‘We have been so lucky to find a professional and dedicated carer and this one is now firmly in place as a trusted friend. Her daily reports as to their welfare are ever so reassuring and inform the frequency of my visits and tasks’
Neal E (Son of Client)
‘I was looking for a befriending service for my Mum and just needed 4 x 1h slots a week. When I placed the initial request I had a call back within an hour, a meeting set up for the following week and care starting almost immediately. I have been extremely impressed with the level of organisation in the office’
Saran L (Daughter of Client)
‘I am happy with the companionship my mum is getting, it is making a positive difference to her. The caregiver is great and her and Mum are getting on very well. They laugh a lot and Mum can talk about her memories from a long time ago. Mum’s cognitive decline is slowly becoming more apparent but she is happy’
F N (Daughter of Client)
‘My aunt, who is 100 plus years of age, had to go into respite care after a fall in her bungalow. Despite being of sound mind and very independent, she agreed that she needed a care package in place before she returned home. Following a number of phone calls to various care agencies we were very impressed with the response we had from ‘Home Instead’. I was particularly impressed that they visited us both in the care home and included her in the assessment of her needs. They also visited us on the day she returned to her home to do a risk assessment and introduce her to one of the carers’
Ann G (Niece of Client)
‘Got Dad a Home Instead carer to improve his quality of life. He has been getting on well with them, especially telling them old war stories and what the world looked like back then. Mind you should comply with what he likes. They are very patient and helpful’
James C (Next of Kin)
‘Your staff are loving and caring, you can sense that for them this is a labour of love. No request is too much, and the skill with which carers are paired with the client is nothing short of amazing. My father-in-law has dementia and can be quite difficult at times, but his carer has managed to bring him out of himself. We could not be more happy’
Harry S (Son-in-law of Client)

On Mondays, they spend time batch cooking meals for the week, making sure he has his favourite dishes ready and prepared, Wednesdays are for a visit to Little Valley Bakery to pick up his favourite loaf, and Fridays, she takes him to Pennard Golf Club for lunch, where he meets the friends he’s kept in touch with since school.

- Will my loved one have to give up their pet now they have been diagnosed with dementia?Discover More
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.
- How can I help my loved one when they have dementia?Discover More
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?Discover More
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.
- Are there warning signs that I or my loved one are getting dementia?Discover More
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.
- This is my loved ones first Christmas after being diagnosed with dementia, is there any advice you can give?Discover More
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.
- What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?Learn More
There are many types of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is simply one form of dementia.
- 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?
Certainly. We know how challenging it can be caring for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease, however we have years of experience in helping families cope with the situation at home. Our City & Guilds Assured dementia training programme means our Care Professionals are trained to care for people living with all the different types of dementia.
