Specialist Dementia Care
at Home across Surrey and London
A dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming for the whole family. Our specialist carers provide compassionate and consistent support at home. We help your loved one feel safe, understood, and confidently connected to the life they know.
What is Dementia Care at Home?
Dementia care at home ensures your loved one receives professional support in their most familiar environment. Rather than moving into a residential care home, they can safely maintain their cherished routines. Our trained carers focus on building genuine relationships because a familiar face makes an enormous difference to daily wellbeing.
We offer everything from short daily visits to full-time live-in support across Surrey and London. Depending on how the condition progresses, our carers can assist with a wide variety of daily needs.
- Personal hygiene, including washing and dressing with complete dignity
- Medication management and safe administration
- Preparing nutritious meals that respect personal dietary preferences
- Meaningful companionship, memory activities, and safe outings
- Gentle supervision to reduce wandering risks and household hazards

Frequently Asked Questions
About Dementia Care
We know you will have questions about arranging care. Here are honest answers to the questions families ask us most often.
How much does dementia care at home cost in Surrey and London?
Our prices start from £24 per hour for hourly care and £1,300 per week for live-in dementia care. Our fees vary based on your loved one’s specific care needs and their location.
You can call us to arrange a free initial assessment or talk to our AI chatbot below for more information. We provide a full breakdown of costs during your assessment with absolutely no hidden fees.
What is the minimum number of hours of care I can arrange?
We offer dementia care visits from as little as one hour per day. Many families start with a small number of visits each week and increase support as needs change over time.
How do you match a carer to someone with dementia?
Matching is incredibly important. Before care begins, we take time to understand your loved one’s history, personality, and daily routines. We look for a carer who is genuinely well-suited to them as a person.
Can home care truly replace a residential care home?
Yes. Remaining at home with the right level of professional support is entirely possible. Familiar surroundings greatly reduce anxiety and distress in people living with dementia.
What funding is available to help pay for dementia care?
You may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare if your loved one has primary health needs. Alternatively, Local Authority funding or Attendance Allowance can help cover costs. We are happy to guide you through these options.
Are your carers specifically trained for dementia?
Absolutely. All SD Care carers receive specific training regarding Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, and Lewy body dementia. They learn specialised communication techniques and how to support emotional wellbeing.
How quickly can dementia care start?
In urgent situations, we can often arrange care within 24 to 48 hours of your initial call. For planned care, we take a little more time to ensure we have matched the right carer perfectly.
What happens if my loved one’s condition progresses?
We review every care plan regularly. If your loved one requires more hours or a move to live-in care, we will adjust the support smoothly and sensitively.
Do you provide care overnight or at weekends?
Yes. We provide support seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. We also offer waking night care for clients who require active support through the night.
Which specific areas do you cover?
We provide care across 30 locations in Surrey and London. This includes Guildford, Woking, Croydon, Richmond, Ealing, Kingston, and Bromley.
