Our dementia support extends beyond the home, helping clients stay connected to the Downend community they love. We regularly accompany clients to dementia-friendly events where engaging activities provide meaningful social interaction and cognitive stimulation. Our Care Professionals help maintain cherished routines, like Saturday visits to Page Park or shopping trips to Emersons Green, preserving those everyday joys that matter so much. For those who enjoy quieter activities, we might share a peaceful moment at Lincombe Barn Heritage Museum or enjoy the sensory experience of the beautiful gardens at Vassall’s Park – all part of our commitment to supporting not just physical needs but emotional wellbeing too.
We are led by a passionate team with a personal understanding of dementia care needs, including our owner, Andrew, who has supported family members with dementia. Our Registered Manager, Anne-Marie, started as a Care Professional with us over six years ago, bringing authentic front-line experience to her leadership role. Before sending any Care Professional into your home, we ensure they complete our comprehensive dementia training programme, which is the only one in UK home care to receive City & Guilds assurance. We are based locally in our Henleaze office, making it easy for families to visit us for a friendly discussion about their loved one’s needs. Building on this personal experience and specialised training, our community connections enhance the support we provide to those living with dementia throughout North Bristol. Andrew serves as a trustee of the Alive! charity, which delivers creative activities specifically designed for people living with dementia across Bristol. Our active partnership with the Bristol Dementia Action Alliance helps us stay at the forefront of dementia-friendly initiatives and best practices in our community. We host popular monthly Film Clubs, creating wonderful opportunities for reminiscence and social connection in a relaxed, supportive environment. These community relationships are not just nice extras, as they are integral to our approach of supporting the whole person.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
