Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
The familiar surroundings of home can provide invaluable comfort and stability for someone living with dementia. We understand that memory loss can make new environments overwhelming, which is why our care allows clients to remain in the place where their memories are strongest. Our Care Professionals are trained to adapt their support as dementia progresses, adjusting routines and communication styles to match each person’s changing needs. This personalised approach helps reduce anxiety and confusion while promoting dignity and independence, whether that means assistance with daily tasks, gentle reminders for medication, or simply providing reassuring companionship.

My heartfelt thanks to all at Hereford Home Instead. They have assisted my father, who has dementia, for the last 19 months. The support they have given to him and myself, living so far away, is impeccable. They have become very much part of our family. Highly recommended as a home care service.
Tara, daughter of JP
I recommend Home Instead, Hereford and the excellent work they and their carers do every day. My mother would not be able to continue living in her home if it was not for the caregiver’s companionship and support with daily errands and appointments as well as trips out to have lunch or the garden centre.
Donna's review, as a daughter
After my grandmother (she’s 95) had a fall at home, a call to Home Instead & a discussion about her needs gave me assurance. Since Home Instead have been involved with her care, my grandmother has been able to remain at home safely, also improved her nutritional intake & care of her personal, psychological and emotional needs.
Deb (grand-daughter of Client)
Excellent standards of care and respect for those being cared for – I can honestly say that Home Instead tick these boxes for Mum but they also provide me with the comfort that we’re doing everything we can for her to enjoy her sunset years.
Stewart (son of Client)
It was clear to us that the only team that was likely to be able to provide the required standards of personalised, sensitive and appropriate care and companionship for Dad was Home Instead. As it turned out, the team has exceeded our expectations. I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead. If only all agencies could be like this.
Nick (remote son of father, during Covid)
The ladies looking after my parents are all wonderful, and are much loved by mum and dad! The team at the office are equally wonderful, and are easy to talk to, and welcoming! There is always someone with a friendly voice at the end of the phone in case we need them. Thank you, Home Instead
S C (Daughter of Client)
The carers and all the staff were very kind, caring, and thoughtful and went above and beyond, which made a big difference in his end-of-life care! My opinion is that you could not have done any better; you service was just excellent and a big heartfelt thank you to everybody involved!
Carl D (Son of Client)
I contacted Home Instead after my dad fell, he is the primary carer for my mum who has Dementia and was struggling. They called back the same day and had carers within days. They assist Dad in the house with chores and chat to him. They have also helped us access resources to assist Mum’s comfort.
Sally B (Daughter of Client)
As a retired hospital physician, I knew that my wife presented complex care requirements in what proved to be her final illness. The Care Quality Commission rated Home Instead Hereford as ‘Good’ in every category. As an experienced clinician who observed them at first hand over several months, I considered them ‘Outstanding’ in all categories.
Henry C (Husband of Client)
Home Instead (Hereford) were so supportive. They have been supporting my mother for the last 3 years and we could not have got through it all without them. If anyone is looking for this care at whatever stage your loved one is, I would thoroughly recommend Home Instead (Hereford).
Lynne M (Daughter of Client)
When I had to find a care agency it was a daunting task but I am so glad I found Home Instead. The carers were outstanding… I particularly liked the fact that I had an app on my phone and they recorded every little detail so I was able to see how my mother was doing at any time.

- 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?
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.
