Dementia care at home, where everything is familiar
For someone living with dementia, familiar surroundings are not just a comfort. They are a source of calm, orientation, and identity. We provide consistent, specialist care in the home your loved one knows.
Why it matters
The environment is part of the care
The chair your loved one always sits in. The garden they have tended for years. The neighbour they have known for decades. For someone with dementia, these are not small things. They are anchors.
Research consistently shows that people with dementia who remain in familiar surroundings experience slower cognitive decline, fewer episodes of distress, and greater overall wellbeing than those who move into residential care. Home care builds on what is already there, the routines, the relationships, the ordinary details of a life.
We deliver dementia care that reinforces that foundation: consistent carers, familiar routines, and support that adapts as the condition changes.
Same carers, every visit
Consistency matters more in dementia care than anywhere else. We assign a small, dedicated team and protect that consistency.
Routine preserved
We fit around your loved one's existing routine. Not the other way around.
Family visibility
Real-time care notes and medication records after every visit, visible from anywhere.
How we work
Training that goes beyond the minimum
Raj, our Managing Director and Registered Care Manager, has made staff development a defining feature of how Orbis operates. Dementia care is a particular focus. Our team receives specialist training that goes well beyond mandatory requirements, including dementia simulation training that builds a genuine, felt understanding of what living with the condition is actually like.
Our carers are trained to recognise that what can look like difficult behaviour is often unmet need. They respond with patience, not procedure.
"Raj has transformed training from a compliance exercise into a genuine development journey. Through funded qualifications, specialist learning opportunities and innovative initiatives such as dementia simulation training, she has created a culture of continuous improvement."Stars of Social Care 2026 Judges, Learning & Development category
What we can help with
Dementia care is delivered through visiting care or live-in care, depending on the level of support needed. During a free assessment we talk through what is happening now and plan for how needs may change.
Personal care
Washing, dressing, and daily routines, delivered consistently and with patience.
Medication
Reminders, prompting, and administration. Particularly important where memory affects adherence.
Meal preparation
Regular, familiar meals at the times your loved one expects them.
Companionship
Meaningful time together, conversation, music, a walk outside, activities they recognise.
Safety at home
Helping your loved one move safely around the home, monitoring for risks, and flagging concerns promptly.
Night-time support
Sleeping or waking cover for people who are unsettled or at risk overnight.
Family respite
Care that gives family carers a break, knowing their loved one is in safe, consistent hands.
End of life support
Compassionate palliative care as the condition progresses, focused on comfort and dignity.
The family around the person matters too
A dementia diagnosis affects everyone close to the person who has it. Families often tell us the hardest part is not knowing, whether their loved one is safe, whether they have eaten, whether today has been good or difficult.
We use a family app that gives relatives real-time visibility of every care visit. Care notes, medication records, carer observations, updated after every visit, accessible from anywhere. You do not have to wait for a phone call to find out.
Our phone lines are monitored every day from 7am to 10pm. If you need to reach us, you can.
Getting started
Three steps to dementia care at home
Call us
Tell us about your loved one, what stage the dementia is at, what support is already in place, and what is most pressing. We will listen and help you think through the options.
Free home assessment
We visit your loved one at home to understand their routine, their preferences, and how the dementia is currently affecting their daily life. You receive a written care plan and cost breakdown before anything starts.
Care begins
We match your loved one with their dedicated carer, introduce them before care starts, and stay closely involved as the condition changes.
