What Is Dementia Care?
Dementia care is about supporting elderly people with dementia. Keeping people safe and secure in their own home in a familiar environment, with the same friendly faces. Making sure they can continue to live a comfortable and fulfilling life, maintaining their independence as much as possible.
Dementia care is especially great for people who don’t want disruption in their lives. There’s no need to move or get used to new places and faces. People with dementia particularly benefit from homecare and remaining in the familiar surroundings of their own home. Safe, comfortable and well looked after with one-to-one support.
With support from experienced carers, you can rely upon a friendly face to be there for you. You don’t need to compromise your independence.
Unlike in care homes for the elderly, you have one-to-one support from a private home carer focused on helping you enjoy life the way you want.


How does dementia care work?
Dementia care is tailored to your needs. Whether you need a few hours a day, someone to keep you company at night or a professional dementia specialist to live-in full time, all our dementia support workers have dedicated dementia training.


We help families across Greater Manchester find the best elderly dementia carer for their unique needs. All carers have had their qualifications and criminal record checked. You don’t have to worry about doing it yourself. And you can get the support you need within days.

They've all been wonderful looking after my elderly dad. He's much happier now with his carers. It's good that we have the same people coming all the time as he has dementia and the previous homecare agency sent different people all the time, which was confusing for him.
I can't visit him in Manchester at the moment because of lockdown, but I feel better that he's being well looked after and his carers are so loving. Money well spent.Mabel Davies2/06/2021 -
I loved working here. Much better than the agencies I've worked for. I had great flexibility and the pay was good. To be honest, they really look after the carers. Much better than anywhere else I worked. I'll definitely come back to work with them. Also liked that I could do homecare and live in care around all of Greater Manchester and not just one part. I sometimes did extra live in care work for a lovely elderly couple near Stockport on top of my usual home care visits.

I can't express how lovely our carer has been for mum. She'd been trapped in hospital for so long we were worried she'd never return home. I've got nothing but praise for everyone who works at Holm Care. Thank you so much. I really recommend anyone looking for private care around the Manchester / Stockport area should try them.

The first signs of dementia are subtle and can often be missed. It’s important to remember that it’s not a natural part of ageing. Memory loss doesn’t necessarily indicate the disease because on its own, it’s a common problem for the elderly.
Symptoms include
- Memory loss
- Mood swings and behavioural changes
- Confusion in familiar surroundings
- Problems with communication
- Difficulty performing everyday tasks
- Loss of interest in personal hobbies and interests
- Lack of initiative to start something or go somewhere
- Unconscious repetition when speaking
The short answer is no, but people with dementia often suffer a range of other health issues which the NHS is able to provide support with.
