Quality, Personalised Dementia Care in the South East
Dementia presents differently for every individual, so our first priority is understanding what helps each person feel grounded and confident. Whether someone lives in Maidstone, Crawley, Hastings or Guildford, our Care Professionals adapt their approach, so support feels natural rather than intrusive. This may include helping with morning patterns, preparing comforting meals, guiding gentle movement around the home or offering reassurance when the day feels overwhelming.
Activities reflect personal history and interests. Some clients enjoy visiting familiar spots such as Mote Park or Alexandra Park, while others prefer time at home listening to the radio, sorting through keepsakes or enjoying a quiet cup of tea. When confusion arises, our Care Professionals use clear, calming techniques that reduce pressure and restore ease.
All Care Professionals complete City & Guilds-assured dementia training, developing skills in recognising subtle changes in wellbeing and responding thoughtfully. Families receive ongoing contact and practical guidance to help make the home environment feel calmer, safer, and easier to manage as needs shift.
Person centred dementia care
Knowing who will arrive each day brings comfort for many people living with dementia. A small, consistent team visits regularly, helping clients feel more secure and reducing the unsettled feelings that can come with unfamiliar faces. This trust allows support to fit naturally into daily life.
Communication is built around patience, clarity and recognising how someone is feeling in the moment. When difficult emotions arise, Care Professionals take time to understand what’s happening and adjust accordingly.
Our minimum visit length is one hour, giving Care Professionals time to provide support without hurrying through tasks. This means there’s space to sit together over a cup of tea, to have proper conversations, and to respond to how someone is feeling that day.
We encourage independence wherever possible, offering assistance only where needed so clients maintain autonomy and involvement in their own routines. Small choices throughout the day help preserve confidence and familiarity.
Choosing Home Instead for personalised dementia care in the South East
Caring for a relative with dementia can be emotionally demanding, and families often need clear updates and dependable guidance. Our dementia care in the South East includes regular communication through our care app, helping families stay informed about each visit and aware of any changes in wellbeing. If adjustments to the care plan are needed, the local office team is always available to discuss options and offer reassurance.
Because Care Professionals spend meaningful time with clients, they often notice early shifts in mood or behaviour. Sharing these observations helps families understand what changes may mean and feel more confident planning ahead. We also offer advice on adapting the home to reduce confusion, promote safety and create a calmer daily environment.
Above all, we support families throughout the journey, offering steady insight, compassion and a sense of partnership during moments of uncertainty.
