What is dementia home care?
Dementia home care is a compassionate and personalised care arrangement that allows individuals living with dementia to receive specialist support in the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
Rather than moving into a care home or hospital, this approach enables people to stay close to loved ones, cherished routines, and the environment they know best.
At home, individuals with dementia can benefit from tailored care that’s designed around their unique needs, preferences, and stage of their condition. This can include help with personal care, medication, mobility, and daily activities, as well as emotional support and companionship.
Remaining in a familiar setting can ease anxiety, reduce confusion, and help maintain a sense of independence. It also allows families to stay closely involved in their loved one’s care, offering comfort and continuity during what can be a challenging time.
Whether your loved one is in the early stages of dementia or requires more advanced support, dementia home care offers a gentle, reassuring way to receive the care they need; while continuing to live life in the place they feel most at ease.
What can I expect from dementia home care?
Depending on the type and severity of dementia, support may be provided by trained dementia carers or specialist dementia nurses. These professionals work closely with families to ensure the care plan evolves as needs change, offering both practical help and emotional reassurance.
Specialist dementia carers and nurses offer a wide range of support to help individuals live safely at home, including:
- Personal Care – Gentle assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and personal hygiene, always delivered with dignity and respect.
- Housework and cleaning – Help with everyday tasks like tidying, laundry, and keeping the home safe and comfortable.
- Mobility support – Assistance with moving around the home, using mobility aids, and preventing falls.
- Friendly companionship – Meaningful conversation, emotional support, and activities that stimulate memory and reduce isolation.
- Meal preparation – Cooking nutritious meals that suit dietary needs and encourage healthy eating habits.
- Monitoring and oversight – Observing changes in behaviour or health, documenting updates, and coordinating with healthcare professionals when needed.
This kind of care not only supports the individual but also brings peace of mind to families, knowing their loved one is receiving compassionate, expert care where they feel most at ease.

Home carers
A home carer, sometimes called a private carer, is a kind and dedicated professional who provides personalised care and support to individuals in the comfort of their own home. Rather than moving into a care home, many people choose to stay in familiar surroundings and a home carer helps make that possible. They visit regularly, offering tailored support that fits your lifestyle, routines, and health needs as well as companionship.
Home nurses
A home nurse, also known as a private nurse or home care nurse, is a qualified healthcare professional who provides expert medical care in the comfort of your own home. This type of care is ideal for individuals who prefer to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving the clinical support they need to manage a health condition or recover from surgery. Their goal is to help you live safely and comfortably at home, while maintaining your independence and routines.
Live-in care
Live-in care is a comforting and flexible care arrangement that allows you or your loved one to receive 24/7 personalised support without leaving the familiarity of home. A professional carer moves into the home and becomes a consistent, reassuring presence, offering tailored care that fits your daily routines, health needs, and personal preferences. Whether it’s help with personal care, mobility, medication, or simply companionship, live-in care is designed to help you live life on your own terms.

FAQs about dementia home care
For more information about dementia home care, please refer to our FAQs below.
1. What are the benefits of receiving dementia care at home?
Dementia home care supports people living with dementia to receive care in the comfort of their own home. Home care can provide a supportive and holistic environment for the individual, helping them manage their condition and the emotional and physical challenges of a dementia diagnosis.
Dementia care at home can offer many benefits, which include:
- Providing care in a familiar environment
- Seeing family and loved ones regularly
- Receiving specialist care and support from a dementia nurse or carer
- Maintaining lifestyle and hobbies
- Offering general companionship
2. What is the difference between dementia home care and a dementia care home?
Dementia home care and dementia care homes both provide compassionate, tailored support for people living with the condition. Deciding which choice is right for you really comes down to the level of care needed, personal preferences, and what will help maintain your current lifestyle.
Below we’ve covered what both care settings involve and how they differentiate from each other.
Dementia home care is an arrangement where care is delivered to a person diagnosed with dementia who wishes to remain at home. Receiving care at home offers a consistent and familiar arrangement for the individual during an emotional and challenging time. This allows them to maintain their lifestyle, spend time with family and friends, and gives them more autonomy in managing their care.
A dementia care home is a type of care home that specialises in the delivery of dementia care. Dementia care homes can provide 24/7 support with on-site healthcare professionals who assist the residents in managing the different stages of dementia and enable them to remain active and socialise in a safe environment.
Both options can deliver the care you need but each are different and we’re here to help you explore what feels right for you or your loved one.
Our experienced and friendly team will help guide you toward a care solution that truly fits your needs. If you’d like a helping hand as you navigate this important decision, simply get in touch by visiting our contact page, or by completing the short form above.
3. How much does dementia home care cost?
The cost of dementia home care can be determined by the type of arrangement you’re looking for and your individual circumstances.
Key factors that can contribute to the cost of dementia home care include:
- The location of your home
- The type of dementia care you need – a dementia nurse or dementia carer
- The home carer agency or provider you choose
