Dementia Care in New Milton

When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia, finding the right support can feel overwhelming. You want to ensure that they receive the kind of compassionate care that respects their individuality and enhances their quality of life. At Home Instead New Forest, we provide specialist dementia care that is rooted in kindness, experience, and understanding, tailored specifically for individuals in New Milton and surrounding communities like Barton-on-Sea and Sway.

Our team delivers truly personalised care that allows individuals to remain in their familiar surroundings, benefiting from consistent support that fosters trust, comfort, and routine.

Remaining at home can offer a profound sense of security for people living with dementia. Familiarity with surroundings, smells, sounds, and even furniture can play a powerful role in supporting memory and emotional wellbeing. Our Care Professionals are specially trained to support individuals through all stages of dementia, including Alzheimer’s, Vascular dementia, and other common types.

By assisting with daily tasks, personal hygiene, medication management, and household tasks, our care team helps ensure that everyday life feels manageable, safe, and enriching.

Services Include:

• Assistance with meal preparation, including balanced meals tailored to dietary requirements
• Help with everyday tasks and personal care
• Medication reminders and regular well-being checks using our care monitoring app
• Access to engaging activities that spark joy and stimulate memory
• Opportunities for social interaction and companionship

Whether we’re helping someone enjoy their favourite music, watch a favourite film, or simply relax in their favourite chair, every moment is about delivering quality care in a homely environment.

While our focus is always on Care at Home, we understand that other options may sometimes be more suitable. We work closely with local care homes and services in New Milton to offer a seamless transition should the need arise.
