DEMENTIA CARE
At Halcyon Care we specialise in the care of those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, helping them to live as independently as possible in the comfort of their own home.
Our passion began from first-hand experiences of helping a loved one who was living with a life limiting condition. It was during the process of trying to find suitable care that we realised there was not enough high-quality support, particularly for those living with dementia, and very little support for caring family members.
At Halcyon Care we understand how living with dementia can be completely life changing for the whole family. It affects not only the individual living with the condition, but everyone in their support network who will be adapting to their symptoms and changes in behaviour.
A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease or any other form of dementia does not mark the end of living a full and happy life There are so many ways to help improve quality of life when living with a form of dementia.
We have worked tirelessly over the years, enhancing the lives of those living with dementia from the comfort of their own home. We support not only our clients, but also family members with caring responsibilities who greatly rely on Halcyon Care for help, guidance, reassurance and respite.
Over the years we have invested heavily in research and training to educate our team in the symptoms, causes and best practises for caring for clients with dementia.
Whilst we still offer all our usual services, our specialist dementia care is focused specifically towards helping those living with a form of dementia to provide the most appropriate and suitable solutions.

It is the passion of our team to help those living with dementia to live a happy and fulfilling life at home, providing the most suitable, specialist support for the needs of the individual.
At Halcyon Care we place huge importance on continuity of care. In particular for those living with dementia it is important that many elements of their day-to-day lives stay the same. By matching our client with their own dedicated carer(s) it allows for a trusting relationship to form, enabling a routine to be maintained, and providing confidence that there will always be a familiar face when we visit.
