Dementia care at home is a tailored service designed for people experiencing memory loss, confusion, or other cognitive changes. It allows them to remain in familiar surroundings, where routines and treasured possessions provide comfort and reassurance.
Our care professionals are skilled at managing challenges such as forgetfulness, changes in mood, restlessness, or difficulty communicating.
Our dementia care service is ideal for:
At GoodOaks Dorchester, we understand that good dementia care is about far more than practical support, it’s about empathy, trust, and helping someone live with dignity in the place they feel most secure.
We work closely with families across Dorchester and nearby villages, ensuring care is consistent, reliable, and adapted as needs change. We take the time to understand each person’s life story, preferences, and daily routines, so support feels personal rather than clinical.
As a CQC-regulated provider, our dementia care professionals undergo specialist training and receive ongoing support from experienced care managers to maintain the highest standards.

“Mum feels calmer, happier, and more like herself again. We can finally visit without worrying; instead, we spend our time enjoying each other’s company. Having GoodOaks’ support has lifted such a weight from our shoulders.”
“We didn’t realise how much difference professional dementia care would make. The consistency and kindness of her carer professionals, guided by Nadia, has truly transformed Mum’s life and ours.”
Jean, 84, had lived in her Weymouth home since raising her children there. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, she began struggling with daily routines: missing meals, forgetting her medication, and becoming increasingly anxious when alone.
Her daughter, Liz, who lived nearby, visited as often as possible, but balancing care alongside her own job and family commitments became overwhelming. The thought of moving Jean into residential care was distressing; Jean longed to remain at home, surrounded by her garden and memories.
When Liz reached out to GoodOaks Homecare Dorchester and Weymouth, Care Manager Nadia personally visited Jean’s home to listen, assess, and understand her needs and wishes.
Together with the family, Nadia developed a tailored dementia care plan, focusing on familiar routines, emotional reassurance, and support with everyday tasks.
Jean was introduced to a small team of dementia-trained care professionals who quickly became a friendly, familiar presence in her life. Key support included:
Personal care: gentle assistance with washing and dressing, delivered with dignity.
Medication support: reminders and monitoring to ensure Jean stayed on track with her prescriptions.
Companionship: regular chats over a cup of tea, keeping loneliness at bay.
Support with hobbies: spending time in the garden and encouraging activities Jean enjoyed.
Flexible visits: from morning routines to evening reassurance, adapted as her needs changed.
With Nadia’s guidance and the care team’s commitment, Jean became more settled and confident at home. Her anxiety reduced, her nutrition improved, and she regained a sense of independence.
For her family, it meant peace of mind; knowing that Mum was safe, cared for, and treated with the respect she deserved. Instead of worrying about daily tasks, Liz could return to simply being a daughter, enjoying precious time with her mum again.
