Our specialised dementia care in Saltwood is tailored to meet the unique needs of each person living with dementia. Approximately 54% of our clients are navigating various stages of dementia, and each journey is as individual as the person themselves. We pride ourselves on delivering relationship-led, person-centred care that genuinely respects the dignity and preferences of those we support. Our approach includes one-hour minimum visits, personally matched Care Professionals who don’t wear uniforms (helping clients feel more comfortable), and the security of knowing our team has received City & Guilds Assured Dementia Training – the gold standard in dementia care that sets us apart from other providers.
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.

Living with dementia often means struggling with routine daily activities that were once second nature. Our carefully trained Care Professionals offer gentle support with personal care, medication reminders, and meal preparation, all delivered with patience and understanding in the comfort and familiarity of home. We recognise that maintaining independence is crucial for wellbeing, which is why our care plans are designed to enhance abilities rather than take over tasks. The consistency of being cared for at home, surrounded by treasured memories and personal belongings, can significantly reduce anxiety and confusion that unfamiliar environments might trigger.
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.

Staying connected to the local Saltwood community is key to maintaining a sense of identity and wellbeing for those living with dementia. Our Care Professionals often accompany clients on relaxing walks through local parks, peaceful green spaces, or nearby countryside, where nature and gentle movement bring calm and stimulation. We also support visits to familiar community events such as local coffee mornings or village hall activities, adapting each outing to meet the client’s comfort and energy levels. Whether enjoying a quiet bench with a view or chatting with a friendly face, we help preserve those valuable moments of connection and joy.
We are led by Sharmila and Kishore, a well-respected local couple whose dedication to the Saltwood community is evident through their extensive volunteer work and genuine passion for older care. Our Care Manager Carina brings over 10 years of local care management experience, ensuring our service maintains the highest standards while remaining truly connected to local needs. We train all our Care Professionals in advanced dementia care techniques, empowering them to provide thoughtful, informed support that adapts as needs change. Our Folkestone office door is always open – we’re not just care providers but neighbours who understand the local community and its unique character. Working hand-in-hand with local healthcare providers ensures our dementia care seamlessly integrates with NHS services. We regularly collaborate with local GPs and memory clinics to keep informed about each client’s changing needs and to ensure consistent approaches to care. Currently, we’re developing partnerships with local community groups to enhance the range of dementia-friendly activities available to our clients throughout the area. We’re already actively involved in local dementia awareness initiatives, sharing our expertise with families and the wider community to build a more supportive Saltwood for those living with dementia.
