For those living with Alzheimer’s, the familiarity of home and a consistent routine often provide the stability needed to feel safe and supported. Even a reassuring presence can make each day feel more comfortable and manageable. Over the past 30 years, we have seen how staying at home, surrounded by these everyday comforts, helps many to feel more settled and supported as their needs change.
For this reason, families are often keen to choose compassionate, knowledgeable carers who can provide specialist Alzheimer’s home care within the environment their loved one knows best. One-to-one care at home allows daily life to continue at a gentler, more familiar pace. To preserve this sense of continuity and calm, we match with carers who can remain in long-term assignments wherever possible.
Our prestigious, self-employed carers can provide both daily visiting care in Central London and private live-in Alzheimer’s care across the UK, allowing your loved one to continue living independently in the comfort of their own home for as long as possible, all while receiving the specialist support they need.
Three simple steps to receiving exemplary care
What will an Alzheimer’s trained carer do?
Many of Patricia White’s carers have specialised training and significant experience supporting those with Alzheimer’s. We carefully match each family with a carer whose skills, personality and approach align with your loved one’s needs and personality. This careful matching process helps to establish a calm, trusting relationship from the start.
Our carer’s can provide support to:
- Deliver personal care with sensitivity and respect
- Keep familiar routines steady throughout the day
- Offer gentle reminders and practical memory cues
- Safely oversee and prompt medication
- Prepare nutritious meals based on individual preferences
- Assist with personal and continence care
- Maintain light housekeeping and everyday errands
- Encourage meaningful, stimulating activities
- Offer unhurried companionship and reassurance
- Attend appointments, walks and local outings where appropriate
Families can feel confident knowing that our dedicated Client Relationship Executives arrange long-term placements wherever they can. Consistency makes a significant difference for those living with Alzheimer’s. We do everything possible to reduce the stress that accompanies welcoming a new carer at home.
The perfect carer
We only work with the very best carers the industry has to offer and ensure we match our clients with the most suitable and experienced carer we can, tailored to your individual needs. When matching carers to clients, we consider:
- The client’s needs and the carers individual experience
- Both party’s interests. Everything from pets to favourite cuisines
- Personality traits and social engagements
We pay attention to the finest of details because we know that it is the little things which can make all the difference.
Supporting independence and wellbeing
One of the greatest advantages of Alzheimer’s care at home in the UK is the ability to maintain independence. Many people feel safer and more comfortable remaining at home among their own belongings, photographs and familiar routines. Carers build close relationships and encourage activities that bring comfort, from a short walk, time in the garden, listening to music or preparing a favourite meal together.
We also understand that Alzheimer’s progresses over time. Families may begin with minimal support but later need more structure help or even full live-in care. We stay flexible alongside you, updating care plans as your loved one’s needs change. Our team is always available to discuss concerns and guide families through each stage.
Tips for caring for someone with Alzheimer’s at home
Many families provide support alongside our carers.
Small changes can make home life safer, calmer and more manageable for everyone:
- Keep daily routines consistent
- Maintain a calm, unhurried environment
- Use visual reminders for appointments and tasks
- Keep frequently used items in the same place
- Offer simple choices instead of open-ended questions
- Ensure rooms are well-lit, as this helps with perception difficulties
- Plan relaxing activities during the times your loved one feels most settled
Our carers can help family members ease the pressures of caring for loved ones, providing breaks, support, and practical guidance.
