Living with dementia can bring changes for the whole family. We provide patient, respectful support at home, built around familiar routines, personal history and the things that bring comfort and meaning. We also keep in touch with family so everyone feels informed and supported.

FAQs
Questions about dementia care
How do you keep care familiar for someone living with dementia?
We take time to learn about the person: their routines, history, culture and preferences. We build this into the care plan and aim to keep the same team where possible, so support feels familiar and predictable.
Can you give our family a break from caring?
Yes. Our in-home support, such as companionship and help with daily tasks, can give family carers time to rest, attend appointments or take care of other responsibilities. Talk to us about what would help your family.
Is dementia care covered by Support at Home?
Yes, through the services in your support plan. Support at Home doesn’t list dementia care as a separate service. Instead, people living with dementia can receive services such as personal care, social support, respite and nursing, depending on their assessed needs and approved services. We can talk you through how our support fits with your Support at Home budget, or arrange private services. Learn more about Support at Home.
