Care at home, day care and local supports

Caring with confidence

Caring for someone living with memory difficulties or dementia can be rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming at times. You don’t have to manage it all on your own. A wide range of supports at home, in the community, and through local services can make daily life easier for both you and the person you care for.

To help you understand your options, we’ve created a short information video and a downloadable factsheet covering the practical supports available.

Understanding Care at Home, Day Care & Local Support

Our video provides a clear overview of:

• Care at Home (Home Care):
  Support with personal care, daily tasks, medication, and routines delivered by trained staff in the person’s own home.

• Day Care Services:
  Safe, stimulating environments offering meaningful activities, social connection, and time for carers to rest.

• Local Community Supports:
  Dementia‑friendly groups, carer cafés, peer support, short breaks, and other services that help you stay connected and supported.

• How to Access Support:
  Post Diagnostic support, What to expect from social work assessments, and where to start.

Our aim is to give you the information you need to make choices that feel right for you and your family.
