Dementia care at home is a tailored service that supports people experiencing memory loss, confusion, or changes in thinking, while enabling them to remain in familiar surroundings. Familiarity with their own home, community, and routines can help reduce anxiety and maintain a sense of independence.
Our care professionals are experienced in responding to the challenges dementia can bring, including changes in mood, difficulties with communication, and periods of restlessness.
Our dementia care service is ideal for:

“Having Emily with Dad has been the biggest relief. He feels safe, calm, and understood. We finally feel like a family again, not just carers. GoodOaks has given us back precious time together.”
“The difference is remarkable. In just a few months, Dad’s anxiety has eased, his routine is settled, and we no longer worry about missed medication or him being alone at night. It’s changed all our lives.”
David, 79, had been living in his family home in Reading for more than 40 years. After a diagnosis of vascular dementia, his daughter Claire and son Peter did their best to support him around work and family life.
But as the months passed, they noticed more challenges: forgotten meals, misplaced tablets, and increasing restlessness at night. David, once outgoing and social, started withdrawing from friends and community activities. The family faced the difficult decision of whether he could continue living at home safely.
When the family contacted GoodOaks Homecare Reading and West Berkshire, we arranged a home visit to talk through David’s needs and preferences. Together, we created a personalised dementia care plan built around stability, calm routines, and meaningful companionship.
David was introduced to Emily, a trained dementia care professional with a warm, empathetic nature. Emily quickly built trust by taking time to learn David’s history and interests, particularly his passion for classic cars and gardening.
Over the following weeks, Emily’s support helped David regain confidence:
Medication support; gentle reminders and consistent routines meant no more missed doses.
Meal preparation; nutritious meals at familiar times reduced confusion and improved his energy.
Evening reassurance; Emily’s presence helped calm David’s sundowning symptoms and anxiety after dark.
Companionship; trips to the local park and conversations about cars helped spark joy and maintain connection.
Within just a few months, David was more settled, engaged, and supported – without leaving the home he loved. His family no longer felt overwhelmed by the constant responsibilities of care and could simply enjoy being with their dad again.
For David, it meant continuing to live surrounded by memories, in the comfort of his own home, with the professional support he needed. For his family, it meant peace of mind, and a reminder that they are not alone on this journey.
