Dementia Home Care from Trusted Professionals
Personalised Dementia Care in the Comfort of Your Own Home
Caring for someone with dementia can be a challenging and emotionally complex task. At Abbots Care, we know that each person with dementia is different, which is why we are so passionate about providing professional person-centred home care in Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Dorset. We enable people who need additional support to stay at home, comforted by familiar people, objects, and routines.
How Can In-Home Dementia Care Support Your Loved One?
Choosing the right care option for your loved one can be overwhelming. One of the main decisions to consider is care at home (home care) vs live-in care. The grid below shows some of the benefits to choosing home care with Abbots Care, versus care homes.
Benefits of Live-in Care for Dementia
Live-in care offers round-the-clock support, which is especially important for people with dementia who may wake frequently or need reassurance during the night. Having the same, carefully matched carer provides consistency, comfort, and a trusting relationship. With a carer who understands their needs and shares common interests, individuals receive not only practical support but also meaningful companionship at home.
Symptoms of Dementia and How We Help
Dementia affects everyone differently, but there are common symptoms that families may notice, such as:
- Memory loss or confusion
- Difficulty concentrating or problem-solving
- Changes in mood, behaviour, or personality
- Trouble with communication and finding words
- Disturbed sleep or restlessness at night
- Withdrawal from usual hobbies or social activities
With over 30 years of experience delivering care in the community, Abbots Care understands the challenges dementia can bring. Our care workers are specially trained to provide not just practical support, but also patience, reassurance, and meaningful companionship. Whether it’s gentle reminders during the day, reassurance at night, or encouraging independence wherever possible, we tailor our care so that each person feels safe, supported, and truly at home.
Why choose home care for dementia?
Studies have shown that people respond better to dementia care in the comfort of their own home. People who receive home care for dementia typically show lower levels of the stress, anxiety and depression that are associated with the condition.
Here are some reasons why home care can be the right type of support for people with dementia:
Familiarity. People with dementia often feel most comfortable and secure in their own homes. Home care for dementia allows them to remain in their familiar surroundings, maintaining a sense of safety and reassurance surrounded by their belongings and loved ones.
Independence. Home care can help people with dementia maintain their independence as much as possible. Care Workers can provide assistance with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating, while supporting the person with dementia to make their own decisions and live life as they choose.
Flexibility. Home care can be tailored to meet the individual needs of the person with dementia. Care Workers can provide care for as many or as few hours as needed, and this can change over time as required.
