About AFD Support Services
AFD Support is a home care agency based in Heywood, working with people across Rochdale and the surrounding area in their own homes. Our focus is on older people, including those living with dementia. A visit might be a single call first thing to help somebody wash, dress and have a proper breakfast, or several calls through the day, or a longer stretch of support so that nobody is on their own for hours at a time. Dementia care at home is largely about consistency and patience. The same carer arriving at roughly the same time, doing things in the order a person is used to, and knowing that somebody always has tea before they will think about getting dressed. We meet people where they are rather than correcting them into our version of the day, and we plan for the parts of the afternoon that are usually harder instead of being surprised by them every time. We keep families informed and we raise concerns early. Often a carer is the person best placed to notice that somebody is eating less, sleeping differently or steadier or shakier than last month. If you would like to talk about care at home in this area, please get in touch and we will arrange to visit and discuss what would help.
