Compassionate, Personalised Dementia Support in the Comfort of Home

For many people, home is more than a place. It is where memories live, routines feel natural and confidence can be protected. Our dementia care service is designed to support people living with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia and other forms of memory loss or cognitive decline.
Whether your loved one needs a few hours of support each week, daily visits, companionship, medication prompts, help with meals, personal care, respite for family carers or more structured ongoing support, Astar1 Care Agency can create a flexible care plan around their needs.  

Dementia Care That Helps People Stay at Home for Longer

  Dementia can affect memory, communication, mood, confidence, mobility, personal safety and daily routines. Small tasks such as preparing meals, getting dressed, taking medication, remembering appointments or keeping the home tidy can gradually become more difficult.
Our role is to provide the right level of help without taking away independence. We support each person with dignity, patience and respect, always recognising that dementia does not define who they are. 
Our dementia care at home service can help with:

  • Personal care and hygiene
  • Washing, dressing and grooming
  • Medication reminders and prompts
  • Meal preparation and hydration support
  • Light housekeeping and laundry
  • Shopping, errands and prescription collection
  • Companionship and conversation
  • Support with hobbies and meaningful activities
  • Help attending appointments
  • Mobility support around the home
  • Safety checks and reassurance visits
  • Respite care for family members
  • Support during confusion, anxiety or sundowning
  • Maintaining familiar routines

The goal is simple: to help your loved one feel safe, valued and supported while giving families peace of mind.

Why Choose Dementia Care at Home Instead of Residential Care?

For some people, residential care may eventually become the right option. However, many families prefer to explore home-based dementia care in Cambridgeshire first because it allows the person to remain in a familiar environment.
Familiar surroundings can be especially important for people living with dementia. Their own home, bedroom, photographs, furniture, garden, pets and daily routines can provide emotional comfort and reduce unnecessary distress.
Home dementia care can help your loved one:    

  • Stay close to family, neighbours and community
  • Maintain familiar routines
  • Receive one-to-one support
  • Avoid sudden disruption where possible
  • Keep more independence
  • Feel safer in a known environment
  • Continue enjoying personal preferences
  • Receive flexible care that changes over time

Unlike a care home setting, home care can be shaped around the individual. Support can begin gently, perhaps with companionship, meal support or household help, and increase gradually as needs change.

Our Approach to Dementia Care

Person-Centred Care Planning

Every person experiences dementia differently. Some people may need gentle reminders and companionship. Others may need help with personal care, nutrition, mobility, medication routines or reassurance during periods of confusion. Before care begins, we take time to understand:

  • The person’s diagnosis and current needs
  • . Their daily routine
  • Personal preferences
  • Communication style
  • Likes, dislikes and triggers
  • Family involvement
  • Health conditions
  • Mobility and safety risks
  • Meal preferences
  • Cultural, religious or lifestyle needs
  • Emergency contacts
  • Preferred visit times

This allows us to create a personalised dementia care plan that supports the whole person, not just the condition.  

Familiar Routines and Gentle Reassurance

  Routine can be very important for people living with dementia. A sudden change in environment, carer, meal pattern or daily rhythm can sometimes increase confusion or distress.
Our carers aim to support familiar routines wherever possible. This may include helping your loved one wake up at their usual time, enjoy their preferred breakfast, take medication safely, spend time in the garden, watch a favourite programme, attend a local activity or prepare for bed calmly.
We use calm communication, patience and reassurance to help reduce anxiety and support emotional wellbeing. 

Dignified Personal Care

As dementia progresses, personal care may become more difficult. Your loved one may forget to wash, change clothes, brush teeth or maintain hygiene. In some cases, they may feel embarrassed, confused or resistant to help.
Our carers provide personal care with sensitivity and dignity. We never rush. We encourage independence where possible and provide support only where needed.
