Living with dementia can make familiar surroundings increasingly important, which is why receiving care at home can be particularly beneficial. Our carefully matched Care Professionals support clients through memory challenges by maintaining consistent routines and helping with daily activities that might become difficult, such as meal preparation, medication reminders, or personal care. The familiarity of home provides comfort and stability, while our flexible care packages range from a few hours weekly to overnight support or live-in care. Our care adapts as needs change, ensuring your loved one receives exactly the right level of support at each stage of their dementia journey.
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.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Our Care Starts With Connection
Our dedicated team helps clients stay connected to the Cheriton community, maintaining important social bonds that support cognitive health. We regularly accompany clients to local spots like the Folkestone Library’s memory groups or the Cheriton Baptist Church coffee morning, where friendly faces create a warm, welcoming environment. Care Professionals might also support trips to the beautiful Lower Leas Coastal Park for gentle exercise, or arrange visits to the Silver Screen cinema showings at the Folkestone Quarterhouse. These outings are carefully planned around each client’s preferences and abilities, ensuring they remain connected to the community they love.
Our Home Care Services
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
Hourly Home Care
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.
Thanks again for the great care you all are giving Mum, from someone so reluctant to accept care now looks forward daily to her Care Professionals. BIG achievement!

Our Cheriton Team is With You Through Every Step
The entire office team is based locally, making it easy for families to pop in for advice or meet us in person to discuss changing care needs. Every Care Professional we employ receives comprehensive dementia training, learning practical techniques for communication, managing behavioural changes, and creating positive daily experiences, skills that make a real difference in the lives of our clients living with dementia in Cheriton.
This local experience also guides our active collaboration with healthcare professionals and community organisations to enhance dementia support throughout Cheriton. Our team regularly attends the Kent Dementia Forum to stay updated on best practices and share knowledge with other professionals supporting those living with dementia. We are currently developing plans to launch a Dementia Café in the local area, creating a welcoming space where people affected by dementia and their carers can find friendship, activities, and support. Supporting the Dementia Action Alliance has strengthened our connections with local GP practices and memory clinics, helping us create comprehensive care plans that consider all aspects of a person’s wellbeing.
Our dementia care in Cheriton is designed by experts and is City & Guilds Assured, so you know your loved one is receiving only the very best care. Our Care Professionals focus on creating an environment that's calm and consistent, while maintaining dignity and familiar routines to reduce confusion and keep clients comfortable.
