Agincare has extensive experience in caring and supporting people living with dementia. Our highly- trained care teams care for you in the way that work best for you -whether that’s in your own home or one of our specialist dementia care homes.
Though there is currently no cure for dementia, however, we are committed to making sure people living with this condition live fulfilling lives as much as possible. We are here to help you.

Types of Dementia care and support
Live-In Dementia Care
Our live-in care service for people living with dementia gives you and family one-to-one care from a carefully-matched Agincare care worker in the comfort and security of your own home. We pride ourselves on the different levels of care we provide, from companionship care to more complex care to suit different and changing needs.
Home care for people living with dementia
We’ve been providing reliable, flexible and affordable dementia care at home for more than 35 years. We help people with dementia to live independently at home for as long as possible, with a professional care worker providing personal care and support, as well as helping with tasks like shopping, laundry and meal preparation.
Care homes for people living with dementia
All our care homes offer a dedicated, personal and practical approach to caring for people living with dementia. In our nursing homes we have registered nurses on duty round-the-clock who are qualified to provide the same level of care that district nurses do during their visits to our care homes.
