The support has been incredible for our whole family.
Warm, kind and reassuring from day one.
A calm, welcoming place when we needed help most.
Every visit has made a real difference to us.
Compassionate care and genuine understanding throughout.
Caring for someone with dementia can be rewarding, but it can also be tiring and emotionally demanding. You do not have to manage alone.
Our Dementia Home Visiting Service offers friendly, supportive visits at home for people living with dementia, giving unpaid carers time to rest, attend appointments, or take a short break with peace of mind.
What is the Dementia Home Visiting Service?
The Dementia Home Visiting Service provides safe, friendly social visits for people living with dementia who live at home. Visits are provided by trained volunteers and are focused on companionship and meaningful engagement.
During a visit, volunteers can offer:
- Conversation and friendly companionship
- Meaningful activities such as reminiscence, music, reading or conversation
- A calm and reassuring presence
These visits give carers the opportunity to step away for a short time, knowing their loved one is safe and supported.
Who is the service for?
- People living with dementia
- Who live at home with an unpaid carer (family member or friend)
- Where the carer would benefit from some respite or personal time
