‘Outstanding’ dementia care for full-time support at home
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 know 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.
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 care home.
That’s where Trinity Homecare comes in, we provide homecare that is rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC. If necessary, we can provide 24 hour home care for dementia patients so we are always by your side. Trinity Homecare’s mission is to provide outstanding dementia home care services for those who wish to remain in their home.

Receiving care in your home holds many advantages over a care home
For dementia clients who are reluctant to go to a nursing home, home care offers one-to-one, personalised care. This is safer, helps the dementia patient remain around familiar memories and familiar surroundings and leads to fewer hospital admissions than that of a dementia care home.
When should someone with dementia go into a care home?
There are a range of care options available you can consider before the thought of a care home. In mild cases, daily visiting care can be the best option to provide care in your own home. Whilst in severe cases, live-in dementia care can provide a heartfelt helping hand with round-the-clock assistance.
There are also additional dementia-related conditions that a patient could suffer from, and require complex, specialist care where all options of live-in care and care homes should be considered.
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.
Here at Trinity, 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 be with someone who has the condition, creates a supportive environment for the individual to retain a sense of independence and well-being.
