Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
Dementia affects everyone differently, which is why our care plans are as individual as the people we support. For some, early-stage memory challenges might mean gentle reminders about medication or appointments, while others may need more comprehensive support with daily routines. Staying in familiar surroundings can significantly reduce anxiety and confusion – your home holds memories that no care facility can replicate. Our approach focuses on maintaining independence wherever possible, helping clients continue doing the things they love at their own pace, in the place they know best.
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.

Home Instead care for my brother, who is 48 and has physical and learning disabilities. They are absolutely wonderful. They mean everything to him – and me. They give him friendship, safety, routine, hygiene, independence and fun. They allow me to work and care for my own family, and communicate in the most professional and reassuring way.
M Ruben
I have used Home Instead (Sutton Coldfield) for two years and have been extremely happy with the service that they provide. All the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They really have taken good care of me and for this, I am very grateful.
P Cain
Mum is extremely happy with her carers. Mum really enjoys the carers’ company and looks forward to her visits every week. The carer understands mum and makes mum feel like a valued person, mum’s spirits are always lifted after her visits. Mum tells me how they have a sing along to the songs on the smart speaker and have a lovely time. All-round excellent service – we are so lucky to have found Home Instead.
L Bonner
We are more than satisfied with the service provided. The company is able to accommodate our needs with the same known group of carers (so appreciated by my mother) and, when we request it, are able to provide more care on a random basis.
C Townsend
Without the care provided by Dad’s regular carers, he could not remain in his own home, which is what he wants. He (and they) share fun and laughter as well as provide the care he needs. When we visit, we no longer spend our time cooking, cleaning, washing etc; we can actually spend time with Dad – this is very important to us. It also allows his family to continue to work.
A Stinchcombe
We have carers come in every morning and evening during the week to help our Dad stay in his family home. All the carers and staff and Home Instead have been most helpful and supportive to Dad. Always punctual, respectful and friendly – I certainly would recommend to anyone needing home care.
M Blakeway
We cannot fault the care for Mom. I would not hesitate to recommend Home Instead and in fact, I often do. Each of the 4 main carers are so kind, friendly and professional. I trust each of them implicitly. Nothing is too much trouble and most importantly Mom is very fond of them all too. We like that they stay for an hour after having previous agencies dash in and out. 100% recommend.
N Miles
I would highly recommend Home Instead (Sutton Coldfield). They were extremely helpful from the moment you picked up the phone. Always willing to help the care was second to none. Fabulous caring staff attended 4.5 hours a day and even slept over. They even helped me when it was decided that my aunt needed to be in a home a very difficult time but best for her. I couldn’t find any faults! Worth every penny!
B Farthing
I have been incredibly impressed with the care team and admin staff at Home Instead during the 5 years they have helped my father. As a doctor, I come across many care staff and Home Instead are the best by far. If you are looking for someone to provide the sort of care you would give your relative yourself then I couldn’t recommend Home Instead Sutton Coldfield team more.
M McNab
All the staff at Home Instead (Sutton Coldfield) are outstanding. They are polite, professional, reliable and always go above and beyond what is expected. Between them they have made it possible for Dad to be able to stay in his own home and have built a lovely relationship with us, giving me great peace of mind knowing that Dad is safe and exceptionally cared for. I cannot recommend Home Instead enough.
A Davies
The carers that visit Mom are extremely reliable, caring and consistent in the support they provide. They not only understand Mom’s needs and help her to stay safe and well, but they have also taken the time to get to know her really well so that she feels at ease with them. I highly recommend Home Instead to anyone who is looking for support at home.
A Keight
Home Instead provided 24-hour care for my mum whilst we went away for a few days. I cannot praise them enough for the quality of care all the caregivers provided. They were kind, respectful and caring and gave me total peace of mind. Nothing was too much trouble. I was able to read care notes online for added security. I will definitely be using them again. Excellent!
M Wall
The care that we have received during the last few months has been outstanding and the help most useful. They are friendly, nothing is too much trouble and they are reliable. The ladies we have make me feel secure in a crisis.

- 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.
Discover More - What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?

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.
- I have Alzheimer’s disease/my loved one has Alzheimer’s disease. Can you help me?
