I would like to thank you and your carers for the support that you provided for my Dad whilst he was at home. My Dad grew very attached to all his carers and talks about them fondly and certainly misses the one to one relationship that he had with all of them. Thanks also for your regular telephone communication keeping me updated with developments.
Mrs P, Wallington
Home Instead’s reliable service and superb, understanding caregivers enabled Dad to enjoy living at home for as long as possible. The records kept and phone calls were very helpful and useful. I was able to see changes is Dad’s abilities and adjust care accordingly. Dad is now in residential care and I was delighted when Sutton Home Instead agreed to continue with supporting Dad once a week. He is very lucky!
Mrs B
Mum has gone from being doubtful and sceptical about receiving care from outside of her family, to being very happy and satisfied with your service and she really looks forward to A’s visits. Thank you very much for your care and attention to detail with regard to Mum’s needs and I really appreciated your contact to keep me informed and updated in the early stages of “the match.”
Mrs C.O. Carshalton
H was marvellous! She worked well with Mum- my husband and I were impressed with how she hit the ground running so to speak. H even had Mum at Church before I got there on Sunday and she looked lovely! Thank you so much for getting the right person for Mum. It was so comforting to know that Mum was in good hands while D was away.
Mrs S.L.
All the carers that I have met have been professional, caring, friendly and empathetic. I would highly recommend the Sutton team to anyone looking for assistance.

- 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.

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

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.

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.
