Our experienced care professionals offer flexible support and memory care through live-in care, home care, and our care and nursing homes. We adapt our approach to each person’s individual routines, memory needs, and preferences to ensure comfort, understanding, and consistency.
If your needs change or become more complex, we are fully equipped to adjust the level and type of support to suit your circumstances, ensuring that you or your loved one continues to live safely and meaningfully with dignity and respect.
What is Dementia care?
Dementia care provides personalised support for people living with dementia, helping them manage memory loss, thinking difficulties, and daily living challenges. Because every person with dementia experiences the condition differently, the level and type of support required is tailored to each individual’s needs and preferences.
Our dementia care services are designed to help individuals maintain independence, confidence, wellbeing, and quality of life. Depending on your needs, support may include 24-hour live-in care for ongoing assistance, regular home care visits for daily support, or tailored care within one of our care and nursing homes.
From personal care and daily living support to emotional reassurance and companionship, we adapt our approach to ensure comfort, dignity, and consistency at every stage of life.

We provide expert dementia nursing care as part of our specialist care services, supporting clients with complex health, personal, and cognitive needs.

Before joining Agincare in April 2023, Cher worked for the DWP in disability analysis and as a Mental Function Champion. Cher oversees the clinical aspects of our live-in care service, including quality assurance, technical competency, and training.
Betty’s Story
Dementia care provides personalised support for people living with dementia, focusing on independence, connection, and quality of life.
Betty’s story
Before joining one of our dementia care homes, Betty often sat in her hallway talking to passersby, at risk of isolation and malnutrition. On arrival, she chose her room and quickly settled, making new friends and becoming more relaxed in her surroundings.
As she shared her life story, we discovered she had lost touch with her brother. Our team reconnected them, and Betty has since been introduced to her nephew, with regular visits bringing joy and connection.
Betty now enjoys community activities, visits from local children, and using the care home’s typewriter, reflecting her previous work as a secretary and office manager. Once lonely and vulnerable, thanks to our dementia and memory care services, she is now chatty, feisty, and engaged, thriving with daily interaction and support.
Costs of Dementia care
The cost of dementia care varies depending on the type of service, level of support, and complexity of individual needs. Understanding dementia support costs can help you plan and choose the right care for yourself or your loved one.
Our live‑in care for dementia starts from £1,135 per week, with transparent pricing and tailored quotes based on individual needs. Our experienced care advisors can guide you on paying for dementia care and help you explore funding options to ensure the right support is in place.

We are committed to being a frontrunner in providing excellent dementia care. Our highly-experienced staff tailor professional and compassionate care to you – whether that’s in your own home or one of care and nursing homes.
We have developed specialist dementia training: a Level 3 Diploma in the Principles of Dementia Care. This has achieved accreditation by NCFE, in conjunction with Agincare’s own training company, Training Now.
