Dementia Care in Ely
Tier-3 dementia training across the Cambridge team
For people with dementia, change is often the trigger for sudden decline. Keeping someone in their own home, with a familiar carer who understands behavioural symptoms, is usually the kindest and clinically the safest option. Our Ely team has Tier-3 dementia training across the board.

Common questions from Ely families
Can you handle the wandering?
Yes. Our risk assessment covers door alarms, GPS trackers if appropriate, and gentle redirection techniques. We do not use restraint.
My parent forgets the carer is coming — will they let them in?
We agree a routine entry process at the start. Some families use a key safe; others have the carer phone first. The dementia-trained team is good at the gentle approach to first introductions.
What if behaviour gets worse and we need night support?
We add waking-night care without changing day carer. Many of our Ely dementia clients start with day support and add nights as the condition progresses.
Do you work with the Cambridge memory clinic?
Yes — we communicate with consultants, community psychiatric nurses (CPNs) and the Admiral Nurse service whenever the family asks us to.
