Dementia care in Minskip is delivered with warmth, understanding and professionalism by our dedicated Home Instead team. Every journey with dementia is unique, which is why our care is always tailored to individual needs and preferences. Our Care Professionals receive City & Guilds-Assured Dementia Training, the only home care provider to offer this qualification, ensuring exceptional support. We don’t use clinical uniforms, and our one-hour minimum visits allow time for genuine, trusting relationships to form. Our co-owner, Sheena, who supported her own parents through dementia, personally recruits each team member using her “Mum & Dad test” – ensuring care meets the standards we’d want for our own families.
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.

We understand that routine and consistency are vital, which is why we carefully match Care Professionals with clients based on shared interests and personalities, ensuring the same friendly faces provide care each visit.

Our support extends beyond the home, helping clients in Minskip and surrounding villages stay connected to their community despite the challenges of dementia. We regularly accompany clients to local parks, where the sensory experiences and beautiful surroundings provide gentle stimulation and enjoyment. For those interested in social connections, our Care Professionals can support visits to local dementia-friendly cafes, offering activities specifically designed for people living with dementia. On sunny days, we might suggest a gentle stroll along the canal at Boroughbridge or a quiet visit to Newby Hall gardens, with our Care Professionals providing reassurance and assistance throughout these local outings.
We are led by co-owners Sheena and Andrew, whose personal experiences with dementia in their own families have fuelled their passion to make a difference in Minskip and beyond. Sheena’s parents both lived with different types of dementia, giving her firsthand understanding of the challenges families face. Our Head of Care, Luke, brings his military background to ensure our services are delivered with precision and excellence, while Karen, our Client Care Coordinator, meets with all new clients and their families to create personalised care plans. Having our office locally in Harrogate means we’re always accessible for a chat over a cuppa or to provide support when you need it most. Our roots in the local community run deep, with strong partnerships enhancing the support we provide to those living with dementia in Minskip. We regularly support the Memory Café in Knaresborough through awareness-raising and fundraising for special outings. Our monthly dementia-friendly film screenings at Everyman Cinema in Harrogate are a much-loved fixture, offering a safe space for people with dementia and their families. We also host the Virtual Dementia Bus annually at our Harrogate office, giving families and the community powerful insight into life with dementia. These initiatives, along with our regular awareness sessions, reflect our commitment to making Minskip and surrounding areas dementia-friendly.
