As a fully-regulated provider, we take part in routine inspections from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England, and the Care Inspectorate (CI) in Scotland.

For loved ones with dementia, receiving care in the familiarity of home can make a big difference to overall health and well-being. From one-to-one support, to complete peace of mind, dementia care can benefit both loved ones and their family.
Our dementia care service is guided by in-house Consultant Admiral Nurse, Dr. Jane Pritchard, a recognised dementia expert. With her guidance, we ensure every one of our carers responds to the symptoms of dementia with empathy, dignity, and understanding.
Being cared for at home allows loved ones to maintain established routines within familiar surroundings, helping to reduce feelings of anxiety, confusion and frustration. This kind of stability allows greater independence, dignity, and well-being.
With an expert care manager, your loved one will receive a personalised care plan that aligns with their preferences, needs, and wishes. Plus, our highly-skilled carers will support them to live each day with compassion, respect, and dignity.

Support for every stage of dementia
Our dedicated carers use strategies tailored to every phase of dementia. During the early stages, we focus on cognitive stimulation and practical support, promoting independent living through active lifestyle choices and memory aids.
As needs evolve into mid stage dementia, our carers work to manage symptoms like anxiety and repetitive behaviours with compassion, adapting physical support and communication styles.
In the late stages, we prioritise dignity and quality of life through sensory engagement, safe mobility techniques, and direct guidance from our in-house clinical experts, supporting proactive medical treatment and fewer health complications.

What is dementia?
Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe the symptoms that occur when the brain is affected by certain diseases or conditions.
Each type of dementia has its own set of characteristics, and affects the brain in a different way. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, affecting between 50 and 75 per cent of those diagnosed.
Who is affected by dementia?
850,000 people in the UK
1 in 6 people over the age of 80
70% of people in care homes
42,000 people under the age of 65
25,000+ people from black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds in the UK.
Live in care at home is a cost-effective option for couples who wish to remain together, while receiving the care they need. Unlike traditional care homes, in which you would be required to have two care packages, we offer a fixed package for couples who share the same address.
That means your loved one can continue to live independently in the home they love, with their partner by their side. And you can have peace of mind knowing they are both receiving the very best care.
How can dementia care be provided at home?
24-hour care: a professional carer will move into the home to provide support and reassurance whenever it is needed.
Respite care: short-term support, from as little as two-weeks.
Complex care: specialist and nurse-led care for loved ones with dementia
End-of-life care: gentle, respectful care that follows your loved one’s wishes.
What is the cost of dementia care?
The cost of live in care for dementia patients is typically in line with, and sometimes less than, what you would pay for residential care, with the added peace of mind that comes with receiving one-to-one tailored care which isn’t possible in a care home setting.
