Quality, Personalised Dementia Care in Cumbria

No two days look the same when someone is living with dementia, which is why our care across Cumbria is tailored to personal habits, preferences and long-held routines. We take time to learn how each person likes their day to go, whether that’s a quiet start with a cup of tea, time in the garden, or a walk when the weather allows.

Care plans cover the steady parts of the day that help maintain structure, such as preparing familiar meals, offering reminders to drink water and supporting confident movement around the home. Activities are chosen thoughtfully, from organising household items to listening to music that brings back memories.

Every Care Professional completes City & Guilds-assured dementia training, learning communication approaches that ease tension and support clearer interactions. We stay attentive to changes in mood, mobility or concentration and adapt support as needed. As a CQC-regulated provider, our dementia care in Cumbria is reliable, respectful and centred on everyday living.

Person-centred care

Our approach in Cumbria starts with understanding the person behind the diagnosis. Care Professionals learn what contributes to a smoother day, such as preferred routines, comfortable spaces in the home or the type of conversation someone enjoys. This familiarity helps each visit feel more relaxed and predictable.

Communication is always adjusted to the moment. Some people prefer short explanations, while others respond better when given more time. We pay attention to tone, pace and body language so interactions remain supportive rather than overwhelming. A small team of familiar Care Professionals visits regularly, helping trust grow naturally over time.

Activities reflect individual interests and might include light household tasks, listening to a favourite radio station, watching the birds in the garden or spending a little time outdoors. Everything we do aims to maintain dignity, reduce pressure and support the person in a way that feels respectful and appropriate.

Choosing Home Instead for personalised dementia care in Cumbria

Supporting a relative with dementia can feel like a lot to manage, which is why our home care includes consistent communication and guidance for families. We stay in regular contact, so relatives understand how things are progressing and feel able to discuss concerns openly. The local office team is easy to reach when plans need adjusting or situations change unexpectedly.

Because a small and consistent team visits regularly, they notice subtle shifts in behaviour, energy levels or physical ability. These observations help families plan and think about what additional support may be needed. We also share straightforward advice on adapting the home, such as improving lighting or reorganising spaces to make movement easier.

Families across Cumbria tell us they value having knowledgeable people to speak with, especially during more difficult stages of dementia. We’re here to offer practical guidance, reassurance and support for both clients and relatives at every stage.
