Case Study: Transforming a home for a family living with dementia

/by

How Merry Maids Bedford supported a customer with dementia with their professional deep cleaning services. 

At Merry Maids, our job is more than just cleaning.

It’s about making a safe, clean, and healthy place where people, especially those with dementia, can thrive.

As part of our nationwide fundraising support, we’re working with Alzheimer’s Society to provide our cleaners across the UK with dementia awareness training that allows us to provide expertly-informed cleaning services to our customers.

This case study from the team at Merry Maids Bedford showcases our support cleaning for a local family living with dementia.

What did the customer need?

A woman with dementia was in the hospital, and her home had become cluttered and borderline unsafe.

With the approval of her son and the support of her social worker, our dementia-trained team helped to transform her home into a tidy and safe space for her to come back to when she came out of the hospital.

What we did

Our team of committed staff worked hard to clean every surface, remove unnecessary items, and thoroughly clean to make the home safe and comfortable again.

The transformation was remarkable, with the woman’s son expressing both his surprise and gratitude for the work done by our team,

“I’m extremely grateful for the hard work and dedication the ladies put into a difficult and unpleasant day’s work. With so much to do, they’ve made a huge difference.”

As a dementia-friendly company, Merry Maids trains our staff to handle these delicate situations with care, respect, and professionalism.

Dementia can bring special difficulties, but we treat every situation with compassion and expertise.

We sanitise, clean and declutter homes making sure those living with dementia can enjoy a safe and healthy home.
