Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
Living with dementia can make familiar surroundings incredibly important for maintaining a sense of security and wellbeing. Our home-based care allows your loved one to stay in their own space, surrounded by cherished memories and personal belongings that provide comfort and orientation. Daily routines can become challenging as dementia progresses, but our Care Professionals gently support with everything from morning wake-up rituals to evening wind-down activities, adapting their approach as needs change. We understand that good nutrition often suffers when someone lives with dementia, so we take time to prepare favourite meals, encourage hydration, and make mealtimes a pleasant social experience rather than just a necessary task.
What we do to care for your loved ones
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. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

At a very difficult and emotional time we found Home Instead to be incredibly supportive. They always acted swiftly, professionally and with good humour and it was always made clear that our Dad’s wishes were of the utmost importance. To have such support at a very difficult time was absolutely priceless and we can’t thank you enough. – Client’s family member
Feedback from our clients
Home Instead came to me via personal recommendation and I couldn’t be happier with the service provided to my parents. More importantly, my parents (both fiercely independent and initially very reluctant) have been delighted with the support they are receiving
Sandra is funny the way she tells her stories and she is jolly and she is so quick. I call her Speedy Gonzales. She just has a lovely personality
Historically care pros have found Kathleen a little difficult to build a relationship with as she is so fiercely independent but for the first time ever in her care experience she has commented how much she enjoyed Anna’s visit and what a laugh she had – which seems in line with her visit notes!” – Kathleens Family member
Home Instead have provided personal and respite care to my parents for 8 months – they’ve always been professional, polite, helpful and friendly. The carers never rush and nothing is too much trouble. Communication with the office is great – they’re always on hand to deal with any queries. I’d happily recommend them
All the Home Instead carers I’ve met have been terrific—proactive, helpful, friendly, and trustworthy. The administrative team is equally supportive and responsive. Navigating the complex world of senior care was daunting, but Home Instead has guided me to a solution that works well for my parents and gives me peace of mind. I’ve also appreciated their flexibility, adapting support as my parents’ needs have evolved—from one hour a week to a full-time, live-in carer, allowing them to stay in their much-loved family home.
Very professional from the start. As a carer myself there was a list of criteria. All was covered in the initial interview without prompting. Love the quantity and quality of the care provided.
Although professional, all carers have become part of the family. Mum is happy and so are we. Love you all.
For a few years now we have used Home Instead for companion visits to my son. They have always acted with utmost professionalism and compassion and have ensured that there’s continuity of care. This is so important to build a rapport between the client and carer and my son considers his carer as a friend. I know that they always have my son’s best interest at heart and this is so reassuring. I would recommend them without any hesitation
Home Instead has cared for my mother for several years, has had excellent care, and any issues have always been sorted out very promptly.
Would not use any other provider – very happy with everything.”
Home Instead have been caring for my father for 18 months now. The staff and caregivers are always friendly and efficient and make an effort to engage my Dad in a conversation around a subject they know he enjoys. They have brought in their own books and go that little bit further with the service provided.”

- 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
- 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?Discover More
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.
- 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.
- This is my loved ones first Christmas after being diagnosed with dementia, is there any advice you can give?Discover More
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.
- What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?Learn More
There are many types of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is simply one form of dementia.
- 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.
