Dementia Care at Home in Poole
We specialise in providing dementia care within Poole, Ferndown, and surrounding areas, helping our clients who are living with dementia, to lead a secure, comfortable life.
Your trusted partner for Dementia Care in Poole: Adapting to change
At Home Instead Poole, we recognise that adapting to living with dementia can be an emotional and stressful time for all those affected. Observing changes in your loved ones’ behaviour or concerns about their safety when alone can be distressing. Rest assured that exploring care options is a proactive step towards ensuring their wellbeing and your peace of mind.
At Home Dementia Care Options
Hourly visits for Dementia Care
Our Care Professionals can visit your home to provide personalised care for one to a few hours at a time. This option is perfect for those who appreciate companionship and wish to remain active in their community. The flexibility of visiting care allows our Care Professionals to offer regular scheduled support during critical times of the day, such as mealtimes, getting up and ready for the day or evenings.
Live-in Dementia Care
For those requiring more extensive support, live-in care is an excellent alternative to moving to residential facilities. Our Live-In Care Professional lives with you in a private room within your home, providing care which we can tailor specifically to your preferred schedule. This option benefits from one-to-one care and ensures care continuity, in a familiar environment and surroundings.

– Ensured safety and comfort at home

As the condition progresses, recognising changes in behaviour, memory, and physical health can guide the decision to seek professional care.
