This approach builds trust, reduces anxiety, and enhances emotional wellbeing—especially important for those living with dementia.

We went to them on basis of personal recommendations and were so happy with the service they gave my mother in law.
They were kind and sympathetic. They get to know the individual and we had full trust in them. Home Instead’s model of home care has set the bar higher for everyone – it’s how it should be everywhere. Thank you for being there.
Martin C – Client’s relative
Home Instead is a truly first class home care provider.
They are so very kind and caring and go the extra mile to help and oblige, all with genuine care in their hearts. The peace of mind we now have in knowing that our uncle is being looked after and seeing him so happy in the company of the lovely ladies who have been allocated to look after him is just so reassuring. We cannot thank them enough.
Cindy -Client’s niece
Finding Home Instead has been one of the luckiest things we have done
You and your team have been fantastic: my sister and I cannot praise you enough for all that you have done for mum since you came on board a year and a half ago; you have been exceptionally understanding of my mother’s needs and flexible in reacting to events at short notice.
Geoffrey – Client’s son
My sister and I cannot praise you enough
I do not know how we would have coped without them. As we needed more help, it was arranged seamlessly, my sister-in-law could remain at home, safe, looked after and cared for by intelligent people who could be real companions, good for a chat, but also to sort the shopping, cooking, and all manner of things. This agency really does what it says!
Sally M – Client’s Sister in law
Professional, efficient, caring, brilliant
At a time of particular stress, the Home Instead team have provided support – helping one of my parents to get dressed and to shower but also helping with shopping, doing the ironing and even finding a hairdresser. We couldn’t be happier with the service, kindness and support we have received.
Michael S – Client’s son
Home Instead Westminster have been a God-send for our family
I want to thank you for your help over the last eighteen months. Throughout that period your calm and positive approach was always reassuring – particularly to me. The gentleness and resourcefulness of Jason and Adrian kept Dad stimulated, entertained and content. My mother greatly appreciated the “space” that their time with my father gave to her.In short we are all agreed that you provided an invaluable service to us: you helped our parents to live at home for as long as possible.
Edward – Client’s son
You provided an invaluable service to us
My mother-in-law came to live with us at Christmas. We needed help for her – to provide companionship and outings. She has dementia (early!) but is not very mobile and needs assistance. I found out about Home Instead by accident and from the first phone call and meeting they have been amazing. Empathetic, helpful and provided carer/help that is so well suited to mother-in-law. We are still shocked (in a good way) I can’t say enough good things about them.
Marcia – Daughter in law
It has totally transformed her day to day life
What a great job you did with matching Margaret with Sue. Sue is such a lovely, kind and sensitive lady, and they are a great match with Margaret.
Terezie – Westminster’s Dementia Advisor
What a great job you did with matching Margaret with Sue

You went beyond the call of duty and treated him with unbelievable patience, dignity and tolerance.We shall forever be grateful that you helped us to ensure we achieved his wish to remain home.

- 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?
There are many types of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is simply one form of dementia.
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?
