Dementia Care at Home in Essex & Kent

Specialist, person-centred support to promote comfort, routine and meaningful daily living

Supporting someone living with dementia can be emotionally and practically challenging. As memory, communication and daily routines become harder to manage, many families find reassurance in knowing their loved one can remain safely in the familiarity of their own home. At Rosemont Care, we provide compassionate, tailored dementia care across Essex, Kent and the surrounding areas, enabling individuals to maintain dignity, independence and a sense of purpose at every stage of their journey.

Our highly trained Support Workers understand that every person experiences dementia differently. We take the time to learn each individual’s abilities, preferences and routines so that our care feels natural, reassuring and completely person-centred. From practical daily support to emotional companionship, we are here to help both individuals and families navigate dementia with confidence and compassion.

Dementia Symptoms

Dementia is a progressive neurological condition that affects memory, thinking, reasoning and behaviour. It can significantly impact daily life, communication and independence — not only for the person diagnosed, but also for the family providing support. Symptoms may include:

  • Memory loss that affects everyday activities

  • Confusion about time, place or familiar surroundings

  • Difficulty communicating or finding the right words

  • Challenges with decision-making or problem-solving

  • Struggling with tasks such as dressing, washing or cooking

  • Changes in mood, behaviour or personality

  • Increased anxiety, agitation or withdrawal

Early understanding and consistent support can help reduce distress, maintain independence and provide a sense of stability. Our team works closely with families to recognise changing symptoms and adapt care accordingly.

Dementia Treatment Options & Lifestyle Support

There is no cure for dementia, but the right combination of medical support, daily routines and personalised home care can significantly improve quality of life.

Our Support Workers help individuals manage their condition through:

  • Gentle daily routines that encourage familiarity and reduce confusion

  • Support with medication, hydration and nutrition

  • Memory prompts, reminders and cognitive-friendly structure

  • Emotional reassurance and companionship

  • Encouragement to stay engaged with meaningful activities

  • Communication support and calm, patient guidance

We work alongside GPs, district nurses, memory clinics and other healthcare professionals to ensure our home-based dementia support aligns with medical advice and best practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do dementia patients have to pay for care?

Most people with dementia do pay for some or all of their care, depending on personal circumstances, local authority assessments and eligibility for funding. Your local Social Services team can advise on available financial support, and our team can help guide you through the process.

How do I care for someone with dementia at home?

Creating a structured, calm environment is key. Gentle routines, clear communication, safety measures and regular reassurance can help someone living with dementia feel more settled. Many families choose professional home care to relieve pressure and ensure their loved one receives consistent, specialist support tailored to their needs.

Can a dementia patient refuse care?

Yes — individuals with dementia can refuse care, and their wishes should always be respected wherever possible. When capacity is uncertain, decisions should be approached with sensitivity, involving family members and healthcare professionals to ensure the person’s wellbeing remains the focus.
