Dementia Care at Home in Worthing
Familiar care.
Familiar routines.
Support centred on the person.
Patient, person-centred dementia care at home from a small team of familiar Care Givers, supporting everyday life, dignity and reassurance.
What dementia care can include
Practical support, provided with patience
Dementia can affect communication, confidence, everyday tasks, sleep, eating and more. Whether someone is living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, we begin with what the person can do, what matters to them and where support would genuinely help.
Personal care and everyday support
Patient help with washing, dressing, continence care, meals and medication support, always with dignity and choice.
Familiar routines
Visits planned around established habits, preferences and the person’s own pace, rather than a rigid standard routine.
Company and meaningful activity
Conversation, music, photographs, hobbies, walks and ordinary time together that supports connection and wellbeing.
Reassurance and observation
Calm support, safety awareness and thoughtful communication with relatives and professionals where agreed.
The person behind the diagnosis
Good dementia care begins with knowing the person
A diagnosis may change what support is useful. It does not change who someone is. We build care around identity, relationships, abilities and the details that make everyday life feel familiar.
The care plan is not simply a list of tasks. It is a picture of the person: their story, choices, strengths and what helps them feel at ease.
- 01 Preferred name and communication style
- 02 Life history, work and interests
- 03 Family and important relationships
- 04 Culture, faith and personal identity
- 05 Favourite food and drink
- 06 Things that bring comfort or enjoyment
- 07 Things that may cause worry or distress
- 08 Existing abilities, choices and routines
Why familiar care matters
Consistency can make care feel more comfortable
We prioritise careful matching, familiar routines and a small team. This does not remove every difficult moment, but it can make support feel steadier and more personal.
Familiar faces
We aim for a small, consistent team so care can feel more comfortable and dependable.
Predictable visits
Care is planned around the person’s routine and preferred pace wherever possible.
Confidence at home
Patient support can help someone continue with everyday life in familiar surroundings.
Reassurance for families
Relatives know trained Care Givers are providing thoughtful support, sharing important observations and raising concerns where appropriate.

Families need clear, thoughtful support too
Caring for someone with dementia can gradually take up more time and energy. We listen to relatives, agree how communication should work and help the family understand what the care team is noticing.
The person’s choices, privacy and consent remain central, alongside any legal arrangements for someone to support or make decisions on their behalf.

Frequently asked questions
Dementia care, explained clearly
Still unsure? Our friendly local team will talk through your situation without pressure.
Ask us a questionWhat can a dementia Care Giver help with?
Support can include personal care, meals, medication support, continence care, familiar routines, companionship, outings and calm reassurance. The care plan is shaped around the person’s abilities, choices and changing needs.
Does someone need a formal diagnosis before care can begin?
Not necessarily. We can talk with you about the support that is currently needed while medical assessment or diagnosis is still in progress. Home care does not replace clinical advice, and we will signpost when something falls outside our role.
Will the person see the same Care Givers?
We prioritise careful matching and a small, consistent team. While we cannot promise one individual for every visit, continuity is central to how we plan dementia care.
Can dementia care include personal care and medication support?
Yes. Aurora is a CQC-registered home-care provider, so dementia care can include agreed personal care, medication support, meal preparation and other practical assistance.
How do you respond when someone is confused or distressed?
Care Givers use calm communication, allow time, reduce avoidable pressure and draw on the person’s care plan, preferences and known sources of reassurance. They also share important observations and raise concerns where something appears to have changed.
Can you provide overnight dementia care?
Yes. Sleeping-night or waking-night care may be suitable when someone needs reassurance, help with personal care, bathroom visits or more regular support through the night.
How are relatives kept informed?
We agree how updates should be shared while respecting the person’s consent and privacy. Where someone is legally authorised to support or make decisions on the person’s behalf, we take that arrangement into account. Care-plan reviews provide a regular opportunity to discuss what is changing.
How long are dementia care visits?
Visits are planned around the person’s needs and routine rather than a one-size-fits-all package. We will discuss the most appropriate length and frequency during the free consultation.
Can care increase as needs change?
Yes. Support can begin lightly and increase over time. Because Aurora provides companionship, personal care, medication support, respite and overnight care, the plan can evolve without automatically changing provider.
Where is dementia care available?
Our local team supports families across Worthing, Goring-by-Sea, Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing, Steyning, Littlehampton, Rustington and nearby West Sussex communities.
