More information and FAQs
Dementia care is support provided in your own home to help those with dementia live independently, safely, and comfortably. Instead of moving into a care home, trained carers visit your loved one at home to help with personal care, medication, meals, mobility, or companionship, whatever is required to help them live well day‑to‑day.
How it works:
- Families choose the support needed — the level of support required is tailored to your loved one’s unique needs.
- A personalised care plan is created based on their routines, preferences, and goals.
- Professional dedicated carer provides skilled, compassionate, one‑to‑one support.
- You’ll see the same small team, helping your loved one build trust, comfort, and confidence.
- Care requirements can change anytime, giving you flexibility as needs evolve.
Companionship care is designed to feel natural and reassuring, helping your loved one stay where they feel happiest and most confident.
Dementia care may be the right choice for your loved one if they are living with dementia and require more support day-to-day.
Our dementia care helps your loved one stay independent and safe at home with extra support with daily tasks, health needs, or companionship. Many families choose domiciliary dementia care because it offers flexible support without requiring your loved one to move into a care home.
Dementia care may be right for your loved one who is experiencing:
- Difficulties with daily tasks such as washing, dressing, preparing meals, or keeping on top of the housework.
- Mobility challenges or a higher risk of falls.
- Loneliness or isolation, and would benefit from regular companionship.
- Health conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s, or long‑term illness that require routine support.
- A recent hospital stay, and need help while recovering at home.
- Family carers who need respite, support, or a break.
Dementia care allows your loved one to stay in familiar surroundings, maintain your routines, and receive one‑to‑one support from trained carers who come to know your loved one’s preferences and needs. Support is flexible, meaning you can start with low-levels of support a week and increase or reduce help as your needs change.
If you’re unsure where to begin, Saxon Care offers a free, no‑obligation assessment to help you understand what type of support might work best.
