Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
Living with dementia can make familiar surroundings incredibly important for maintaining a sense of security and wellbeing. Our care approach focuses on supporting clients in their own homes, where cherished memories and established routines help reduce anxiety and confusion. We understand that nutrition often becomes a challenge, so our Care Professionals take time to prepare favourite meals and ensure proper hydration throughout the day. Sleep disturbances are common with dementia, which is why we offer overnight support that adapts to your loved one’s changing sleep patterns, providing reassurance during those difficult nighttime hours when confusion may increase.
What we do to care for your loved ones
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 a unique mix of services to meet your needs.

This service was required to help my mother following a shoulder fracture. The carers were excellent, always punctual, very cheerful and helpful, and very experienced. We are very happy with the excellent service and will call on them if needed in the future.
Pamela S- Client
The quality of training provided, both online and in person is great. I particularly like the style in which clients are chosen. Our profiles are matched using our personal interests, language location etc and we are given the chance to meet the client prior to our first visit which helps build a relationship and gives us a chance to get to know the client better.

I feel supported when it comes to the managers, they help a lot where needed, if I have any issues I know where to go and who to ask. They have made me feel like part of their family. I am really happy with the way they have supported me.
Ghazala A- Care Professional
The company values and ethos is expressed through the positive outlook and inclusive culture I have seen in the many people I have met who work for Home Instead. I am extremely proud to work for Home Instead and I would recommend any client who is looking for the best person-centred care to join without delay.
Anna- Care Manager
I’ve had several care companies for my parents who have been disappointing. I asked for recommendations and was blown away by about five recommendations for Home Instead. I found they actually listened and have been so responsive and wanted to help. It’s so refreshing and I can highly recommend them enough. Thank you for caring!
Julia S- Client
Home Instead (Slough) approach was different and reassuring (matching the client with the Carer and providing consistency). They have been outstanding. My mother’s health deteriorated soon after we had engaged with Home Instead and, as her condition has worsened, the level of care has become more complex and demanding. The Carers themselves, without exception.

- 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.

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.
