Alzheimer's Care

Care costs vary depending on how much support is needed. For some people, hourly home care is more affordable and flexible than full-time residential care. We’ll explain our fees clearly, help you explore possible funding or benefits, and design a care package that fits both your needs and your budget.

The first step is a friendly, no-obligation conversation about your situation. We’ll listen to your concerns, answer questions, and, if you wish, arrange a free home visit to assess needs. Together we’ll create a personalised care plan and agree a start date, making the process as simple and reassuring as possible. Contact us today to start your care journey.

Many people with Alzheimer’s can live at home safely with the right support. That may include regular care visits, home adaptations, and clear routines. We assess risks, suggest practical changes, and provide hands-on help so your loved one can remain in familiar surroundings for as long as it’s safe to do so.

Refusals are common and often linked to embarrassment, confusion, or feeling rushed. Try offering choices, explaining each step, and keeping the bathroom warm and private. Sometimes a different person or time of day helps. Our carers provide personal care with dignity and patience, using gentle encouragement rather than pressure.

Night-time care may help if your loved one is awake, wandering, or unsettled during the night, or if you’re not getting enough sleep to cope. An overnight carer can provide reassurance, help with toileting, and respond quickly to any issues. We’ll help you decide whether waking or sleeping nights are more appropriate.

Home care gives you breathing space. We can cover regular visits, personal care, and companionship so you can rest, work, or enjoy time as a spouse or child rather than a full-time carer. We’ll keep you updated after each visit and work as part of your wider support network.

Keeping routines calm and predictable helps. Use gentle reassurance, avoid arguing about facts, limit background noise, and offer simple, soothing activities. Notice potential triggers like hunger, pain, or tiredness. Our carers are trained in alzheimers communication techniques and can show you practical ways to settle anxious moments more easily.

A home carer can help with washing, dressing, toileting, medication prompts, meals, housework, and companionship. They can also support hobbies, manage safe walks, and reassure during periods of confusion. We tailor each visit to your or your loved one’s needs and personality, adapting as conditions changes over time.

Start by making the home and garden secure, and consider simple door alarms. Regular walks with support can reduce restlessness. Keep a recent photo and emergency contacts handy. We can provide accompanied outings, routine check-in visits, and practical advice to balance your loved one’s independence with their safety.
