Dementia care in Liverpool

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

Dementia home care is exactly that: care for someone living with dementia whilst they remain living in their own home. This is a particularly good option if your loved one has been fiercely independent and is slightly resistant to having any kind of extra help, because we can come to you and take everything at their pace. It also means that you don’t have to worry about them leaving their beloved home, possessions and comforts and moving into residential care; they can continue to live and be cared for where they feel safe, seeing friends and relatives whenever they wish.

When to choose dementia care at home

You may want to consider Liverpool dementia home care if your loved one needs more support than you or other family members can provide, while still living at home. Some common signs that home care could be helpful include:

• Increasing care needs – If everyday tasks such as taking medication, eating, or managing personal hygiene are becoming difficult, professional support can help your loved one stay independent while ensuring these essential activities are done safely.
• Safety concerns – When unusual behaviours emerge like wandering, home care provides continuous supervision and reduces the risk of accidents.
• Caregiver fatigue – If family members or current caregivers feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unable to manage the demands of care, professional support can offer relief while maintaining consistent, high-quality care.
• Desire to stay at home – For those who value remaining in a familiar, comfortable environment, home care allows them to receive necessary support while staying in surroundings that feel safe and reassuring.

Expert care tailored to your needs

For those at the early stages of their diagnosis, they may only be comfortable with a carer popping in a few times a week to help them with the housework, getting the shopping and making the occasional meal in a safe environment. This will allow them to build a rapport with their carers and perhaps help when they move onto the later stages of their condition, where they may need more intensive support from a live in care in Liverpool career, who will be their main carer and be on hand round the clock should they need it.

Our Liverpool team are very much about promoting independence and ensuring those that they care for who are living with dementia are always treated with respect and dignity. That’s why we don’t just support you at home, but we can also assist you to get to day centres, visiting the city for an afternoon of sightseeing and accompany you to appointments.
