Our dementia care in Darley offers a personalised approach for our clients. We understand that living with dementia presents unique challenges, which is why our Care Professionals receive City & Guilds-Assured Dementia Training. Unlike other services, we don’t have uniforms – helping clients feel more comfortable with familiar faces in their home. We never rush visits, maintaining a one-hour minimum to build meaningful relationships. Our family-led business applies what we call the “Mum & Dad Test” to everything we do, asking ourselves if the care would be good enough for our own parents. This personal touch, combined with our expertise in supporting various stages of dementia, gives families complete peace of mind.
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.

Here in Darley and the surrounding areas, we help clients stay connected to what makes our Yorkshire community special. Our Care Professionals regularly accompany clients to local dementia-friendly cafes, where they can enjoy a proper Yorkshire brew and chat with others in a supportive environment. We love helping our clients continue enjoying Darley’s beautiful walking paths in Nidderdale when mobility allows, or simply sitting in the garden enjoying the fresh air and views that make our location so special. Many of our clients particularly enjoy our support with visits to Harrogate’s Valley Gardens or the peaceful surroundings of Ripon Cathedral, places that often hold cherished memories and provide gentle stimulation.
We are led by Sheena and Andrew, whose personal experiences with dementia in their own families sparked their passion for quality home care. Sheena’s parents both lived with different types of dementia, giving her firsthand understanding of what families go through and the importance of compassionate support. Our experienced care team ensures our services run with precision and excellence, meeting personally with every new client to create a seamless transition into care. Our local office in Harrogate is always open for families seeking advice or wanting to discuss how we can support their needs. Building on this personal experience and structured support, our community connections ensure our dementia care extends beyond the home. We proudly support Knaresborough’s Memory Café, helping fund outings and activities through Home Instead Charities. Each month, we collaborate with Everyman Cinema in Harrogate to offer dementia-friendly film screenings where clients and families can enjoy entertainment in an understanding environment. Our annual Virtual Dementia Bus at our Harrogate office gives families and community members insight into what living with dementia feels like, building empathy and understanding. We regularly hold free dementia awareness sessions throughout the local area, sharing practical tips that help families communicate better with loved ones living with dementia.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
