Why care at home is a good option for somebody with dementia

Having care at home means that you continue living in comfortable and familiar surroundings, which can help to reduce anxiety and confusion as dementia progresses.

They won’t comprehensively oversee your package of care or take responsibility for any issues.

We’re not a care agency – instead we’re a private home care company who own all of our 155 branches across England and Wales. That means we don’t sell franchises, and we employ all of our carers directly. This is important because our carers and customers are protected by our insurance guarantees as well as UK labour laws.
Our home care offers excellent value for money, as it means you can benefit from things that you can’t put a price on, such as remaining in the home you love. You can check all of our home care costs on our dedicated costs and funding page.
When you’re living with dementia you can find changes of scene confusing, so being able to continue living in your own familiar home is priceless. We ensure that the same small team of visiting carers come to your home, so you have a chance to get to know them and feel comfortable, something that cannot happen in a care home. If you have a live-in carer then you’ll usually have the same carer longer-term.
