Dementia Care Built Around the Person, Not Just the Condition

Dementia Care Built Around the

Dementia care at home is specialist support designed around the individual's needs, personality, and daily routine of the person living with dementia. Dementia care at home covers personal care, medication management, meal preparation, companionship, cognitive stimulation, behavioural support, and night-time care. It is suitable for people at every stage of dementia, from early-stage Alzheimer's disease through to late-stage complex dementia requiring full personal care and continuous support.

HTR Care has been providing specialist dementia care across London since 2017, working from Belmont House, Belmont Road, Uxbridge UB8 1HE. All dementia care arrangements are overseen by our Registered Manager, Rajen Jussun, a qualified Registered Nurse in Mental Health and Learning Disability with over 30 years of clinical experience. HTR Care is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and rated Good across all 5 inspection domains.

What is Dementia Care at Home?

Dementia care at home is a specialist form of home care for people living with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or other forms of cognitive decline, requiring carers trained in how dementia affects memory, behaviour, communication, and daily functioning. With an estimated 982,000 people in the UK living with dementia in 2024, and this figure projected to exceed 1.6 million by 2050, dementia is the most significant long-term care challenge facing London families over the next 25 years.

Remaining in a familiar home environment is clinically proven to reduce confusion and anxiety in people with dementia, with the CQC confirming that engaging in familiar daily routines enhances cognitive function and emotional wellbeing. Professional dementia care at home preserves this advantage while providing specialist support for the person living with dementia, and reduces the burden on the estimated 540,000 unpaid family carers of people with dementia in England.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dementia Care

Dementia care at home includes personal care, medication management, meal preparation, companionship, cognitive stimulation, behavioural support, and night-time care. Every element is adapted to the individual's type and stage of dementia, built around their life history, preferences, and daily routine rather than a standard care template.
For many people with dementia, care at home offers significant clinical and personal advantages. Remaining in a familiar environment reduces confusion and anxiety and helps maintain daily routines. A care home may be more appropriate when needs become highly complex or require continuous nursing supervision that cannot be safely provided at home.
It is often best to arrange dementia care before daily tasks become unsafe or behavioural challenges become difficult to manage alone. Early support helps establish routine, stability, and trust. Many families start care when memory loss worsens, behavioural changes increase, or the family carer begins to feel overwhelmed.
It is common for people with dementia to resist support, especially in early stages. Starting with companionship visits often builds familiarity and trust before personal care is introduced. A gradual approach, with a well-matched carer introduced calmly, usually leads to better acceptance and less distress over time.
Sundowning refers to increased confusion, anxiety, or agitation in the late afternoon or evening, common in people with dementia. It is linked to fatigue, reduced light, and changes in routine. Management includes structured early evening routines, calm environments, consistent reassurance from a familiar carer, and appropriate lighting adjustments in the home.
Yes, in some cases. If the person's primary care need is a health need, they may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding, which can fully cover the cost of dementia care at home. Other options include local authority funding, Attendance Allowance, and Direct Payments. HTR Care helps families understand all available routes.
HTR Care supports all major types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, mixed dementia, and young-onset dementia. Care is adapted to the person's specific diagnosis, current symptoms, and stage of progression at every review.
