Support that protects what is familiar
Familiar surroundings, a familiar routine and a familiar face at the door make a real difference to how settled someone with dementia feels. Confusion is often at its worst when everything changes at once, which is why staying at home, with the same small team of carers, is so often the right answer.
Our carers are trained in dementia support and work at the pace of the person in front of them. That means gentle prompts rather than taking over, and keeping the day predictable and calm.
We support people living with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia and other forms of memory loss, at every stage from a recent diagnosis to advanced needs. We support the families around them too, because a diagnosis lands on the whole household.
What dementia care at home includes
Every care plan is different, and yours will be built at your free assessment. Typically it covers:
- Carers trained in dementia and memory loss support
- Gentle memory prompts and help with orientation through the day
- Keeping familiar routines, mealtimes and bedtimes consistent
- Support with washing, dressing and personal care, at the person's pace
- Medication prompts and monitoring
- Meal preparation and encouragement with eating and drinking
- Meaningful activity, conversation and reminiscence
- Support during confusion, agitation or distress
- Safety checks around the home to reduce risk of falls and wandering
- Regular updates and guidance for family members
Who dementia care at home helps
Someone recently diagnosed
Support that starts small, protects independence and grows only when it is needed.
Someone who needs help with the day
For when washing, dressing, meals and medication have become difficult to manage alone.
A family carer who is exhausted
Consistent, trained support so you are not doing this alone, and so you can rest.
Someone unsettled in the evenings
Late afternoon and evening visits for when confusion and restlessness are at their worst.
Families living at a distance
Reliable eyes on a parent, with regular updates from carers who know them.
How we deliver dementia care
Dignity first
We knock, we explain what we are doing, and we never rush someone through something that matters to them.
Independence protected
If someone can still do part of a task, we support that part and leave the rest to them.
Consistency of carers
We build small teams around each person, because a familiar face removes the need to explain who we are.
One care plan, reviewed often
Dementia changes. The plan changes with it, and we review rather than assume.
Families kept informed
You hear from us when something changes, not only when there is a problem.
What a typical morning visit looks like
Your carer arrives at the agreed time and gives your mum or dad a moment to recognise them before anything else happens. There is no rushing at the door.
They talk through what the morning holds, offer choices rather than instructions, and support with washing and dressing at whatever pace suits that day. Breakfast is made the way it has always been made, and medication is prompted at the usual time.
Before leaving, they tidy round, check the home is safe, note anything worth flagging, and confirm when the next visit will be. If something has changed, a family member hears about it the same day.

Common questions about dementia care at home
Will the same carer visit each time?
We build a small team around each person and schedule them consistently, because familiarity matters more in dementia care than anywhere else. Holidays and sickness happen, and we will be straight with you when they do.
How are your carers trained in dementia care?
Every carer completes dementia specific training alongside their core induction, covering communication, routine, behaviour that challenges, and supporting families.
What if my mum refuses care or does not recognise the carer?
This is common and it is not a reason to give up. Carers are trained to step back, try again, and change the approach rather than insist. We will work through it with you.
Can care increase as the dementia progresses?
Yes, and it usually does. Packages move from a single daily visit to several, then to night care or live-in care where that becomes the right answer.
Can you support us at night as well as during the day?
Yes. Many families combine daytime visits with night care, or move to live-in care so support is there whenever it is needed.
How quickly can dementia care start?
Often within a few days, and faster after a hospital discharge or a crisis. Tell us the timescale and we will be honest about what is possible.
