Living with dementia can make familiar surroundings vitally important, which is why receiving care at home can provide crucial stability and comfort. Our approach recognises that maintaining daily routines and being surrounded by cherished belongings can significantly reduce anxiety and confusion for someone experiencing memory challenges. We understand that nutrition often becomes a concern with dementia, so our Care Professionals can prepare favourite meals, encourage hydration, and make mealtimes social and enjoyable experiences again. As dementia progresses, we adjust our support accordingly; from simple companionship and medication reminders in early stages to more comprehensive personal care and overnight support when needed.
We offer two types of home care: hourly care, where we visit at set times, or live-in care, where a carer resides in the home. Both are overseen by our care management team and delivered by compassionate Care Professionals. Each care package is made up of of a unique mix services to meet your needs.

Our Care Professionals regularly accompany clients to Dementia Harborough social sessions, where engaging activities and friendly faces create a supportive atmosphere for those living with memory challenges. We often take a gentle stroll with clients through Welland Park, finding that the sensory experience of nature can be wonderfully calming and stimulating for those with dementia. Many of our clients enjoy our supported visits to Market Harborough’s market, where familiar sights and sounds can trigger positive memories and conversations. For those who prefer quieter outings, we might suggest a visit to one of the dementia-friendly cafés in town, where staff understand and accommodate the needs of people living with dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, followed by Vascular dementia and then Lewy body dementia.
When someone is diagnosed with dementia, it is often assumed that keeping their beloved pet is impossible. This is not necessarily the case. Studies have shown that pets have actually been known to increase the health of those with dementia while providing them with a friend to spend their time with. Owning a cute and cuddly companion can even be an essential part of their daily routine. Before jumping to any conclusions, it may be beneficial to review all of your options when it comes to this important decision.
An unexpected diagnosis can be frightening or difficult, and some might discover that they want their pet to remain by their side. After considering the following factors, you may find that there are other alternatives to immediately giving up a best friend.
For people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, lack of stimulation and boredom can be one of the most frustrating things. It’s important to provide activities that engage and bring pleasure to people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Stimulating activities can help keep them in high spirits and prevent them from developing depression, whilst lessening anxiety and irritability.
Activities should aim to:
If you have a relative with dementia – perhaps you are their carer – you may be aware that at some point you might find yourself dealing with aggressive behaviour from them. This is a prospect that many people fear, but there are ways to cope with such challenging behaviours.
The early stages of dementia are not always obvious, and symptoms and problems might develop slowly. To add to these difficulties, early signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia are frequently easy to dismiss as a normal sign of ageing. However, if you know what to look out for, you can keep an eye on yourself and your loved ones and identify symptoms early. This will allow you to get the medical advice early on and work out care ahead of time.
For a person with dementia, Christmas poses challenges that include disruption to a routine, confusing changes to décor and the layout of a home, and the pressure to be social over extended periods of time. When somebody’s memory or cognitive skills are deteriorating, they will find these tasks especially difficult; it is important that they are catered for in the most sensitive ways possible.
By looking at each potential challenge in turn, we have suggested some ways to manage these difficulties and have a successful Christmas without causing your loved one with dementia distress or exacerbating their confusion.
There are many types of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is simply one form of dementia.
Dr. Alois Alzheimer is credited with discovering Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Alzheimer was a well-known and popular German physician and researcher working in the early 1900s. Physicians and scientists at the time had a fascination with the human brain and were studying it to better understand how it worked.
Dr. Alzheimer met Auguste Deter, the first person who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Auguste told Dr. Alzheimer, “I have forgotten myself”. He brought her to the doctor when she started to have memory loss and delusions. Dr. Alzheimer studied her for several years, noting her decline.
Because of Dr. Alzheimer’s discovery, the disease was named after him.
Certainly. We know how challenging it can be caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease, however we have years of experience in helping families cope with the situation at home. Our City & Guilds Assured dementia training programme means our Care Professionals are trained to care for people living with all the different types of dementia.
