The Home Instead Dementia Care home care team, here to help the St Leonards community

Dementia care in St Leonards should be as unique as the person receiving it. At Home Instead, we provide personalised dementia support that adapts to each stage of the journey, recognising that no two experiences of dementia are the same. Our Care Professionals can undertake City & Guilds Assured dementia training, giving families confidence that their loved ones are in capable, understanding hands. We don’t wear uniforms when visiting clients because we understand the importance of familiarity and comfort, rather than creating the feeling of a clinical service in your loved one’s home.

Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you

Living with dementia can sometimes bring challenges with routine, memory, and maintaining independence, which is why receiving care at home can make such a positive difference. In familiar surroundings, people living with dementia typically experience less confusion and anxiety, allowing for greater comfort and better overall wellbeing. Our support can be tailored flexibly around your loved one’s specific needs, starting from just an hour a day right through to overnight care or live-in support as their journey progresses. We always focus on what your family member can still do rather than what they can’t, helping to maintain their dignity and sense of self throughout our care.

We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home.
