Overview
What dementia care at home includes
Dementia care at home is built around the person, not the diagnosis. Carers help with personal care, meals and drinks, medication prompts in line with the care plan, and keeping the day structured and familiar — which for many people living with dementia reduces anxiety and confusion. Just as important is the time spent getting to know someone: their history, what they enjoy, what unsettles them and how they like things done. Support can be a few visits a day, overnight care, or live-in care as needs progress.
Who this is for
Who this tends to suit
- Someone recently diagnosed who wants to stay at home for as long as possible
- A person whose memory or confidence is affecting everyday tasks like meals or medication
- Families who are caring for a relative with dementia and need regular help or a break
- People whose needs are increasing and who may need overnight or live-in support
How quickly we can help
How we arrange dementia care
We start by listening — to the person and to the family. At the free assessment we talk through routines, likes and dislikes, health needs, and any behaviours or times of day that are harder. That goes into a written care plan, and we try to keep the same small group of carers visiting so the person sees familiar faces. As dementia changes over time, we review the plan with you and adjust the level of support, including moving to overnight or live-in care if that becomes the right step.

Worth knowing
As dementia progresses, many families add night-time support or move to live-in care. Family carers can also use respite care to take a break. See our costs and funding guide for help with paying for care.
