People living with dementia can really benefit from staying in surroundings they know, from familiar rooms and a favourite chair to the sounds of their own street. Our dementia care in Addiscombe provides people with the support they need to continue living independently, with Care Professionals who understand how to work alongside them as their needs gradually change.
Personalised dementia care that starts with listening
Your situation is unique – your care should be too. We match our Care Professionals based on their dementia training, interests and personality, so care is always tailored to you.

City & Guilds Assured dementia training
Our programme was created exclusively for Home Instead, and developed alongside key dementia specialists. We focus on caring not just for the condition, but for the person behind it.
Compassionate support for complex behaviours
We work to understand your loved one's world so we can join them in it - this helps us keep them safe and calm, provide stimulating activities, and effectively soothe challenging and complex behaviours.

Every person we support has their own way of doing things. One client might prefer toast and marmalade at half eight with the radio on; another might like a slower start with breakfast closer to ten. Our Care Professionals learn those preferences and follow them consistently, so mornings feel familiar and unhurried. We're regulated by the CQC, and our Care Professionals complete specialist dementia training covering practical techniques for prompting and supporting with medication, keeping to established schedules, and recognising when something's changed. This training helps them understand how dementia affects daily routines and enables them to provide appropriate support whilst maintaining dignity and independence. They're also trained to assess the home environment and suggest adjustments, like improving lighting on stairs or clearing walkways, to reduce trip risks. For clients in Addiscombe, a gentle walk through Coombe Wood can be a welcome part of the week, combining fresh air with light exercise in peaceful surroundings. These outings provide valuable social interaction and help maintain physical wellbeing.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

The same Care Professionals visit regularly, so over time they become a familiar, trusted presence. Someone who knows your routine, your home, and your preferences is far better placed to notice small shifts in mood, behaviour, or ability. They can respond calmly when things feel confusing or unsettling. A client who's always enjoyed music might light up hearing a favourite song. A Care Professional who knows them well will know which record to put on. Whether it's a familiar card game at the kitchen table or a visit to Fairfield Halls for a live performance, keeping those connections alive is part of how we work. Our Care Professionals are skilled in dementia-specific communication techniques, including clear and simple language, gentle prompts, and patient responses when someone is distressed or disoriented. This training is City & Guilds-assured and developed through ongoing learning, not a one-off session.
As dementia progresses, the support someone needs will change, and we plan for that from the start. We carry out regular care plan reviews and coordinate with GPs, pharmacists and other services as appropriate so everything stays joined up. Families can ask questions at any point, and we share updates so nobody is left guessing. When we provide dementia care in Addiscombe, we keep communication clear and straightforward. If a client's sleep pattern changes or they start finding certain tasks more difficult, we'll talk it through with the family and adjust the care plan. That might mean increasing visit frequency, shifting times to suit the person's energy levels, or introducing additional support with personal care. We also help families think ahead, whether that's discussing future options, understanding what funding might be available or working out what the next few months could look like in practical terms.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
