Get in touch Why Home Instead Dementia Care may be right for you
Living with dementia can make the familiar suddenly feel strange, which is why remaining at home with consistent support can be so beneficial. Our Care Professionals become trusted companions who understand your loved one’s routines, preferences, and the small details that make them comfortable, like knowing they take their tea with just a splash of milk or enjoy gardening in the afternoon sunshine. We adapt our care as needs change, whether that’s providing gentle reminders about medication in early stages or offering more comprehensive support with daily activities as the condition progresses. Your loved one deserves to maintain their sense of self and dignity throughout their care.

Dear Lucie,
I just wanted to thank yourself and your team for the care you provided for my mother Valerie, both Michael and I were hugely grateful for the level of care and making our mother comfortable in her final weeks.
I would like to express particular thanks to Parveen who I know was the most frequent member of your team to visit, for the care and attention she gave to Valerie.
Thank you
Sean (Son of Client)
We are so pleased with the service from moms’ carers and support from the office, always a friendly voice at end of the phone.
Lindsey W (Daughter of client)
It has been an absolute pleasure to have had Home Instead care for my mom. You are all so nice and caring to speak to in the office and the carers have been so wonderful – my mom was very fond of them all especially Sarah.
Please accept my deepest apologies for taking so long to send you all my sincere and heartfelt thanks for all you did for Alan during the last 6+ years of his life. We would not have been able to spend those years together without the excellent service your provided.
The personalities of Alan’s ladies and gentlemen helped him to accept (or tolerate!) the undignified situation he had to endure – they were caring, friendly and well trained, and supported us both.
I can’t imagine life without him, but at least I have the knowledge that he was lovingly cared for by the Home Instead team.
With my deepest thanks to you all. RM
RM (Wife of client)
Dear Lucie

Thank you to you as well for all your support.
Message from IW and Family
Lucie, I must say the team are fantastic, we couldn’t have wished for more respectful people coming in to help.
It means the world to us that he can stay in his home longer, he is much, much happier with the company and attention.
EE, daughter of Client
Tailored Dementia Care in Himley
Our clients in Himley enjoy maintaining connections with their local community, something we actively encourage as part of holistic dementia support. Our Care Professionals often accompany clients to Himley Hall and Park, where the peaceful grounds and woodland walks provide gentle sensory stimulation and trigger positive memories of times spent there over the years. We’ve found that regular visits to smaller, quieter spots like Wombourne’s independent cafés, where staff know our clients by name, create comforting routines that reduce anxiety. Many of our clients look forward to weekly outings to Kingswinford Library’s relaxed reading sessions or gentle movement classes at Himley Cricket Club.

- 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.
- I have Alzheimer’s disease/my loved one has Alzheimer’s disease. Can you help me?
