Dementia care in Standish is about understanding individual journeys and providing tailored support that evolves with changing needs. Here at Home Instead Wigan, we’re proud to offer specialised dementia care that respects dignity and promotes independence for those living with this condition in our community. Our approach is refreshingly different – we don’t wear uniforms, making visits feel less clinical and more like a friend popping round. With one-hour minimum visits, personally matched Care Professionals who drive, and the reassurance of City & Guilds Assured Dementia Training, we deliver care that’s as unique as the people we support in Standish and across Wigan.
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

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 can make familiar environments incredibly important, which is why receiving care at home can be so beneficial for maintaining comfort and routine. Our Care Professionals understand that confusion and memory challenges can be distressing, so they take time to establish trusted relationships that provide stability and reassurance. We adapt our approach as the condition progresses, providing everything from gentle reminders and conversation in early stages to more comprehensive support with daily living activities later on, all within the comforting surroundings of your loved one’s own home in Standish.
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.

Keeping connected to the Standish community is vital for wellbeing when living with dementia. Our Care Professionals often accompany clients to local spots like Worthington Lake, where the peaceful water views and accessible paths provide a calming environment for gentle walks and fresh air. Our clients can enjoy visits to Standish Library for their accessible reading materials, or participation in the community events at Standish Community Centre which offer opportunities for social interaction. For those who enjoy nature, we regularly support trips to Haigh Woodland Park, where the sensory experiences of the gardens can stimulate positive memories and provide enjoyable outings that enrich daily life.
We are a passionate local team, led by Registered Manager Clare Marks, who understand the Standish community and its unique needs. Every Care Professional receives comprehensive dementia training that goes beyond basics, ensuring they understand not just what dementia is, but how it feels to live with it, using special techniques and equipment to develop genuine empathy. This genuine empathy carries through into how we support the wider Standish and Wigan community. We regularly connect with local GPs and healthcare professionals to ensure a coordinated approach to caring for our clients living with dementia. Our team maintains close relationships with local pharmacies in Standish, making medication management simpler for our clients and their families.
We adapt our services to fit your life, delivering compassionate, consistent, and attentive care, enabling you to thrive in your home and community.
