Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
Dementia care looks different for every family in Kingston, which is why we offer flexible, personalised support shaped around your loved one’s needs and preferences. Care may begin with simple domiciliary support, from friendly companionship on a walk along the Riverside Walking Trail, to a visit to Kingston Market, or help with everyday routines at home. As needs evolve, our relationship-led dementia care can adapt too, supporting cognitive stimulation, encouraging social engagement, and helping to manage changes in behaviour. We’ll work closely with you to build a tailored care plan and thoughtfully match your loved one with a care professional who understands them, so they can continue living at home, on their own terms.

They have met and indeed surpassed my expectations: their whole approach has been professional yet caring and sensitive, the whole process of assessing and providing care has been superb.

Home Instead Richmond’s care of my aunt has been absolutely fantastic on all fronts – both from the carers and from management. They have looked after my aunt’s needs as if she were one of their own family. Such reassurance is indeed priceless.

I have felt fully supported throughout the process and everyone who was involved in my mother’s care has been incredibly kind, efficient and empathetic. My mother was beautifully looked after, I cannot recommend Home Instead highly enough.

They go the extra mile when you need them to whether it is for a sudden illness, hospital stay or need to change the care plan. They really do mean it when they say they put their clients first.

Tailored Dementia Care in Kingston-Upon-Thames
For many older adults living with dementia, it’s common to withdraw from the activities they once enjoyed, often leading to social isolation. At Home Instead Richmond, we’ve seen how gentle encouragement and supportive routines can help restore confidence and bring enjoyment back into daily life. That’s why we help clients in Kingston stay involved in the local community. One of our clients, who had a lifelong love of music, stopped attending events after her diagnosis. With gentle encouragement from her care professional, she now takes part in the interactive music sessions held at Kingston Library. In this relaxed, dementia-friendly setting, she can enjoy familiar songs and connect with others through shared experiences.

- Will my loved one have to give up their pet now they have been diagnosed with dementia?Discover More
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?Discover More
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?Discover More
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.
- What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?Learn More
There are many types of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is simply one form of dementia.
- 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.
