Care at home

Dementia care at home, where everything is familiar.

Familiar rooms, familiar routines and familiar faces. For many people living with dementia, staying at home is the single best thing for them.

Dementia takes away certainty, so everything we do is built on putting it back. The same carers. The same times. The same order to the morning. In a home where the furniture has not moved and the photographs are on the wall where they have always been.

Our carers are trained in dementia awareness and work at the pace of the person in front of them. That means not correcting, not rushing, and not making a difficult moment into a battle.

Humble Hands Care Ltd is registered with the Care Quality Commission to support adults living with dementia, both over and under 65.

What is included

  • The same small team, so faces stay familiar
  • A routine kept steady, in the order the day has always run
  • Gentle personal care at the person's own pace
  • Medication prompted, given and recorded
  • Meals, and a careful eye on appetite and hydration
  • Company, conversation and things to do
  • Support and honest updates for the family as things change

Who it suits

We support people at every stage, from someone who is still largely independent but losing track of medication and meals, through to someone who needs a carer in the house around the clock.

Many families start with a morning call and build up over time. Others move to live-in care when nights become unsettled. Both work, and the assessment visit is where we help you decide which point you are at.

What it costs

From £25 an hour for visiting care, or £1,250 a week live-in. What moves the figure is how much time is needed and how complex the care is. Everything, including the funding you may be entitled to, is set out on what it costs.

Mum gets agitated with anyone new in the house.

That is very common, and it is why consistency matters so much. We introduce a carer gradually, at a quiet time of day, usually with a family member there. After a few visits that person is no longer new, and the agitation tends to settle.

Are your carers trained in dementia care?

Yes. Dementia awareness is part of our training programme, and we keep it current rather than treating it as a one off induction session.

Is home really better than a care home?

For many people with dementia, familiar surroundings reduce confusion and distress, and that is a strong argument for staying at home. The right answer depends on the person and on what the family can sustain, and we will talk it through openly.

What happens as the dementia progresses?

The care plan grows with it. We review regularly and adjust hours and support as things change, so you are never left arranging everything again from scratch.
