The caregivers for my father are exceptional. I cannot speak highly enough about the love and attention they give him and the security this gives me about how safe he is and how well he is looked after.
They have a really great camaraderie with him and give him fabulous friendship as well as looking after his needs. They treat him with respect (as he does with them) and it brings me great joy to know that he has these incredible people in his life – and our life. Thank you so much, Home Instead you have totally enriched our lives.

The team of caregivers provide an excellent service for my mum. They each bring their own qualities and skills. They are professional and efficient. Their warmth and empathy have enabled them to form a bond with my mum. Whilst carrying out their roles they engage with my mum in a truly respectful and cheerful manner.
Ms AJ
It has been a godsend to find support for my mum through Home Instead. The staff have taken time to build trust with her so she is now accepting of the extra care she needs at this point. They are kind, sensitive, funny and always professional. They also make time to check in with me so we are approaching things with consistency. I can see that we will need more input in due course and I feel confident that Home Instead will enable my mum to stay in her own home and receive the care she needs.
Ms MM
Home Instead have been nothing but incredible! They have always been the best service that I have used in my rehabilitation journey, and it’s been a right long journey
Mr NT
Home Instead has been fantastic with my mum, going above and beyond what I would have expected. She has been matched with really wonderful carers who she now thinks of as friends. Despite forgetting so much, she is always so happy to see them. They make her living at home safe and enjoyable. They let me know if she’s unwell or upset; they’ve even taken her to the GP and liaise frequently with the pharmacy to ensure she gets her tablets. She’s been out for trips to the waterpark, walks and gardening with them. On top of this, they give her delicious looking meals and gently nudge her into cleaning herself. They are truly wonderful people, and the company has provided superb service.

- 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.

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.
