Staying at home gives someone living with dementia familiar surroundings, familiar sounds, and a routine that already makes sense. Our dementia care in Antrim supports people to keep that going, with the right help at the right time. We match each client with Care Professionals who understand how to work at their pace, whether that's helping with a preferred morning routine or spending time on something they've always enjoyed.
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.
20 years of trusted experience
We exceed UK regulatory standards, rank highly on Homecare.co.uk, and our qualified Care Professionals are trained to the highest standard so you can have complete peace of mind.
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.
Your Local Office
The team here at Home Instead Antrim, Ballymena & Carrickfergus are proud to provide expert home care in Antrim. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
Every care plan we put together starts with the details. We learn how someone likes their day to run, what they prefer to eat, when they're most comfortable with personal care, and what activities hold their interest. A client might enjoy a visit to the local shops or spending time outdoors in a relaxed setting. For someone else, it might be sorting through old photographs or listening to familiar music. Medication prompts are included as part of the daily routine, keeping to the schedule a GP or pharmacist has set out. Care Professionals handle meal preparation and light housekeeping too, so the home stays comfortable and the day keeps its shape. We're regulated by the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA). Every Care Professional completes specialist dementia training before they begin supporting clients, covering practical techniques for helping with memory-related activities so they can pick up on what engages someone and respond to how they're feeling on any given day.
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 a client sees faces they recognise when they open the door. We match people on personality and shared interests, not just availability. Knowing the local area helps too. A Care Professional familiar with Antrim can support a client on an outing to Antrim Library for one of the "Life After Retirement" mornings, or simply walk a route the person has known for years, keeping them connected to places they've always been part of. Our Care Professionals use clear, simple language when speaking with someone living with dementia. They give gentle prompts, allow plenty of time for a response, and stay calm if a person's mood or behaviour shifts during the day. All our Care Professionals hold City & Guilds-assured dementia training, giving them a strong foundation in responding to changes in memory and communication.
We share regular updates with relatives, and we're available to answer questions between visits. Something changes mid-week? Families hear about it from us directly. As an award-winning provider of dementia care in Antrim, we ensure the people closest to the client stay informed and included in decisions. For example, if a client's sleep pattern changes and mornings become more difficult, we'll adjust visit times and update the care plan to support how they are now. We work with families to plan ahead as dementia progresses, reviewing care plans regularly and adjusting support when needs change. If a client starts needing more help in the evenings or their routine shifts, we pick that up during reviews and update the plan accordingly. Coordination with healthcare and other services is part of what we do. We keep those conversations going so families don't have to chase information between appointments.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
