Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you

Home Instead Mid Cornwall provides compassionate, fully managed dementia care for people in Padstow, Trevone, St Merryn and surrounding villages. Our goal is to help families keep their loved ones safe, happy, and supported at home. Sometimes a husband, wife or daughter simply needs a break—and that’s where we step in. Our Care Professionals help with washing, dressing, medication, and, most importantly, companionship. With the right structure, many people living with dementia can thrive at home with just a few hours of care each week. As needs increase, we can offer three or four quality hour-long visits a day—providing a real, relationship-led home Care Solution alternative to a care home.

Home Instead have been fantastic with my mum right from the start. I live some distance from my mum, who has lived on her own for more than 20 years and is very independent. They put my mum first, got to know her, and spent time talking to her. They helped Mum with what she wanted help with, and built up her trust by listening to her and working to her agenda, not theirs. As Mum’s dementia got worse she relied more upon them but they knew her likes and dislikes and spent time with her so she felt like she was valued and safe. Great communication, the online portal and daily task notes kept me informed on Mum’s state of mind, health and activities. Appropriate phone calls for urgent contact and emails when less urgent. When circumstances change e.g. stay in hospital, a deterioration in her dementia, increase in help needed, Home Instead helped me by adapting the services they provided giving me advice and the support I needed. I would recommend their services without hesitation
Home Instead absolutely came to my rescue! Recommended by a family member who is a community nurse, this wonderful organisation provided the short-term support I needed after several weeks of home nursing. My husband’s health was slowly improving but it was reassuring to have a friendly and competent carer to supervise showering and, to my delight, to carry out light household tasks such as ironing. I was able to leave the house for a short while. Right from the initial home assessment visit, the process was easy, and the staff was professional, caring and friendly. Home Instead was there in our hour of need. Highly recommended – thank you.
When we decided to look for a little care for mum we were recommended Home Instead in St. Austell. Mum was really apprehensive and didn’t really want any help and especially in her home. We had a trial run and the team came out to assess mums needs, she now looks forward to seeing the carers. They bring a bit of sunshine to mum’s days whether it is first thing in the morning or giving her tea in the evenings. The chats, caring, and assistance is second to none. Mum loves their visits. If anytime we needed to make changes to her care package due to extra needs, everything possible was done to achieve this. It is such a caring company and it helps the family with caring for mum.

Tailored Dementia Care in Padstow

When care begins, our Care Manager Claire or one of our coordinators visits to create a bespoke care plan tailored to the individual’s needs and wishes. We don’t wear uniforms, as we find they can create a barrier to building genuine, trusting relationships. Alongside health, mobility and medication needs, we take time to learn each person’s life story—their favourite meals, routines, and activities. Outings are encouraged whenever possible, helping support wellbeing, mobility, and social connection. Betty, one of our wonderful Care Professionals, takes Yvonne to the harbour for fish and chips every Friday. They’ve also enjoyed a trip to the Royal Cornwall Show—just one example of care led with heart.

Will my loved one have to give up their pet now they have been diagnosed with 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.

How can I help my loved one when they have dementia?

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:

Stir memories and allow them to reminisce about their life
Foster emotional connections with others – contact with others is vital
Encourage self-expression
Make them feel more engaged with life
Help them feel productive

Are there warning signs that I or my loved one are getting dementia?

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.

This is my loved ones first Christmas after being diagnosed with dementia, is there any advice you can give?

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.

Where did the name ‘Alzheimer’s’ come from?

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.

I have Alzheimer’s disease/my loved one has Alzheimer’s disease. Can you help me?

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.
