Dementia changes how each person experiences everyday life, which is why every care plan we create is completely individual. We take time to understand someone’s preferences, their history, and the specific ways they like their day to run before any support begins. Personal care is an area where sensitivity and discretion count. Our Care Professionals support with washing, dressing and grooming at a pace that feels comfortable, following familiar habits wherever possible. Medication reminders are folded into daily routines so they don’t feel intrusive, and we liaise with pharmacies and GPs to keep everything on track. For someone who enjoys a stroll along the Peace Bridge and taking in views over the Foyle, we can support that as part of their regular routine. Back at home, we focus on practical details like rearranging furniture to ensure a clear, well-organised space to make moving around easier and safer. We’re regulated by the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA), and every Care Professional completes specialist dementia training before they begin supporting clients.
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.

When someone living with dementia sees the same Care Professional regularly, it shows. There's less hesitation at the door, less time spent re-establishing who's who, and a stronger sense of ease throughout the visit. Our Care Professionals use clear, unhurried language and gentle prompts during conversations. If a client becomes confused or unsettled, they stay calm and redirect with patience. Over time, this means they're well placed to notice subtle shifts in mood, appetite, or behaviour that someone less familiar might miss. All our Care Professionals are highly skilled in dementia support, so they understand the practical techniques for communication, engagement, and responding to changes as they happen. A client near the Waterside who's always enjoyed card games or the crossword might find those activities become a welcome part of each visit, keeping their mind active in a way that feels ordinary and enjoyable.
We help families plan ahead as dementia progresses, with regular care plan reviews that account for changing needs. Where coordination with GPs, pharmacists, or other services is needed, we handle that directly so families aren't left chasing updates between appointments. Communication with relatives is straightforward. We share regular updates on how things are going, and we're available when questions come up between visits. If something changes, families hear about it promptly. As an example, if a client starts finding their usual evening routine more difficult, we'll adjust the timing and level of support in their care plan and talk it through with the family first. Our dementia care in Derry adapts as needs shift, with the same familiar Care Professionals continuing to provide support so there's no disruption to the client's week. Each adjustment is practical and specific, based on what we're observing day to day.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
