A day with us
What dementia & Alzheimer’s care looks like day to day
With dementia, the surroundings do a great deal of the work, which is why staying at home, among familiar rooms, photographs, and routines, so often helps a person feel calmer and more themselves. Our care fits gently around the day rather than taking it over. A carer who is a familiar face arrives, follows the routine your relative already knows, and offers help in a way that protects their confidence: prompting rather than doing everything for them, and letting them carry on with what they still manage well. A steady, unhurried manner and a predictable rhythm to the day can ease the anxiety and confusion that often build as it wears on. Help with washing, dressing, meals, and medication happens inside ordinary moments, so it feels less like being cared for and more like a good day at home. And because the family often carries the worry as much as the person living with dementia, we keep you in the picture with a written note after every visit.

- Washing & dressingGentle prompting with washing, dressing, and grooming, helping rather than taking over.
- Meals & fluidsMeals and drinks encouraged through the day, with an eye on appetite and keeping fluids up.
- MedicationMedication given on time and recorded at every visit, so nothing is missed or given twice.
- Calm reassuranceCalm reassurance and gentle redirection when things feel confusing or unsettled.
- Company & activityCompany and familiar activity: a short walk, a favourite song, or looking through old photographs together.
- Safety at homeA quiet eye on safety at home: trip hazards, the cooker, and the front door.
- A written noteA written note after each visit, so the family can see how the day went and spot changes early.
We keep you in the picture
Dementia rarely stands still, and the hardest part for families is often not knowing whether today was a normal wobble or the start of a real change. Keeping you in the loop is therefore central to how we work. The written note after each visit records how your relative seemed, what they ate, how they slept, and anything that felt different, so patterns become visible rather than lost. We flag concerns early, whether that is new confusion in the evenings, a skipped meal, or a bit more unsteadiness on their feet, and we talk them through with you rather than leaving you to guess. If the day-to-day picture shifts, the plan can be reviewed quickly and the visits adjusted, and where it helps we can bring in our nurse-led team for more complex needs. You are never managing this alone, and there is always a familiar number to call.
The same familiar faces
With dementia, consistency is not a nicety, it is the care itself. A new face each week can be unsettling and can undo the trust that makes everything else possible, so we keep the team around your relative as small and steady as we can, employ our carers directly, and introduce anyone new in person while a familiar carer is still there. Every carer is DBS-checked and trained in dementia care, and we take time to learn the person and not just the diagnosis: their history, what soothes them, and what they would rather do for themselves. The care plan is reviewed with you regularly and adjusts as needs change, and if support needs to grow we can add visits or move toward live-in care without a stranger having to start from the beginning. Whatever a day brings, there is always someone real to call.

Your questions answered
Dementia & Alzheimer’s: common questions
What does dementia care at home cost?
Care starts from £26 an hour and the first home visit is free, with no obligation. Many families are eligible for help (from Attendance Allowance to council funding) and our funding guide walks through the options in plain English.
What if Mum says she doesn't want carers?
That is very common, and we never force the issue. We often start with short companionship visits from one carefully matched carer, so a 'visitor' becomes a friend first, and the care builds gently from there at her pace.
Are your carers actually trained in dementia?
Yes. As a CQC-regulated provider rated 'Good', our carers are trained, DBS-checked and directly employed. Dementia support is core training, not an add-on. We also keep teams small because consistency is half the care.
Can you support someone as dementia progresses?
Yes. Visits can grow from an hour a day to live-in care, and our nurse-led team can take on more complex needs when they arise, so you will not need to uproot to a new provider partway through the journey.
