Spot the Signs: Supporting Families in Enfield Through Dementia and Elderly Care
Learn to recognise the early signs of dementia and explore supportive, compassionate ways to care for your loved ones—right here in Enfield.
Navigating Elder Care With Heart and Understanding
Caring for an ageing parent or relative can be one of life’s most meaningful responsibilities—but also one of its most complex. When memory loss, confusion, or personality changes begin to surface, it can be difficult to know where to turn. At Home Instead Enfield, we’re here to walk with you through every step, providing tailored support, guidance, and expert care that brings peace of mind.
Could It Be More Than Ageing?
It’s natural to write off small changes in an elderly loved one’s behaviour as part of the ageing process. But when you pause to reflect, have you noticed any of the following?
- Missed appointments or forgotten medications
- Difficulty managing bills or daily finances
- Struggles with housework or personal hygiene
- Changes in mood or withdrawal from conversation
- Trouble recognising familiar people or surroundings
These subtle signs can point to early cognitive decline, including undiagnosed dementia. In fact, 38% of families suspect their loved one may be living with an undiagnosed condition. Early recognition empowers families to take action before things escalate—and that’s where we can help.
Meet Kathy: A Local Carer's Story
Like many in Enfield, Kathy is the primary carer for her elderly parent. Her story is filled with love, but also worry and fatigue. She finds herself juggling:
- Keeping her parent’s home safe and accessible
- Coordinating medical appointments and personal care
- Searching for reliable in-home support
- Feeling emotionally stretched thin
52% of people like Kathy feel they have less time for their own children or partners. And 45% struggle financially while caring for someone with dementia. At Home Instead Enfield, we’re committed to changing that picture—offering families more support, more time, and more hope.
The Care Compass: Your Local Dementia Support Hub
