We are overwhelmed with the sheer professionalism and humanity that your agency provide. You have proved to be very flexible and treat my mother with such respect and dignity. It gives us, finally, peace of mind for the times when we cannot be with mum. For that, we cannot thank you enough.
Jane, client's daughter
Each of the three regular caregivers treats my mother with the utmost kindness and respect, and she looks forward to their visits. Each of the ladies provides a different kind of experience from short outdoor walks to board games to exercise and massage. The visits have enabled her to continue to live independently in her home. I have nothing but appreciation for the work that the caregivers and other staff do, and I would recommend Home Instead (Basingstoke) to anyone in similar circumstances.
Shirley, client's daughter
I have found Home Instead (Basingstoke) to be excellent in all respects. The carers are empathetic to my wife’s needs, very caring, knowledgeable, conscientious and very affable. The management act very professionally and beyond what I would have expected, referring my wife to the local surgery when necessary.
Edward, client's husband
Amazed how these carers continue to be consistently ‘on time’ with visits. They always arrive with a smile and more often than not a ‘chirpy’ remark to brighten my day. I have been using this care provider for two years and three months and would not have stayed for so long if I was not very satisfied with the quality of care they provide, not just to my wife, who lights up when they come, but also to myself.
David, client's husband
Home Instead Basingstoke are very friendly, professional and conscientious. They have provided wonderful home visits and care for my mother, who is in her nineties. She greatly enjoys their visits and they are very caring and friendly. The care staff are very good and the management team run the organisation very well in my experience, and they have all been flexible, understanding and very dependable. They have maintained their high standards consistently despite the huge challenges that Covid has added to their workload. We are very grateful for the service they provide.
Guy, client's son
Both my parents have been supported by Home Instead for many years and the service is, in all the family’s view, excellent. All the carers have been very professional, friendly, attentive, always going the extra mile, treat their clients with the utmost dignity and all in all provide a top class care service. The management team is also top class, very professional, always quick to respond, always providing solutions to problems, have always provided top class carers, and often come themselves to keep in touch with clients.
David, client's son
This highly professional team have looked after my mother for a couple of years. The team all demonstrate a passion for care and going the extra mile. Some of the carers became close friends to Mum. They not only provided first class care but demonstrated considerable empathy and patience. They would encourage Mum to talk of her time in the Women’s Royal Navy Service, of the family growing up and of all her memorable experiences. The visits became a social highlight for her as well as for providing essential care.
Richard, client's son
Home Instead was recommended to me when it was obvious that my mum needed extra help at home. My mum was very against having someone from outside helping her but when Home Instead came along for the initial meeting my mum warmed to them straight away. They started caring for Mum and were excellent, they turned up on time, did extras like making Mum a sandwich at lunchtime and really took the strain off my husband and me.
Sandra, client's daughter
The carers are highly professional, conscientious, empathetic and very caring. They provide first-class care to my 91-year-old mother which allows her to live independently in her own home. There has always been a continuity of the same carers over the past year, which has been good for Mum. I highly recommend this professional caring company.
Ann, client's daughter
Home Instead carers are doing a very good job of looking after two elderly people, both suffering with dementia. Without the carers’ daily visits, these two elderly people simply could not continue to live at home, as they cannot prepare food, hot drinks, or be trusted to take their medication. Also these two elderly people need help keeping themselves washed and dressed in clean clothes, and their home clean and tidy. The home care that Home Instead provides really does make the difference between living in the family home and going into a nursing home.
Paul, nephew of clients
Home Instead provide daily visits to care for my mother in law, who has Alzheimer’s and other mental health issues.
Setting up care was easy, with a thorough and understanding review of what we needed. We felt very listened to.
Carers are reliable, friendly and flexible, with the client at the centre of everything. They are knowledgeable and skilled.
I feel that my mother in law is being cared for by kind, professional people and she, and I, are very happy.

Jo, client's daughter in law
We really appreciate the service offered by Home Instead in supporting my mother in her
own home; my mother likes all the care personnel that visit and she looks forward to
their visits. We were delighted that Home Instead took the trouble to find out what my
mother likes to do and her interests, and care personnel are a good ‘match.
Client's daughter
I am enjoying the friendly professional and helpful company of my two live in carers
who interchange fortnightly.
Barbara - live-in client
I have been involved with Home Instead Basingstoke, initially through Let’s Move, for four years and have met many of the staff and found them very pleasant and helpful.
Bob on behalf of his partner, Beryl
Very pleased with the care . Every effort is made to provide good continuity of care with
any new carers introduced to our father with an existing carer that dad is familiar with.
The carers arrive on time, are kind, friendly, respectful and provide dad every support
to allow him to stay in his own home. Thank you
Client's son, Neil
We started using Home Instead care team in June last year and I couldn’t have asked
for anything more from them. Right from the initial interview when they came to
meet us we were impressed with them. They seem to have found those ‘Goldilocks’
qualities of having excellent skills, knowledge and efficiency appropriate to the job,
while being kindness itself, not only to my husband who needs the care but also in
offering much needed support to me. I could not ask for more.
Anne, wife of a client
My family did a lot of research before selecting Home Instead. I am very pleased with
their choice of care company.

Tailored Dementia Care in Tadley
As people age, they can drift away from the familiar routines and community connections that once formed the foundation of their daily lives, leading to isolation and a diminished sense of purpose. Through social interaction and dedicated companionship, Home Instead Basingstoke aims to re-create a feeling of connection and engagement.
Jean, in Tadley, needed help to manage her dementia. We supported her with twice-daily visits to help sequence her personal care, prepare meals and generally offer reassurance. As her condition developed, Jean became more anxious and began to wander dangerously, so her family asked us to provide live-in care; this has significantly improved Jean’s well-being, leaving her much happier and more settled.

Get in touch Trusted Dementia Care support from experienced home care professionals in Tadley
We provide support for the elderly and their families by building relationships. We employ carers who show genuine empathy and whose values align with ours, and provide clients with small teams of carefully matched carers with whom they can form trusting relationships.
Caroline recently shared her thoughts on our home care for her mother in Tadley, saying “Home Instead has been excellent with my mother, who has dementia, since the very first visit. Caring for a family member with dementia can push even the strongest to their limits. Home Instead’s support and advice have been invaluable to me. It’s incredibly reassuring to have compassionate and understanding carers assisting and available at the other end of the phone.”
Additional Dementia Care support and activities in Tadley
Tadley lies on the northern edge of Hampshire, close to the Berkshire border and just six miles from Basingstoke. It saw significant growth during the 1950s and 1960s, largely to house the workforce for the nearby AWE.
Tadley is surrounded by charming villages and places of interest, including the historic Roman town of Silchester where visitors can explore the remains of ancient city walls and an amphitheatre. We discuss the remains and other places of interest in our review of historic walks in north Hampshire.
A quirky 19th-century legend claims that Tadley once had treacle mines, and locals were affectionately called “Tadley Treacle Miners.” To celebrate this heritage, Tadley hosts its annual “Treacle Fair” each June.

- Memory impairment
- Memory lapses

- Difficulty making sense of what is seen
- Recognising people and places
- Changes in mood and behaviour
- Will my loved one have to give up their pet now they have been diagnosed with dementia?
When someone is diagnosed with dementia, it is often assumed that keeping their beloved pet is impossible. This is not necessarily the case. Studies have shown that pets have actually been known to increase the health of those with dementia while providing them with a friend to spend their time with. Owning a cute and cuddly companion can even be an essential part of their daily routine. Before jumping to any conclusions, it may be beneficial to review all of your options when it comes to this important decision.
An unexpected diagnosis can be frightening or difficult, and some might discover that they want their pet to remain by their side. After considering the following factors, you may find that there are other alternatives to immediately giving up a best friend.
Discover More - How can I help my loved one when they have dementia?
For people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, lack of stimulation and boredom can be one of the most frustrating things. It’s important to provide activities that engage and bring pleasure to people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Stimulating activities can help keep them in high spirits and prevent them from developing depression, whilst lessening anxiety and irritability.
Activities should aim to:
- Stir memories and allow them to reminisce about their life
- Foster emotional connections with others – contact with others is vital
- Encourage self-expression
- Make them feel more engaged with life
- Help them feel productive
- My loved one with Dementia has begun to develop aggressive behaviour, can you give me any advice?
If you have a relative with dementia – perhaps you are their carer – you may be aware that at some point you might find yourself dealing with aggressive behaviour from them. This is a prospect that many people fear, but there are ways to cope with such challenging behaviours.
Discover More - Are there warning signs that I or my loved one are getting dementia?
The early stages of dementia are not always obvious, and symptoms and problems might develop slowly. To add to these difficulties, early signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia are frequently easy to dismiss as a normal sign of ageing. However, if you know what to look out for, you can keep an eye on yourself and your loved ones and identify symptoms early. This will allow you to get the medical advice early on and work out care ahead of time.
Discover More - This is my loved ones first Christmas after being diagnosed with dementia, is there any advice you can give?
For a person with dementia, Christmas poses challenges that include disruption to a routine, confusing changes to décor and the layout of a home, and the pressure to be social over extended periods of time. When somebody’s memory or cognitive skills are deteriorating, they will find these tasks especially difficult; it is important that they are catered for in the most sensitive ways possible.
By looking at each potential challenge in turn, we have suggested some ways to manage these difficulties and have a successful Christmas without causing your loved one with dementia distress or exacerbating their confusion.
Discover More - What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?
There are many types of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is simply one form of dementia.
Learn More - Where did the name ‘Alzheimer’s’ come from?
Dr. Alois Alzheimer is credited with discovering Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Alzheimer was a well-known and popular German physician and researcher working in the early 1900s. Physicians and scientists at the time had a fascination with the human brain and were studying it to better understand how it worked.
Dr. Alzheimer met Auguste Deter, the first person who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Auguste told Dr. Alzheimer, “I have forgotten myself”. He brought her to the doctor when she started to have memory loss and delusions. Dr. Alzheimer studied her for several years, noting her decline.
Because of Dr. Alzheimer’s discovery, the disease was named after him.
- I have Alzheimer’s disease/my loved one has Alzheimer’s disease. Can you help me?
Certainly. We know how challenging it can be caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease, however we have years of experience in helping families cope with the situation at home. Our City & Guilds Assured dementia training programme means our Care Professionals are trained to care for people living with all the different types of dementia.
