Both myself and my brother are more than happy with Home Instead who seem to go above and beyond what is required. My mum seems happy with all the carers, who show love, care and compassion, and often mention on the app how she loves to sing, and the carers will sing along with her.
B B (Daughter of Client)
Always friendly and positive. On time and really caring with my mother. She looks forward to their arrival. They cover all action points, take care to detail all issues and promptly report daily activity on their app which is really useful as I live 200 miles away.
Tim M (Son of Client)
Home Instead (Northwich) began providing care for my mother in January. They matched her with a lovely care professional, and their relationship is developing well. The visits are companionship based, and the pair of them head out for coffee and lunch and run errands in the village. My mother has recently moved to the area, and the care pro has been a great help to me in sorting out the new house.
Really pleased. The team at the office are super-helpful and lovely too.
Diana S (Daughter of Client)
The present carers are great.
John M (Wife of Client)
I can’t recommend the team at Home Instead highly enough, they are fantastic. Each person, whether that’s an office member or care professional, genuinely cares about my mum. They are respectful but still manage to get difficult tasks done. They have bent over backwards to accommodate everything I’ve asked of them. My mum has gone from absolutely not wanting anyone in the house, to welcoming everyone with a smile on her face. I love the fact that they don’t just rush in and out, but actually sit down with my mum, giving her companionship. I’m convinced that her dementia is not progressing as quickly as I’d feared because she now has so much good company. Thoroughly recommend.

- 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.
Discover More - 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
- My loved one with Dementia has begun to develop aggressive behaviour, can you give me any advice?
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.
Discover More - 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.
Discover More - 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.
Discover More - What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?

Learn More - 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.
