Dementia Care
Find quality Dementia Care in the comfort of your home.
What is Dementia Care?
Dementia Care is a type of support available to help you or your loved one manage the symptoms of dementia. This includes everything from medication reminders to help going to the bathroom, or simply providing a friendly face when you need it.
If your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, you may find they need extra support with daily life at home. We believe receiving Dementia Home Care helps keep some continuity as other things change.
Leaving the beloved home filled with familiarity and memories can be unsettling at the best of times but can bring added concern to a loved one living with dementia. Remaining at home surrounded by treasured things where your loved one can continue their usual routines can promote feelings of comfort and safety.
Your home. Your care. Your choice.
Why choose Dementia Care?
Home Care Workers can help guide your loved one with dementia through their symptoms to improve their quality of life. They can be a highly valuable part of your loved one’s care plan when help at home is needed.
If your loved one needs a few hours of support each week or as time passes, they need a Live-in Carer to provide continuous assistance, we can help make life easier.
All our Dementia Care Workers are trained through our Alina Homecare Academy to understand how to care for your loved one with dementia. They’re educated to notice mood and behavioural changes and can react flexibly and responsively to solve any discomfort or distress.
We focus on building a professional relationship, understanding needs, daily routines and individual preferences to design a dementia care plan that is specific to each person.
Regardless of symptoms or needs, at Alina Homecare we have the knowledge and skills to provide quality Dementia Care. All our clients are treated with compassion, respect and patience to develop confidence and trust in us. We believe people with dementia can still enjoy a happy and fulfilling life with the right professional support.

Is dementia Home Care better than a care home?
When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, deciding between a care home or home care can be challenging. You want to make sure you’re making the right decision whilst keeping their best interests at heart. Ultimately, it depends on the level of care needed to meet the needs of the individual living with dementia.
Dementia Home Care allows people to stay in their familiar environment where they often feel the most comfortable and doesn’t involve the distress and upset of moving. Change can be difficult for a lot of people, but it’s particularly challenging and disruptive for those with dementia.
If you feel your loved one would benefit from remaining in their own home but requires 24 hour support, Live-in Care is a great option. A Live-in Dementia Carer will move in with your loved one to provide round-the-clock care, whenever it is needed.
However, if the level of care is significant for your loved one with dementia, it may be safer and more appropriate to consider a care home where specialist resources and nursing care are available.
How do I find a dementia carer?
Our Carers are friendly, approachable and ready to help each client to live as independently as possible. At Alina Homecare, our Dementia Carers have received excellent training from our award-nominated Alina Homecare Academy to provide high quality and respectful care.
