Care Professionals get to know each client's preferences, their habits, and the things that help their day feel settled and predictable.

To us it's personal

A client who has always preferred a particular breakfast, eaten at the same time each morning, will have that routine respected and supported. Our Care Professionals learn these details early on, understanding that personal preferences are essential to maintaining dignity and comfort. Familiar patterns help reduce confusion and anxiety for someone living with dementia. A supported visit to the Towner Art Gallery or afternoon at the Eastbourne Bandstand keeps someone connected to things they've enjoyed locally. Every Care Professional completes specialist dementia training before visiting clients. This comprehensive training covers practical techniques for prompting and supporting with medication, keeping to established schedules. We're regulated by the CQC and our training standards reflect that commitment to quality care. We also look at the home itself. Simple adjustments, like rearranging a kitchen so everyday items are within easy reach or reducing trip hazards, help daily life feel safer and more manageable. Clear labelling of cupboards and good lighting can make a significant difference to independence.

Choosing Home Instead Old Town for personalised home care

The same Care Professionals visit each client regularly, so over time they become a recognised and welcome presence. A familiar face at the door means the start of each visit is calmer. This consistency also means our Care Professionals notice when something shifts, whether that's a change in appetite, a difference in mood or increased difficulty with a familiar task. Their dementia-specific communication training, assured by City & Guilds, prepares them to respond with patience and clarity, using gentle prompts and calm, steady language when a client is confused or distressed. For a client who has always loved tending to their window boxes, a Care Professional who visits often will know when to offer a hand and when to simply be alongside them. Those small, familiar activities stay part of the week, supported by someone who understands how to help without taking over.

Our Old Town Team is With You Through Every Step

Care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needs develop. We provide dementia care in Old Town, understanding that what works today may need to change in the months ahead. Planning covers increasing visit frequency, introducing support at new times, adapting activities to match changing abilities, or coordinating with health professionals. Our experienced Care Professionals work closely with families to monitor changes and respond appropriately. This might involve adjusting daily routines to accommodate new challenges, modifying communication approaches as the condition progresses, or introducing additional safety measures around the home. We can also liaise with GPs, occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals to ensure coordination. Regular family meetings keep everyone informed about care plan adjustments. We document changes carefully and maintain clear communication so everyone understands the current approach. Our flexible approach ensures care continues to meet your relative's evolving needs whilst maintaining their comfort and dignity at home.
