What is a dementia care home?
A dementia care home specialises in supporting people with a dementia diagnosis. Dementia care homes specifically accommodate people living with dementia who require daily support throughout the stages of the diagnosis.
Care provided to residents living in a dementia care home is designed to be person-centred to each individual. The residents will receive 24/7 care and support tailored to their personal requirements and needs.

Specialist expert guidance and compassionate support throughout your journey
Fantastic service. Our care liaison advisor was so supportive and made a real difference in helping me find a safe place for my Dad. The service is high quality and responsive.
Without CHS and our care liaison advisor, we would not know where to start looking for a care home. Our care liaison advisor made contact to see who had beds available and then made appointments for us to visit and checked in afterwards to see how the visits went. As said, just brilliant and highly recommend. Thank you.
Within 2.5 hours of my initial contact, I had been provided with details of care homes that had availability. The work carried out by your team certainly helped me in a stressful period.

FAQs about dementia care homes
For more information about dementia care homes, please refer to our FAQs below.
1. What are the benefits of a dementia care home?
Dementia care homes provide bespoke care and support to their residents. Each resident’s dementia journey is unique and requires tailored support and specialist dementia care homes are a suitable care option to choose. They offer many benefits to the residents and their families, which include:
- A safe and supportive environment
- 24/7 specialist care and support

2. What is the difference between a dementia care home and a nursing home?
Dementia care homes and nursing homes both provide 24/7 care and support to their residents.
The key difference between the two is that dementia care homes specialise in supporting people with dementia, whereas a nursing home provides nurse-led care to residents who have a medical condition and need the supervision of a nurse rather than carers.
3. How much does a dementia care home cost?
The cost of a dementia care home can be determined by several factors, which include:
- Location of the care home
- Features and elements of the care home, such as the activities provided
- The healthcare professionals providing dementia care
- The bespoke requirements and care needs of the person with dementia
Cost is an important factor for many when searching for their ideal care home. At CHS, we take all of your considerations and preferences into account when matching you with the right care home, including cost, location, type of care home, and much more.
