Memory & Dementia Care

Dementia care at home, with patience and a routine that holds.

For families caring for someone with memory loss or diagnosed dementia. A senior Diagnex nurse trained in dementia care brings structure to the day, makes the home safer, and gives the whole family a steady hand.

Does this sound familiar?

  • She asks the same question again and again, and everyone is getting tired.
  • He has walked out of the house alone at least once.
  • Medicines are refused, hidden, or forgotten.
  • Evenings are harder than mornings, and nobody knows why.

At each visit

What our nurse does, every time.

Dementia care is delivered by senior nurses, because experience matters more here than almost anywhere else. A standard visit runs about 75 minutes.

The same face, the same time

A consistent nurse and a consistent routine, which matters more in dementia than almost anything else.

Medicines, calmly

Given or supervised, with refusals handled gently and recorded rather than forced.

A safer home

Gas, doors, bathrooms and lighting checked for wandering and fall risks, with practical changes suggested.

Changes tracked

Sleep, appetite, confusion and behaviour recorded and shared with the neurologist or psychiatrist.

Vitals and general health

BP, sugar and other readings still matter, and are easily missed when dementia takes all the attention.

Support for the family

Practical guidance for family members and attendants on the moments that are hardest to handle alone.

Working with your doctor

Diagnosis and medicines stay with your neurologist.

Our nurse doesn't diagnose or change treatment. What we give your doctor is a clear picture of what actually happens at home between appointments — which is usually the missing piece. If a review is needed quickly, a Diagnex doctor consultation can be arranged by video or at home, and tests collected at home.

How care unfolds

What the first weeks usually look like.

An illustrative example, not a real patient.

Week one

Visits every morning at 10, so the day has an anchor. The nurse spends the first days simply becoming familiar — no checklist pushed on someone who doesn't yet know her.

Week two

Medicines settle into a routine. The nurse notices evenings are harder and suggests a simpler evening routine to the family's attendant, who tries it that week.

Week three

The pattern is written up and shared with the neurologist before the next review — including the two nights she tried to leave the flat, and what stopped it.

Plans and prices

Memory and Dementia Care is added to the visit plan that suits your situation.

Daily or alternate-day visits usually work best, because routine is part of the treatment. Delivered by senior nurses, with a Care Supervisor overseeing the plan and backup cover when your nurse is away.

Dementia care, alternate days

About 15 visits a month with a senior nurse, a doctor-informed care plan, family guidance, and a WhatsApp update after every visit. Daily visits and longer visits are priced on assessment.

Caring for someone younger?

Early-onset dementia — diagnosed before 65 — is a different situation, and it's badly served. The person may still be working or driving. The carer is usually a husband or wife rather than a child. Decisions about money, work and licences arrive alongside the diagnosis.

The nursing care is the same: routine, medicines, safety, and clear reporting to the neurologist. What changes is who we talk to and how we talk about it. If you're arranging this for a partner or sibling, say so on the free call and we'll plan it that way from the start.

Your questions

What families ask us first.

My parent doesn't accept strangers.

We keep the same nurse and start slowly. The first visits are about becoming familiar, not getting through a checklist. This is the most common worry families bring us, and it's usually the first thing that settles.

What about night-time confusion, or someone being needed all day?

The nurse guides the family and reports patterns to the doctor. Where a continuous presence is needed, we arrange a trained attendant through Diagnex Nursing and Caregiver services, with your nurse and supervisor still running the clinical side.

Will the nurse help with bathing or feeding?

No. Our Care Nurses are trained nurses and handle clinical care. Help with bathing, dressing or feeding is arranged separately through Diagnex Nursing and Caregiver services, working alongside your nurse.

Can the nurse tell us whether it's dementia?

No. Diagnosis belongs to a neurologist or psychiatrist. What our nurse can do is record what's happening at home clearly enough that the doctor can decide properly, and help you get that appointment.

What if things get worse?

They may, and we'll say so honestly rather than stretching a plan past what it can safely cover. We'll recommend more frequent visits, full-day nursing, or a different level of care, and help you arrange it.
