Caregiver support for dementia in Kota Bharu
Daily-living caregiver guidance for dementia in Kota Bharu, with clear clinical boundaries.
Planning day-to-day support
The referral letter says one thing; the kitchen at 7am says another. Spend a few ordinary days noticing what the person still manages, what has quietly become harder, and the exact moments a fall or a missed meal becomes likely. Those moments are the brief a caregiver needs.
Ask the treating team to put the specifics on paper before care starts: how to move the person safely, what food consistency is right, how much activity is wanted, and which changes justify a call. A caregiver follows that sheet; the professionals who wrote it stay responsible for changing it.
Decide in advance who hears about what. A quiet change in eating or mobility goes in the daily note; a fall, new confusion or breathing trouble goes to the treating team through the agreed route; a genuine emergency goes to 999 without waiting for anyone to reply.
For travel planning, the nearest other areas are Tumpat (about 10 km) and Pasir Mas (about 21 km).
