Visiting Dementia Care
Visiting dementia care is where a Care Pro will come to your home to provide hourly care. Many of our clients enjoy the companionship of their Care Pro and take part in activities in the community.
Visiting care allows for a Care Pro to provide support and assistance when it’s needed most. Whether that be at meal times or throughout the day.
All of our dementia care options are tailored to each client’s individual needs.

Knowing When to Get Help
Dementia has far-reaching effects. It will also impact the families of those with the condition. As dementia progresses, you may notice all sorts of changes in your loved one’s behaviour.
Things such as memory loss, changes in actions, decline in social activities, problems with nutrition & hydration, and keeping healthy. Although these are common symptoms, dementia affects everyone differently and being a full-time Care Professional can sometimes be very challenging for a friend or family member.
We understand that finding the right care for your loved one can become quite an overwhelming experience; that’s why we’re here to help.
Dementia Care at Home
Home Instead Central Hampshire are a little different to other care providers. We take the time to understand both you and the person with dementia and build a plan around your requirements.
All of our care is person-centred. This means that care is based on the needs of the individual rather than the service.
We get to know exactly what is required and carefully match a Care Pro with your loved one to ensure everyone is happy and that they get the best dementia care possible.
Our Care Pros Undergo Specialist Dementia Training
Home Instead has created a unique dementia training programme that is accredited by City & Guilds.
Our award winning training equips our Care Professionals with knowledge, methodologies, and tactics. They learn how to give people living with dementia the best quality of care. It also teaches them the best solutions and when to seek out further advice.
Having a Care Pro is like having a true companion; someone you can completely trust that will go above and beyond. Someone who will help your loved one communicate better, increase their confidence, keep active and stay safe and shielded in their own home.
All Care Pros will have had essential DBS checks (Disclosure and Barring Service).
