Dementia Care

Providing high-quality, specialised care that is fully customised to your unique needs.

At Hartwig Care, we provide Person-Centred Dementia Care.

We understand that a change in routines and environment can be upsetting for someone living with dementia.

A health condition such as dementia can increase feelings such as loss of control, understanding or being able to do the things you once enjoyed independently.

Our Care Assistants have undertaken familiarisation training and will have skills to understand a person and how they are feeling, to communicate in the appropriate manner and style and will offer a sense of security to the person with the condition.

Why choose Dementia Care

Specialist Knowledge and Training

Dementia care is provided by carers specifically trained to understand the behaviours, challenges, and progression of various types of dementia. This expertise helps ensure compassionate, safe, and effective support tailored to the individual’s cognitive needs.

Consistency and Routine

Remaining at home reduces confusion and anxiety caused by unfamiliar environments. Dementia care delivered at home supports daily routines, which are essential in helping individuals feel secure and in control.

Personalised, Person-Centred Care

Every person with dementia experiences it differently. Specialist dementia care is tailored to each individual’s history, preferences, and needs, promoting dignity and engagement while slowing cognitive decline through structured activities and meaningful interaction.

Enhanced Communication and Behaviour

Trained dementia carers use proven techniques to communicate effectively and respond sensitively to mood changes, confusion, or agitation. This reduces distress and helps maintain a calm and supportive atmosphere.

Promotes Safety and Reduces Risk

A dementia care plan includes home safety checks, supervision, and routines that reduce risks such as wandering, falls, or missed medication. This ensures individuals can live at home safely for as long as possible.

Emotional Support for Families

Dementia care offers guidance and reassurance to family members who may be coping with emotional stress, uncertainty, or caregiver burnout. Carers can provide respite, advice, and practical help, improving the whole family’s well-being.

More information and FAQs

Dementia care at home is specialist support designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. A trained carer visits to provide personal care, companionship, help with daily routines, and cognitive stimulation — all within the comfort of the person’s own home.

Dementia care is delivered by carers who are specifically trained to understand and manage the unique challenges of memory loss, confusion, and behavioural changes. This specialised support helps reduce anxiety, promote safety, and maintain a structured routine that supports cognitive health.

Yes. Whether someone is in the early, mid, or late stages of dementia, we tailor the care to their current abilities and needs. This can include gentle reminders, personal care, meaningful activities, or more intensive support as the condition progresses.

We understand that consistency is especially important for people with dementia. We aim to provide the same familiar faces whenever possible, helping to build trust, reduce confusion, and create a calm and reassuring environment.

If your loved one is experiencing memory issues, changes in behaviour, or struggling with daily tasks, dementia care at home can provide compassionate, personalised support while allowing them to remain in familiar surroundings. We offer free consultations to assess needs and create a tailored care plan.

Care stories

When I was discharged from the hospital after my operation in September last year, I began receiving twice-daily care from Hartwig Care (morning and evening), and they have been wonderful for me. They help me take a shower, get dressed, make my bed, and prepare my food. They always assist with whatever I need. They make me feel happy. They are incredibly helpful, and I love them for it.

Esther O – Service User

The carers always make me laugh. If I'm feeling down, they are there to help me through it. They talk to me and lift my spirits when I'm upset. They provide the companionship that most people in my position yearn for. While I have family, it's important to have someone outside the family, and they provide that, along with washing me or making me a cup of tea, which is lovely.

Jen H – Service User

I have been with Hartwig Care for about 6-7 years. The care package I receive includes personal care, helping me change and get ready for the night. My carers also assist me with shopping. My carers are wonderful. They are caring, considerate, and make me laugh.
