Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
Living with dementia doesn’t mean leaving the comfort and familiarity of home, which is why our care is designed to support independence for as long as possible. Our Care Professionals understand how important routine and familiar surroundings can be for reducing anxiety and confusion, particularly as dementia progresses. We’re trained to adapt our approach as needs change, supporting with gentle reminders, meal preparation, medication prompts, or simply providing meaningful companionship to prevent isolation. Most importantly, we respect each person’s dignity and preferences, creating a supportive environment where they feel understood and valued rather than defined by their condition.
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.

Julie - Daughter of Client
My mum’s care from Adam has been exceptional, he takes every opportunity to make life as interesting as possible for her, taking her out for trips in the car, discussing books he has read with her, and generally taking a real interest in her life.
Shirley - Daughter of Client
I am so lucky that I picked Home Instead Havant to provide the support that I need to remain in my own home. The whole team work together really well in a professional manner and I now regard them all as good friends.
John - Client
My mother likes her companionship visits, she is very independent and has never wanted help, which, ager a few hospital visits, was very necessary. Their kindness and assistance whilst helping my mother remain as independent as she can be is brilliant.
Daughter of Client
Having used another provider, we had to change care for my elderly mother, not an easy task! We had a very small window of time to do so. Home Instead Havant have provided excellent service and attention to detail resulting in a happy client. In comparison to previous care companies, they are considerably more professional and attentive.
RC - Son of Client
The patience shown by Sheila’s Care Professionals has been exemplary. They are more friends or family than helpers, and for that, we are most grateful.
Family member of Client
I was back for dad’s birthday weekend and I was really impressed with his Care Professional, Luisa. She and dad have a great rapport and there was lots of laughter between them. He seems in great form.

Tailored Dementia Care in West Town
Our support extends beyond the home, helping clients stay connected to the West Town community they love. We regularly accompany clients to local dementia cafés and social gatherings listed in our specially created ‘What’s On Where’ Guide, which we’ve distributed throughout Havant to help the elderly community find suitable activities. Our Care Professionals might support a gentle stroll around Staunton Country Park or accompany clients to relaxing afternoon tea at The Spring Arts Centre, where the quiet atmosphere suits those who might find busier environments overwhelming. We also partner with local Fall Prevention Teams and help clients participate in gentle exercise classes specifically designed to maintain mobility and independence.

- 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?

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?
