Frontal lobe Dementia, more formally known as Fronto-temporal Dementia (FTD), is a less common but significant type of Dementia.

FTD impacts the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain – the areas responsible for behaviour, personality, decision-making, and language.

Key facts about FTD:

-FTD often develops at a younger age, typically between 45–65.
-Early symptoms are usually changes in personality, behaviour, and communication, rather than memory loss.
-People may experience difficulties with planning, social awareness, and language.
-Over time, it can affect movement as well as thinking skills.

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury for older adults - especially those who aren't independently mobile or are in need of extra support.

Here are 4 simple ways to reduce risks at home:

- Remove hazards

Carer spotlight ⭐️

Meet Susan, one of the many fantastic carers on Elder going above and beyond to support older adults in the comfort of their own homes.

After almost 15 years in care, Susan shared how her current care recipient has become her "best friend."

Susan cherishes their first Christmas together, three years ago after her client came home from the hospital. It is a beautiful reminder of the profound impact of live-in care. “She was not alone,” she said. “It was so fulfilling just to be with her.”

Live-in care isn't about rules or regulations; it’s about continuing the life your loved one knows and loves, surrounded by comfort and friendship.

This is the difference we are proud to support.

The difference between in-home care and moving into a care home can be life-changing for many families.

With in-home care, your loved one stays in the comfort of their own home - keeping familiar routines, food, hobbies, and community.

It truly allows your loved one to continue with their way of life, with 1-1 tailored support and companionship.

Unfortunately, in a care home, a lot of the personal approaches are replaced with a more standardised approach to care.

Every care story is personal, and ours is no different. Our founder, Pete was inspired to help families like yours after struggling to find the right care for his own Gran, Frances.

"She is now thriving at home."

For Emma’s Mum, living with Alzheimer's and being away from her familiar surroundings would have likely caused heightened stress, anxiety, and confusion.

To hear that she is now "thriving at home" with in-home care shows that being cared for at home, truly enables a person to continue living their life in the place they know and love.

This review speaks volumes about the power of finding the right care.

We know that times like this are unbelievably overwhelming for families, and providing them with support and a straightforward process is so important to us.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Lewy Body Dementia: what are the early signs?

Many families haven’t heard of Lewy Body Dementia - even though it’s the second most common form of Dementia after Alzheimer’s.

In the early stages, symptoms can be subtle and easy to miss. You might notice:

- Forgetting names or misplacing items
- Mild memory loss or problems concentrating
- Occasional changes in balance or small falls
- Vivid hallucinations or sudden changes in alertness

The symptoms of Lewy Body Dementia overlap with other conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, meaning Lewy Body Dementia is often misdiagnosed.

"It's just like a sense of relief really".

Kenn and Nicole's loved ones, Jean and John, had lived in their home for 20 years. They didn't want this to change.

Further to this, the family were advised by Dementia specialists that a care home was going to be detrimental to Jean's health. Home care gave Jean and John independence and familiarity, and Kenn and Nicole peace of mind.

If you're looking for quality care at home, Elder can help.
