Staying home with dementia is possible, with the right support
Dementia is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. As it develops, everyday tasks become increasingly difficult and safety at home becomes a real concern for families. Many families feel they have no choice but to move their loved one into a care home.
But with the right specialist support, many people with dementia can continue to live at home for much longer. Familiar surroundings, familiar objects, and familiar faces can all help to reduce distress and maintain a sense of identity and calm.
Our dementia care service is currently in development as part of our CQC registration expansion. Register your interest and we will be in touch as soon as it is ready.
Register your interestWhy home is so important for people with dementia
Familiar environments reduce anxiety and confusion in people with dementia. Being surrounded by known objects, smells, and layouts can significantly reduce distress.
One-to-one care at home means your loved one is not competing for attention. They receive consistent, focused support from a carer who knows them personally.
Family members can remain closely involved in care decisions and daily life, which benefits both the person with dementia and the family as a whole.
What our dementia care service will include
Our service will be person-centred, specialist trained, and built to support both the person with dementia and their family.
Specialist trained carers
Carers trained specifically in dementia care, including communication techniques, managing behavioural changes, and reducing distress safely.
Consistent daily routine
A structured, predictable routine that provides security and reduces the anxiety and disorientation that come with dementia progression.
Personal care with dignity
Support with washing, dressing, and grooming delivered with patience and sensitivity, respecting your loved one’s dignity at every stage.
Medication management
Careful, consistent medication reminders and support, coordinated with your GP and any memory clinic involved in your loved one’s care.
Meaningful companionship
Spending time on activities your loved one enjoys and has always enjoyed, from music and conversation to simple walks, maintaining connection to who they are.
Home safety support
Monitoring the home environment for safety risks, supporting your loved one to move safely around the home, and responding calmly to any moments of confusion or distress.
Nutrition and meals
Preparing familiar, culturally appropriate meals and gently encouraging regular eating, which becomes increasingly important as dementia progresses.
Family and carer support
Keeping family members informed, providing regular updates, and working alongside memory clinic teams, GPs, and any other professionals involved in care.
Dementia care that understands your family, not just the condition
Dementia affects the whole family, not just the person diagnosed. We take time to understand your loved one’s history, their preferences, the foods they like, the music they enjoy, the language they feel most comfortable in, and the routines that make them feel safe.
For many families in Birmingham’s Arabic and Somali communities, having a carer who speaks the same language is not just a preference. It is essential for someone with dementia who may struggle to communicate in English as the condition progresses.
