Signs It Might Be Time for Dementia Support
Dementia changes day to day, and families across West London often reach a point where the support that worked before no longer feels safe or sustainable. If any of this sounds familiar, specialist dementia care is worth a proper look:
- Increasing confusion, memory loss or getting lost in familiar places
- Wandering, or anxiety and agitation that builds through the day (often known as 'sundowning')
- Family or existing carers finding it harder to keep them safe, fed and settled
If you recognise two or more of these, it is usually a sign that home life needs the extra structure and expertise that specialist dementia care provides.

Personalised Care Plan & Choose Your Own Carer
Our dementia-trained care team puts together a personalised care plan and introduces you to carers experienced in dementia support. You choose who moves in — consistency matters enormously with dementia, so we make sure it’s someone your loved one genuinely gets on with.
Care Begins
Your loved one’s carer moves in or begins visits, and care starts. Our local West London team stays closely involved, adjusting the plan as needs change.
Staying at Home vs Moving Into a Care Home
Choosing between dementia care at home and a care home is one of the hardest decisions a family can face. Here’s how the two compare:
Staying in Your Own Home
- Your loved one stays in the home and routines they know
- A dedicated, dementia-trained carer who knows them personally
- Familiar surroundings that reduce confusion and distress
- You choose who provides the care
Moving to a Care Home
- Leaving a home they may have lived in for decades
- Rotating staff, which can increase confusion and anxiety
- Set routines and shared facilities that may not suit them
- Less one-to-one time and personal attention
For many families living with dementia in West London, when they compare the two, staying at home with the right specialist support is the less disruptive, more reassuring option.

What Does Dementia Care Cost in West London?
There is no single price for dementia care — it depends on your loved one’s needs, the stage of their dementia and how many hours of support are involved. Costs typically depend on:
- Level of care needed — from companionship and prompting through to full personal and overnight care
- Hours of one-to-one attention required from a dementia-trained carer
- Any specialist training the role calls for, such as managing more advanced dementia symptoms
Most families paying for dementia care in West London fund it privately, though some may be eligible for local authority or NHS support — we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
Because every family’s situation is different, we do not publish a generic price list. Call our West London team and we’ll talk through your loved one’s needs and give you an honest, accurate quote.
