FAQs - Dementia

Q. What role does medication have in the management of dementia?

A. No medications have been shown to prevent or cure dementia.

Medications may be used to treat the behavioural and cognitive symptoms, but have not been proved to alter the underlying disease process. For example, acetylcholinesterase inhibitor drugs, such as Donepezil, may be useful for the symptoms of certain types of dementia, however the benefit is likely to be small and side effects including slow heart rate and fainting may occur in some people.

Symptoms such as depression, sleep disturbance and difficult or dangerous behaviour might improve with specific prescription drugs.

Q. Can I try the equipment before buying it?

A. You are welcome to come to our showroom and see the equipment in action. If you are still unsure, we offer a wide range of products available for rent, either for periods as short as 2 days to longer than a year.

Q. Do I need to pay VAT?

A. If you have a long-term medical condition you do not need to pay VAT on most products that we sell. We can advise you this and help you with the simple paperwork.

Q. I’m not sure how long I’ll need the equipment for?

A. Dementia may, sometimes, progress rapidly and equipment needs may change over time. We offer both rental option and sometimes a buy-back options. We will be happy to advise you on the choices that are available.
