Here at Home Instead, we offer specialised dementia care in Dollis Hill tailored to each individual’s unique journey. Our approach to supporting those living with dementia in the local community emphasises dignity, independence and familiar surroundings. We understand that no two people experience dementia the same way, which is why our Care Professionals receive City & Guilds-Assured Dementia Training; the only home care provider to offer this gold standard qualification. Our ‘No Uniform’ policy helps create a more relaxed, friendly atmosphere rather than a clinical one. We believe in the ‘Mum & Dad’ test, providing the same level of care we would want for our own parents.

Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
Living with dementia brings unique challenges, but remaining in the comfort of home can make an enormous difference to wellbeing. The familiar surroundings of Dollis Hill, the personal items, photographs and daily routines, provide essential anchors that support memory and reduce anxiety. Our Care Professionals understand how to create environments that minimise confusion while maximising independence, adapting their approach as needs change over time. We focus on the person, not just their condition, taking time to learn about their life history, preferences and interests so we can provide care that resonates with who they are.

I am really pleased with Home Instead and how they look after my aunt and uncle. Professional, friendly, easy to communicate with and flexible. The online portal is extremely useful and allows me to monitor the progress of care provision in real time.
I highly recommend Home Instead Wembley for your peace of mind when looking after your loved ones.
Andrew
I found the whole experience a dream. All staff we met were very professional.
The carer mum had was kind and helpful, mum really liked her (this was mum’s first experience of non family carers). I felt extremely comfortable leaving mum in their care.
Sandra
This was my first time looking for care for my Dad and the team at Home Instead have made the process so much easier than I would have expected. All the carers involved with caring for my father are kind, friendly and diligent in the care they’re providing. The team in the office have also been fantastic and helped me out when I needed extra care provided at extremely short notice. I can’t recommend them enough.
Michael
My Mum has been receiving care for several months now. The Carers are extremely reliable, very friendly, always taking the time to make sure Mum is ok. All the Carers have taken the time to get to know Mum and are becoming good friends. Carers are very happy to do whatever Mum needs, happy to make a light meal, cleaning, watering plants. Communication with the office is very good with no request being too much trouble. The office always keeps me informed and are happy to accommodate any changes to routine due to hospital appointments etc. The relationship between the Carers, Mum and the office is very quickly becoming indespensible.

I have been using Home Instead (Wembley) since October 2019 to care for my mum, who is now in the latter stages of dementia. Their level of care and service is excellent. They are very responsive to my mum’s needs as her condition has deteriorated. I would hate to think how we could have coped during lockdown without Home Instead. It is extremely reassuring to know that I can depend on the carers to tend to my mum’s needs on a daily basis. The peace of mind that this gives me cannot be underestimated. Their online portal is really useful as it allows me to keep updated on how Mum is doing on a daily basis. The admin staff are all very friendly and manage Mum’s prescriptions for her medications. Overall, I would happily recommend Home Instead for care.
Paul
Good old fashioned service that meets all of our requirements, this is how I would describe what I’ve seen from Home Instead (Wembley). In February they have assisted my Mum in settling back into her home after a three month stay away in a care home whilst improving her mobility. The service manager, with over 40 years of experience and her team are all focused on delivering Mum what she requires on that day, not just ticking boxes but actually caring for her needs whether this is a cleaning or feeding task or simply pouring Mum her favourite tipple just how she likes it.
I cannot express enough just how happy and safe I feel for my Mum knowing that she is under their care.
Thank all of you at Home Instead (Wembley) you’re first class.
Mark
We have just started to use Home Instead (Wembley) to care for my parents and so far we have had an excellent experience. The care manager who visited us for the initial assessment was warm and caring and extremely knowledgeable – she put us all at ease and made us feel very confident in going ahead with the care. The carer who visits is also great – my mother finds her to be kind and thoughtful, she always thinks of extra things she can do to help, and she is lovely company too. All of the admin side has been handled efficiently too. Based on our experience so far, highly recommended.
Judith
I contacted Home Instead to provide support for my mum who is physically able but has dementia and lives with her partner.
I was concerned that my mum, who does not feel that she needs any help would not accept the care and support. This has not been the case. The carer built a relationship with my mum over a very short time. She’s shown great flexibility from taking my mum out for coffee or to have a look around the shops to cleaning and helping with personal care.
The whole process from my initial enquiry has been smooth and professional. The online visit reports are useful and reassuring. I would highly recommend Home Instead Wembley.
Jo
I can genuinely not speak highly enough of the managers and carers at the Wembley Home Instead branch. From my first contact in a system I was very unsure of I was shown compassion and understanding…this was immediately reinforced on meeting the managers who took the time to get to know my dad and me and discuss his care needs. Sensitive and kind professionalism would be my description. My dad absolutely adores (and that is no exaggeration) the carer he has been matched with, she again is beyond kind and so gentle and supportive of my dad. The notes of the time spent with my dad are so reassuring and a great feature of the service.
Lydia
During what has been a very difficult year for everyone, the team at Home Instead Wembley have delivered excellent care and companionship for both my mother and father.
Unfortunately, both had falls and broke their hips (not at the same time I hasten to add!) The care and support received was exceptional, not just the carers but backed up from the management team making sure we had care on site in every eventuality especially when my father briefly came out of hospital, Home Instead stepped up and helped us provide palliative care when it was urgently needed.
To conclude the care received has always been reliable, caring and most importantly the amazing carers have always treated my parents with dignity and compassion and consequently, my mother always looks forward to their visits. It is a great comfort to my wife and I to know that she is being looked after in such a kind and caring way and we would have no hesitation in recommending Home Instead for care.

- 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.
