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.

Every care plan starts with the detail. We learn how someone likes their morning to go, what they prefer to eat, how they take care of themselves and where they might welcome a hand. Practical support covers meal preparation, personal care and light housekeeping, all following the patterns a person is used to. For someone who's always enjoyed being outdoors, a Care Professional might accompany them on a walk through St Andrews Botanic Garden or along West Sands Beach to take in the sea air. If a client has a long-standing interest in music or art, we'll include activities that connect to those interests, whether that's listening to favourite records at home or joining the Haydays group at St Andrews Town Hall. Medication prompts are part of the daily routine, keeping schedules on track and liaising with local pharmacies or GPs when needed. We're regulated by the Care Inspectorate, and our Care Professionals complete specialist dementia training to ensure they're well-prepared for day-to-day support.
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 Care Professionals use clear, simple language and gentle prompts when speaking with someone living with dementia. They're patient and calm, and they know when to give someone a bit more time to respond. If a person's mood shifts or they become confused, our team responds without adding to any distress. The same Care Professionals visit regularly, so clients see faces they recognise. We match people on personality and shared interests, not just availability. A client who loves golf could be paired with someone who can chat about the Old Course with genuine enthusiasm. A Care Professional who knows the walk past St Andrews Cathedral, or which café a client has visited for years, can support outings that feel natural and unhurried. Our training programme is City & Guilds-assured, giving Care Professionals specific techniques for supporting people through the different stages of dementia.
We're ready to help you make an informed, confident choice for your loved one, with bespoke and easily-adapted packages designed around their needs.
When your loved one begins to need more frequent support, our flexible home care solutions help them stay safe and independent at home. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we personalise your experience with responsive, attentive, and genuinely compassionate care, so you can feel reassured they are in capable hands.
We understand how overwhelming it can be to leave your loved one if they live with a condition like dementia, arthritis, or diabetes. Our highly experienced Care Professionals are matched based on their specialist knowledge and expertise, so you can feel content knowing your loved one's health conditions are carefully monitored and managed.
We are proud to be the benchmark for exceptional care, so all of our qualified Care Professionals receive training that goes above and beyond the industry standard. When it comes to complex health conditions, you can rest assured that your loved one's safety and wellbeing is always a top priority.
Our live-in care provides round-the-clock support and offers a welcome alternative to residential care, empowering your loved one to remain independent in the environment they know. With person-centred care from someone they recognise, older individuals can benefit from familiarity, friendship, and a consistent care plan.

We are available whenever you have a question, a concern or just want to talk something through. You won't have to wait until a scheduled review to get answers. We keep families informed about how their relative is doing, including any changes we've noticed in mood, appetite, sleep, or behaviour. Updates are regular and specific, so you have a clear picture of how things are going. As part of our dementia care in St Andrews, we review every care plan regularly and adjust support as needs change, whether that means increasing visit frequency or introducing new kinds of help. Planning ahead is something we'll work through with you in practical terms: what to expect at different stages, how to prepare the home, when to involve other professionals, and what options are available. We keep those conversations honest and direct, so you can make informed decisions with the full picture.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
