Through our dementia home care services and private dementia care, we provide personalised support that focuses on promoting independence, confidence and wellbeing.
Our specialist dementia care can make a real difference to the lives of people living with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and other types.
Our experienced care professionals offer flexible home care for dementia patients, live-in care and where needed, care in our nursing homes. We adapt our approach to each person’s routines, memory needs and preferences to ensure comfort, understanding and consistency.
Specialist dementia home carers
At Agincare, our trained professionals deliver compassionate dementia care services through live-in and home care tailored to everyone. Every person receives a dementia care package that is personalised to their routines, preferences and health requirements, ensuring comfort, familiarity and consistency.
We work closely with each patient’s care team, including GPs, nurses and family members, to create a collaborative approach that supports wellbeing and safety.
Care plans are regularly reviewed and can be adjusted as needs evolve, whether that means increasing support, introducing specialist assistance, or responding to changes in health.
This personalised approach ensures that each care plan reflects the unique needs of the individual, providing reassurance for families and enabling people living with dementia to maintain independence, dignity and a meaningful quality of life.
What is dementia care?
Dementia care is specialist support designed to help people living with dementia maintain independence, wellbeing and quality of life. It includes personalised assistance with daily activities, companionship, reassurance and structured routines that reduce anxiety, confusion or agitation.
Our care services for dementia include live-in care, flexible home care or where needed in our care and nursing homes. Care workers offer one-to-one care for dementia patients, helping with tasks such as washing, dressing, eating, taking medication and staying safe at home.
By providing tailored care for dementia patients, our trained professionals enable people to continue living in familiar surroundings, close to family, friends and their community. Families also gain peace of mind knowing their loved one is supported by skilled, compassionate care workers who adjust care plans as needs change.
When is it time to arrange dementia care?
Deciding when to arrange care for dementia sufferers can be challenging. Dementia affects everyone differently. Recognising early signs that home or live-in support may be needed can help maintain independence, safety and quality of life. Professional care workers can provide personalised support in the home, helping people remain comfortable, secure and connected to their community. Our dementia care in your own home offers flexible, one-to-one assistance tailored to everyone’s needs.
Common indicators include:
- Memory loss
- Confusion
- Difficulty with daily tasks
- Mood changes
- Communication challenges
- Reduced mobility
- Wandering
- Night-time restlesness
- Poor nutrition
- Social withdrawal
Home care support for dementia
Dementia home care allows people living with dementia to receive professional support while remaining in familiar surroundings. For many, staying at home helps reduce confusion, anxiety and disruption, while maintaining routines, independence and connection to family and community.
Our dementia care is delivered through flexible visits that can range from short check-ins to several hours a day. This type of home care for dementia is particularly well suited to people in the early or mid-stages of dementia, or those who need practical support, reassurance, and monitoring rather than continuous care.
Home care visits can support daily living, medication routines, meals and wellbeing, while providing families with peace of mind. As needs change, support can increase gradually, whether that means longer visits, more frequent care, or transitioning to live-in care if required.
Dementia care visits at home
Our dementia carer is tailored to each individual’s needs and care plan. This may include:
- Support with personal care such as washing, dressing or toileting
- Meal preparation and support with eating and drinking
- Medication prompts or assistance in line with the care plan
- Companionship and reassurance with gentle reminders for memory and orientation
- Help maintaining daily routines and structure
- Light household tasks to keep the home safe and comfortable
- Support with short walks, mobility, activities and appointments
- Accompanying clients on nearby errands where needed
- Observing wellbeing and updating family or healthcare professionals

How much does dementia home or live-in care cost?
The cost of dementia care depends on the level of support required, the type of care and individual needs. Pricing is influenced by factors such as the number of care hours, complexity of care, location, and whether support is provided through home visits or live-in care.
For home care, costs start from £200 per week, offering flexible support from short daily visits to longer sessions. If 24-hour assistance is needed, live-in care may be the right solution, starting from £920 per week and rising to £1,630 per week depending on the level and complexity of care provided.
Families can use our online cost of care calculator to get an accurate estimate based on their circumstances. There are also various funding options and financial support schemes available to help manage care costs for dementia.
