Get in touch Why Dementia Care may be right for you
Our one-hour minimum visits give us time to connect, not just carry out tasks. It’s this unhurried approach that helps build trust and allows us to truly understand the person behind the diagnosis. In the early stages, we might focus on companionship and prompting. Later, that support may grow to include personal care and medication. Through every phase, we focus on what the person can still do, helping them retain skills, confidence, and a sense of self. Family members often tell us they feel like they’ve got their loved one back, even just for a moment. That’s the power of the right support.

Cannot fault the care and consideration given to my mother. Home Instead (Stoke Newington, Leyton & Wanstead) are flexible, reliable, dependable, caring, concerned and an absolute godsend. Their care of my mum is brilliant and they often go above and beyond. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better service
Alison H - Daughter of Client
Home Instead has been excellent, staff and carers have met and surpassed our expectations. My uncle is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and lives on his own. It is very reassuring for us to know that a carer is going in each morning, administering my uncle’s medication and taking care of his various needs. Each carer has been kind, patient, reliable and shown genuine interest in my uncle. The manager whom I contacted was professional, knowledgeable and experienced.
Ann S - Client's niece
Home Instead have looked after my brother-in-law for around two years. The carers have been so kind and considerate towards him and cared for him with love and careful attention. I have got to know a number of them personally and they are all lovely. The managers have been very helpful to the family & they have helped us navigate the complexities of the care system – contacting the GP, the district nurse and other services. We are an articulate capable family but it’s been great having Home Instead on our side! We have really felt like we are in a team supporting him to live at home. They are scrupulous around the giving of medication and supporting him with dignity. We are sad that he is no longer able to live at home but very grateful to Home Instead for enabling him to do so for so long.
Lynne R (Relative of Client)
We had visualised the type of company culture and homecare support we wanted for mum- it only became a reality when we came across Home Instead.
1st class professional approach when responding to our initial enquiries. Management’s professional approach cascades down to the staff delivering the service. Management confident and open responding to our challenging questions, which provided reassurance. Worked to ensure we had a tailored package that meets our needs. The well-trained staff are value for money. ‘Goes the extra mile’ and treats mum with dignity.
Makes effort to engage Mum e.g. reading together from the Bible or biblical materials; watching TV together and discussing issues from it such as ‘who done it?’ detective shows
Tries to think of novel activities of engagement, e.g. puzzles, .. Mum describes her as a ‘good person’
Mum likes how she makes her bed. The added sweet touches from both the Owner and Care Manager bring a smile to mum’s face.
A beautiful blend of home help support and companionship.
Would definitely recommend to others.
Jay I - Client's daughter
The care that has been provided for my father over the last two years has been outstanding. The care professionals have all been extremely kind, compassionate and highly competent and have supported my father with every aspect of his care. The manager has also been brilliant and has gone above and beyond to support many aspects of my father’s complex care needs. Quite simply, Home Instead provide excellent care and I wholeheartedly recommend them.

- 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.
