Dementia: Helping to Spot it Sooner

Why Early Intervention Is Essential
When a loved one begins showing signs of dementia, families often feel unsure where to turn. In Wimbledon and Kingston, we’re fortunate to have access to exceptional local expertise – including Dr Burnie, a specialist dementia GP who supports many of our clients following diagnosis.
Dr Burnie’s involvement ensures families receive clear guidance, timely assessments, and ongoing medical support. Combined with Home Instead’s specialist dementia training for Care Professionals, this creates a powerful partnership that helps families navigate dementia with confidence and clarity.

Recognising the Early Signs
The earliest symptoms of dementia can be subtle:
- Difficulty making decisions
- Repeating stories
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Struggling with familiar routes
- Increased frustration or anxiety
Our Care Professionals are trained to recognise these signs and understand what they may indicate. Early identification allows families to access medical advice sooner, plan ahead, access our specialist services if needed and avoid the emotional and financial strain that often comes with late‑stage intervention.
Expert Care, Personalised Support
With the guidance of professionals like Dr Burnie and the dedication of our dementia‑trained Care Professionals, families in Wimbledon and Kingston know that they’re not facing this journey alone.
If you’re noticing changes in someone close to you, now is the time to act.
Early intervention leads to better outcomes, and we are here to help.
