My Husband Has Dementia, What Help Can I Get?

Establishing Dementia Care at Home

As one of the UK's Home Care provider, Right at Home Solent have an excellent team of 90+ CareGivers, covering Fareham, Gosport, Southampton & New Forest East, and providing premium Homecare. We have always offered Dementia Care, however, the The Dementia Support Programme is completely different to the hourly care that those clients are already receiving. The need for specialist Dementia care has never been greater; and we are proud to support our clients with Dementia stay in the comfort of their own homes for as long as it is possible. We understand for families and loved ones, a Dementia diagnosis is a-lot to take on, and caring for them, depending on the progression of their Dementia, can be hard also. 

Our DSP Case Study

he Dementia Support Programme is a specialised programme of Home Care that we started offering in 2022. We have initially offered the programme to our internal clients to get it going and the progress we have seen so far, has been amazing; it's exceeded all expectations.

H.B. now regularly goes out with the company and support of her Dementia Specialist, Shirley, one of their favourite places to visit is the local Garden Centre. Prior to starting her time with Shirley, our Registered Manager, Amanda, went and met H.B. and assessed her and her Dementia, and from there, that's how we created her personalised,
