In Hampshire, around 23,700 individuals live with dementia, of which more than 50% are yet to be formally diagnosed, reports Hampshire County Council. Home Instead Basingstoke offers compassionate, home-based dementia care to residents of Overton and across north Hampshire. We are dementia care specialists. Our caregivers receive extensive training in caring for those with dementia, and many go on to do more advanced courses and qualifications in the subject. As well as home care, we also offer community based activities and events to support people living with dementia and their families, and to raise awareness of the condition.

Choosing Home Instead Overton for personalised home care
Social isolation often creeps in with age, exacerbated by dementia. At Home Instead Basingstoke, our objective is to reverse that. Our in-home care for the elderly nurtures relationships and promotes engagement through social interaction, mental stimulation, outings and gentle exercise. William lived alone in North Waltham, near Overton. Due to deterioration of his eyesight he was no longer able to drive, and was finding it increasingly difficult to prepare meals and do essential housework. Our carers would change the bed, put the washing on and then take William wherever he wanted to go that day; sometimes it would be to Festival Place in Basingstoke, other times it might be to a pub like The Fox Inn in Ellisfield for lunch.
We believe the best care comes from carers who genuinely care. That's why we select only those who demonstrate real empathy, and a passion for supporting older adults. We train them well and match them carefully with our clients. Our small, consistent teams build trust quickly, which families really appreciate. Katie shared her thoughts about our care for her grandmother, who was living with dementia in Overton: "I am so grateful to your team. They were incredibly kind and thoughtful, not only to my nan but also to me. They did an excellent job caring for her and repeatedly came up with ways to improve her well-being."
This trust is matched by the character of Overton itself. Situated eight miles west of Basingstoke, Overton is a large village in north Hampshire encompassing the hamlets of Southington, Northington, Ashe, Polhampton, and Quidhampton. The River Test, famous for its excellent trout fishing, has its source in Ashe and flows through Overton. Known historically for paper manufacturing, Overton Mill once produced bank notes for the Bank of England and over 150 other national currencies. It has been suggested that the mill's location at Quidhampton is the origin of the term "Quid" for £1, but that is just one of several theories.
We deliver tailored home care to the Overton community to nurture wellbeing and independence.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
Our dementia care in Overton is designed by experts and is City & Guilds Assured, so you know your loved one is receiving only the very best care. Our Care Professionals focus on creating an environment that's calm and consistent, while maintaining dignity and familiar routines to reduce confusion and keep clients comfortable.
