Caring for dementia clients in their home is often an overlooked alternative when considering care options, yet it is a viable and often preferable choice for many people with dementia when compared to moving into a residential home.
That’s where Trinity comes in, with our home care rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC. We provide exceptional dementia care services for individuals who wish to remain in their own homes, fostering independence and upholding dignity throughout.
What Is Dementia Care?
A recent study showed that 85% of people would like to remain in their own homes for as long as possible if diagnosed with dementia. At Trinity Homecare, we make that possible. Most people with dementia will eventually need specialist dementia home care if they are to remain within the comfort of their own familiar surroundings.
We understand that dementia can seem like a challenging issue to face for families, but with the right professional care and support, individuals with dementia can still enjoy an active, happy and fulfilling life in their home. Our dementia care services provide assistance with daily tasks and companionship to those who need it most.
“People treasure the past and being surrounded by memories at home, means you still have a connection to the life you have had – and that’s very important.” Home care assistant – John Mackay

The Highest Standards of Dementia Care in Your Own Home
As you get older, and particularly with a diagnosis of dementia, memories become precious. Having a carer who understands the condition means you don’t need to pack up those memories into a tiny care home room; you can stay in your own home where you feel comfortable and familiar, knowing you will be supported by a trusted, understanding carer.
Our mission is to help individuals and their families live well with dementia. Caring for someone with dementia at home, with a carer who understands exactly how to support individuals with the condition, creates a supportive environment that allows the person to retain a sense of independence and well-being.
From the Trinity Homecare team, you and your loved one can expect:
- A bespoke care plan that is completely tailored to individual needs
- The perfect carer for you based on Trinity’s CareMatch system
- Carers who visit as many times a day as you wish, or live-in care on hand around the clock
- A dedicated care manager who will monitor your care and be your point of contact for any questions or concerns
- Trinity Carers who have received specialist training
- Backup support from a senior carer local to your area
- Access to 24-hour on-call support services
- Regular visits to review the care plan and ensure that you’re receiving the best quality of care
- Regular correspondence with medical professionals and nurses
An Alternative to Care Homes for Dementia Patients
For dementia clients who are reluctant to go to a nursing or residential care home, home care offers one-to-one, personalised care. This is safer, as it helps the dementia patient remain around familiar memories and surroundings, leading to fewer hospital admissions compared to a dementia care home.
A range of care options are available for you to consider before a care home. In mild cases, daily visiting care can be the best option for providing care in your own home. For severe cases, live-in dementia care can offer a compassionate and supportive presence with round-the-clock assistance.
There are also additional dementia-related conditions that a patient could suffer from, and require specialist, complex care, where all options of live-in care and care homes should be considered.

Sometimes. If someone’s needs are primarily health-related and complex, they may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), which funds care at home in full. Eligibility is based on assessed need, not diagnosis alone. Otherwise, support is usually means-tested by the local council; personal benefits (e.g., Attendance Allowance) can help with costs. Trinity can advise during your assessment.
Dementia care at home is tailored, person-centred support that helps someone live safely and well in familiar surroundings, ranging from hourly visiting care to 24-hour live-in care. It typically includes help with personal care, medication, meals, routines, meaningful activities and carer matching from an ‘Outstanding’ CQC-rated provider like Trinity.
Many clinicians reference the Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) for Alzheimer’s disease:
– No cognitive decline
– Very mild decline
– Mild decline
– Moderate decline
– Moderately severe decline
– Severe decline
– Very severe decline (requires full assistance)
Progress and presentation vary by person and dementia type; if you’re worried about changes, speak to your GP or memory clinic for a professional assessment.
If a person with dementia refuses care, don’t force it. Stay calm, step away and try again later when they’re more relaxed. Use reassurance and gentle communication to build trust, ensuring their dignity and safety at all times.
It’s a simple process with Trinity Homecare:
- Call for a no-obligation chat
- Free home assessment
- A personalised care plan
- Careful carer matching
Fast start (live-in often within 24 hours), with the ability to adjust care as needs change.
