Get in touch Why Dementia Care may be right for you
Many families facing a dementia diagnosis are left with more questions than answers. Our New Ageing Index shows that 90% of family carers feel they would benefit from support in the early stages, and that’s where we can help. Our Care Professionals receive specialist dementia training through City & Guilds, so they’re prepared to provide the right support from the very beginning. With over 12 years of experience, we know how to spot changes early and adjust our dementia care as things progress. This can include support with morning routines, preparing meals, gentle prompts, or simply being there to ease moments of anxiety. Most importantly, we work closely with families, offering guidance, reassurance, and a familiar face along the way.

Tailored Dementia Care in Bromley, Chislehurst and Orpington
We believe that living well with dementia means going beyond the everyday and tailoring care to each individual. It’s not just about routines and reminders; it’s finding ways to reconnect with the things they love, without compromising their comfort or independence. That’s why our owner, Karina Brown, serves as a trustee of Age UK Bromley, which runs groups and events that help our clients feel a part of their community. For example, one of our care professionals accompanied their client to the Bromley URC Church for the Memory Singers group after learning about her love for music. For someone living with memory loss, even small moments, like reminiscing over their favourite song or visiting a familiar place, can make a big difference.

- Will my loved one have to give up their pet now they have been diagnosed with dementia?Discover More
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.
- How can I help my loved one when they have dementia?Discover More
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

- Encourage self-expression

- Help them feel productive

- Are there warning signs that I or my loved one are getting dementia?Discover More
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.

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.

- 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?
