Memory changes can make the world feel increasingly confusing, but staying in familiar surroundings can provide essential stability and comfort. Our care approach recognises that routine, familiar objects, and personal treasures often serve as meaningful anchors for someone experiencing cognitive changes. We support clients through early diagnosis to more advanced stages where communication becomes challenging, always adapting our approach to maintain dignity and independence. The kitchen where they’ve prepared thousands of family meals, the garden they’ve tended for decades, the photographs on their walls – these deeply personal connections to memory and identity can make home the optimal place for dementia support.
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.

Keeping connected to the Axminster community life plays a vital role in maintaining wellbeing for our clients living with dementia. Our Care Professionals regularly accompany clients to dementia-friendly events and venues, where familiar faces and gentle conversation provide meaningful social interaction. We coordinate visits to Axminster’s Memory cafe at the Methodist Church Hall, where specialised activities and support create a welcoming environment specifically designed for those with memory challenges. For nature lovers, we often arrange gentle strolls through Trinity Hill Nature Reserve or visits to Kilmington Common, as these natural settings can be particularly calming and stimulating for sensory engagement.
We are led by Directors Mark and Vanessa McGlade, who started Home Instead in East Devon in 2011 after witnessing poor-quality care when supporting their own grandmother. Our local knowledge runs deep – Vanessa grew up in East Devon and our entire team lives in the communities we serve, including Axminster and surrounding villages. Our General Manager, Laura, has been with us since 2013, bringing extensive health and social care experience to oversee our specially trained team of Care Professionals. Our dementia training ensures a hands-on, practical learning experiences that prepare our team for the real-world challenges of supporting someone with memory changes. We run free dementia workshops for local families, offering practical tips and emotional support for anyone who’s caring for a loved one at home. Our team regularly pops into local businesses too, providing free training on simple ways they can better help customers who are living with dementia. We work closely with healthcare providers as well, making sure care is properly coordinated and there’s good communication between health services and the support we provide at home.
