Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
Living with dementia brings challenges that can make daily routines feel overwhelming, but remaining in the comfort of one’s own home can provide stability and reassurance. Our Care Professionals understand how important familiar surroundings are for someone experiencing memory changes, helping to reduce anxiety and confusion that often accompany new environments. We focus on maintaining dignity and independence, adapting our support as needs evolve, from gentle reminders about medications in early stages to more comprehensive assistance with personal care as the condition progresses. Our flexible approach means care can start with just one hour a day and increase gradually as needed.

The excellent care my Mum received from all the caregivers allowed her to be in her own home for longer than we could have hoped. The sensitivity shown to her growing needs through dementia was greatly appreciated. We had real peace of mind that she was well looked after by a regular team of carers. The communication with office staff certainly made things run smoothly.
Fiona D - daughter of client in Southport
Home Instead have been an absolute Godsend to our family. All through lockdown they never let us down. Nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff in the office and on the ground are always helpful, supportive, reliable, caring and respectful. I would highly recommend their care.
Linda T - Daughter of client in Southport.
Home Instead Southport have proved invaluable over the last two and a half years. Dad always wanted to stay in the house that he moved to in 1971 – the home in which he and Mum raised the family. With the support of his lovely Caregivers, Dad managed to do this until the week before he died – aged 98. I have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead Southport.
K R - Daughter of client in Southport.
The service my father received form Home Instead Southport was life-changing. Since he started receiving a morning visit each day, his physical and mental health has markedly improved, so after two years of care, he seems two years younger. The care was reliable and tailored to what he needed, and the carers were kind, competent and fun.

- 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.
