Dementia Home Care
Bramble Home Care prides itself on providing compassionate, effective, and nurturing Dementia home care in Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas. We prioritise safety, companionship, and dignity for all those we care for.
Trusted care since 2010
Since 2010, Bramble Home Care has been providing care at home to residents of Gloucestershire for a range of health needs. With various forms of Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease on the rise nationwide, we responded to a growing need to provide specific support for the unique needs of our community.
Home care or Care home?
When it became apparent that there were a lack of options for Dementia home care services in Gloucestershire, and after speaking to the families of Bramble House Care Home residents (our sister company) we launched a specific division of Bramble Home Care to offer our service-users more options for their care.
Supporting all stages
As many people affected by Dementia and their loved ones may know, there are 3 stages of Dementia: early, middle, and late. These stages progress at different rates with dementia affecting everyone differently, but with specialist support at home, people can be supported to remain at home with their loved ones for longer.
What is Dementia Home Care?
Dementia home care helps your loved one live at home with the extra care and support they need.
Every person’s experience with dementia is different. So, at Bramble Home Care, we provide dementia home care that flexes to your loved one’s unique needs.
Our staff are fully trained to understand the special care that people living with dementia need. We believe in caring holistically for our clients, so their carers tailor services to their individual needs and preferences. To us, every client is unique.
How can dementia patients be cared for at home?
Dementia home care can help your loved one live better in their own home in a safe and supported way.
We can provide visiting care for a few hours a week that supports your relative to live independently in their own home. This can involve a range of services to make everyday life easier, from help with meal preparation to household tasks.
We also offer live-in care for clients who need that extra help. The main carer lives in your loved one’s home full-time, with support from colleagues. This means there is always someone on hand to help with everyday tasks and provide companionship.
“The carers that visit are an absolute credit to Bramble. You were recommended to us, and we have no hesitation in also recommending your dementia care services to others.”
Benefits of home care for Dementia patients
Dementia home care allows you or your loved one to be looked after in the familiar setting of their own home. This offers a whole range of valuable benefits:

Home Care vs Care Homes
Dementia home care makes it possible for your loved one with early-stage dementia to stay at home with support. Caring for dementia at home can bring many advantages including:
Bramble Home Care | Residential care | |
|---|---|---|
Live independently in your own home with help
Decide when and what to eat | ✅ | ❌ |
Receive specialised, one-to-one care from a few hours a week up to 24/7 | ✅ | ❌ |
Continue living life your way | ✅ | ❌ |
Enjoy visits from your friends and family at any time | ✅ | ❌ |
Helping your loved one to live well
Dementia care at home is all about supporting your loved one to continue living at home — confidently. Just because they are living with dementia doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy their usual activities.
Dementia home care can help your loved one:
-
Continue exploring hobbies
-
Spend time in the garden
-
See friends and family
-
Cook and bake
-
Get out and about
-
And so much more
Need a little extra help?
We also work closely with the NHS, local services, friends and family to offer a flexible Dementia Home Care service that adapts to our clients' changing needs.
If you or the Bramble Team feel that the needs of your loved ones are progressing beyond the point where help can safely be given at home, then Bramble House Care Home may be able to support you. Bramble House is a specialist dementia care home in Gloucester offering permanent, respite (short stay), and day-care services for people with dementia.
"I cannot speak highly enough about this organisation - from the people who undertake the caregiving, to the office staff, everyone is brilliant."
