At Home Instead, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional dementia care in Portchester that’s as unique as the individuals we support. Our approach to dementia care goes beyond basic assistance, offering personalised support that adapts to each stage of the condition and respects the person’s dignity and independence. With our CQC ‘Outstanding’ rating since 2019, we’ve spent over a decade building trusted relationships with families throughout Fareham and Gosport. What really sets us apart are our minimum one-hour visits, ensuring our Care Professionals have proper time to connect with clients rather than rushing through tasks. We don’t wear uniforms either – this simple touch helps create a more relaxed, friendly environment.
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.

The team here at Home Instead Fareham & Gosport are proud to provide expert home care in Portchester. Get in touch to find out how we can help you or your loved ones.
Living with dementia can make familiar surroundings incredibly important for maintaining a sense of security and wellbeing. Our home-based care means your loved one can stay in their own space, surrounded by memories and personal belongings that help anchor them during confusing times. We understand that routine provides comfort for people with dementia, which is why our Care Professionals work to maintain consistent schedules while gently supporting daily activities that might become challenging. Our City & Guilds Assured Dementia Training equips our team to adapt their approach as needs change, whether that’s providing gentle prompts during early stages or offering more comprehensive support as the condition progresses.
Whatever your situation, Home Instead can provide quality care to enable your loved one to stay where they belong: at home. Share your details here and one of our friendly advisors will reach out to answer your questions.

Our support extends beyond the home, helping clients stay connected to the Portchester community they know and love. For many of our clients living with dementia, our Care Professionals arrange visits to local spots like Port Solent for a waterside stroll or Portchester Castle, where historical surroundings often spark meaningful conversations and memories. We regularly accompany clients to the Portchester Community Centre, where they can participate in gentle exercise classes or arts and crafts sessions specifically designed to be dementia-friendly. Many of our clients particularly enjoy trips to local cafés like The Cormorant or The Castle Tea Rooms where our Care Professionals support them to maintain social connections.
In Portchester, our team is led by Rainbow, a compassionate and experienced operations manager who ensures every family receives thoughtful, personalised care. Her leadership brings consistency, warmth, and professionalism to everything we do. Our Managing Director, Paul Fray, has a deep personal connection to our mission, his father-in-law received care from Home Instead for five years, and that experience inspires his dedication to maintaining our high standards. This dedication carries through into the community connections we've built to support clients beyond their homes. We host two popular memory cafés each month, one in Wickham and another in Lee-on-Solent, featuring seasonal activities like our recent William Wordsworth birthday celebrations and Easter-themed gatherings. Our monthly Singing to Remember sessions bring joy through familiar tunes from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, creating moments of connection even when words sometimes fail. We recently raised £625 participating in Dementia UK's March walking challenge.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
