03300 583450When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, finding the right support can feel overwhelming. How do you ensure they receive the care they need while maintaining their comfort and independence? At Home Instead Taunton, we specialise in providing dementia care at home, allowing your loved one to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving personalised, compassionate support.
What is Dementia Care at Home?
Dementia care at home involves having a professional care professional, known as a Care Pro, come to your home to provide support for your loved one. This can be in the form of hourly visits or live-in care, depending on the level of assistance needed. Whether it’s companionship, help with daily tasks, or specialised care for more advanced stages of dementia, our services are designed to adapt to your family’s needs.
Visiting Dementia Care
For those who need help throughout the day but don’t require around-the-clock support, visiting dementia care is a great option. A Care Pro can assist with tasks like meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship, providing peace of mind for you and comfort for your loved one. This flexible care can be scheduled at the times that suit your family best, whether it’s during the day, in the evenings, or at meal times.
Live-In Dementia Care
Live-in dementia care is an increasingly popular choice for families who want to avoid the stress and disruption of moving a loved one into a care facility. With live-in care, a Care Pro stays in the home, offering consistent and dedicated support while keeping your loved one in familiar surroundings. This type of care can be particularly beneficial in the later stages of dementia, where continuity and routine are essential.
The Benefits of Dementia Care at Home
Home Instead Taunton takes a person-centred approach to care, which means that every care plan is tailored specifically to your loved one’s needs. By receiving care at home, they can continue to live in an environment they know and love, while our Care Pros offer specialised support, including:
- Ensuring safety within the home
- Promoting engagement through activities
- Encouraging proper nutrition and hydration
- Providing companionship and social interaction
- Managing medications and pain relief
- Supporting daily living activities like bathing, dressing, and moving around the home
Dementia Care at Home
Home Instead Taunton are a little different to other care providers. We take the time to understand both you and the person with dementia and build a plan around your requirements.
All of our care is person-centred. This means that care is based on the needs of the individual rather than the service.
We get to know exactly what is required and carefully match a Care Pro with your loved one to ensure everyone is happy and that they get the best dementia care possible.
Knowing When It’s Time to Seek Help
Caring for a loved one with dementia is a deeply personal journey, but it can also be incredibly challenging. You may notice changes such as memory loss, confusion, or difficulty with tasks they once found simple. While these are common symptoms of dementia, they can impact each person differently, making it difficult to know when additional help is needed. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure, reaching out for professional support is an important step in ensuring your loved one’s safety and well-being.
Specialist Dementia Training for Our Care Pros
At Home Instead Taunton, we are proud to offer award-winning dementia training for all our Care Pros.

Our care manager will visit your home to assess your loved one’s specific needs and design a plan that works for your family.
