What is dementia home care?
Dementia home care provides specialist support for individuals with dementia, allowing them to remain in the comfort of their own home rather than moving into a care home or hospital.
This type of home care allows bespoke support to be provided in a familiar environment, which can help reduce stress for the individual and their family and enable them to maintain current routines and hobbies.

Dementia home care focuses on giving the individual the support and care they need to continue living safely at home and manage the challenges and symptoms of dementia.

The daily duties of a specialist dementia healthcare professional may include:
- Providing personal care

What other home care options are available?
In addition to dementia home care, we also match people to home carers, home nurses and live-in care agencies.
Learn more about these home care options below.
Home carers
A home carer or private carer is a healthcare professional who delivers bespoke care and support to an individual in their own home. The role of a home carer is to regularly visit the individual’s home and provide tailored support that meets their exact needs, whether to manage a condition, provide general assistance, or offer companionship.
Home nurses
A home nurse, also called a private nurse or home care nurse, delivers nursing care to an individual who chooses to remain at home. Home nurses provide clinically-led care to support the individual’s condition or requirements. In some cases, a home nurse and home carer may be required to manage the person’s care and provide specialist clinical supervision.
Live-in care
Live-in care offers the perfect 24/7 support arrangement. A live-in carer will move into the person’s home to manage their care, help them maintain their independence, lifestyle, and hobbies, and ensure they can remain safe at home. Live-in care is suitable for someone who requires day and night assistance to monitor their medical and health condition and personal needs at home.

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 challenges of a dementia diagnosis.

2. What is the difference between dementia home care and a dementia care home?
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.
