Does a dementia diagnosis mean your loved one needs to move into a care home?

We can assure you that it doesn’t.

With the right care in place, your loved one can continue living safely and comfortably at home, in familiar surroundings.

Home Instead’s dementia specialist nurse Dr Jane Pritchard, an Admiral Nurse from , explains why home care is ideal for someone with Dementia.

“Can I still live a normal life with dementia?” is one of the most common questions we get asked following diagnosis.

And the answer is yes. With the right support around you, it is more than possible to live normally, and live well. 💚

September marks the 15th anniversary of World Alzheimer’s month.

This year’s theme is ‘The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do. A Diagnosis Matters.’

It’s a message we stand behind and resonates with many families we support.

Early diagnosis can help you and your loved one access the right support, plan for the future and make informed decisions about their care.

If you have questions about dementia or Alzheimer’s, please get in touch. We can offer guidance and point you towards the right organisations and professionals who can provide the advice you need.

You don’t have to do this alone.

☀️ Throwback to last week's heatwave! ☀️

Our incredible Care Pro, Michael, truly went above and beyond for his client, G, during the scorching weather last week.
Noticing the intense heat, Michael took it upon himself to pop some towels in the fridge, giving G a simple but effective way to stay cool and comfortable throughout the day. Small gestures like this show exactly the kind of personal, thoughtful care that sits at the heart of everything we do at Home Instead Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Wem.

Care Pros like Michael are what make our team so special, and we're incredibly grateful for the dedication they bring every single day. 💙
