Michael (Client)
I approached Home Instead 8 years ago when my dad had the shattering news of a dementia diagnosis. Initially, he needed company and support with shopping and household chores, Understanding that someone with dementia needs stability and consistency, he received support from the same two ladies for several years.
Overtime, his care, and support has been adapted to meet his changing needs, he now has a live in carer with Home Instead – which happened to be one of his main carers, which helped the transition. As a direct result of her support, he maintained links with the community and has continued to attend Dementia friendly clubs and events. In cold weather, Home Instead staff have offered their own program of events activities he loves, including puzzles, board games, arts, and crafts.
His care needs have slowly but steadily increased over the years they have been there for every step of the journey. Supporting us with local Therapy services, his home has been adapted to keep him as safe as possible, providing excellent care and support over the years, giving the whole family significant peace of mind. It has allowed my dad to live at home, independent and have the best life possible. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the service they provide.
Julie (Daughter of Client)
I just wanted to say that Chris has been an outstanding carer. He was calm and totally capable from the moment he arrived, which was impressive in the circumstances.
He seems to be a genuinely kind person who puts thought and effort into making things better for my Dad.
He’s been thinking of different meals to cook which might be more tempting and healthier for Dad. When he walks Dad back from the toilet he takes him past the back door where they stop and look out at the garden. He’s also been working on getting him to watch different programmes instead of just Death In Paradise on a loop. He encourages Dad to do his exercises and to walk around every couple of hours.
He’s also very good with practical things and technology – stairlift, ordering the shopping etc. He’s not the kind of carer who’s calling me all the time. He knows which are the important things (medications, safety, food, drink etc) but otherwise I feel I can relax knowing Dad is in safe hands.
He’s level-headed and sensible, he’s conscientious, he’s interested, he puts effort and energy into making things better for Dad.
Greg also agrees with me that Chris is an absolutely top carer. One of the best we’ve had.
Jenny (Daughter of Live in Client)
The carers that come in on a daily basis to my Dad (92) are first rate. I have peace of mind that someone is seeing him on a daily basis as I live so far away. They all take great care of him, and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Would highly recommend Home Instead East Hampshire.
Sue (daughter of client)
The care provided to my mother (95) by Home Instead for over a year now has been excellent. The quality of the carers is first class – they are professional, caring, thoughtful and helpful, and my mother is very happy with them and the service they provide. It is a huge comfort to me to know that my mother is being looked after well and has been able to stay in her own home – something that is very important to her. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.
Tim (Son of Client)
I have had carers from Home Instead for about 4 years and been very happy with the care I have received. My current carers are excellent and have become good friends.
Mick (Client)
The staff at Home Instead have been caring for my father for about 4 years now and I can’t speak highly enough about them. They visit him at his home on a daily basis and make sure that he is coping with his dementia and help him with daily tasks that he is no longer sure about. They also involve him in the excellent activities for dementia sufferers that Alton provides, and together his two main carers have made a terrific difference to the quality of his life which I could not have managed on my own. I would highly recommend the services of Home Instead and have frequently done so since I discovered them. Thank you, all of you.

- 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?
