Caring for someone with dementia at home requires patience, specialist knowledge and a consistent, familiar presence. At Golders Green Nursing, we provide dedicated dementia care that helps people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia continue living safely and with dignity in their own homes across North and Central London.
We carefully match each client with a small, consistent team of carers who understand their individual history, preferences and the particular stage of their condition. Familiar faces, familiar routines – this is what makes a genuine difference for people living with dementia.
All dementia care at Golders Green Nursing is overseen by a qualified nurse who monitors cognitive and physical wellbeing, adapts care plans as the condition progresses, and communicates proactively with families, GPs and specialists. We don’t wait for a crisis – we anticipate and prevent one.
Our dementia carers are trained to provide compassionate, specialist support including:
Research consistently shows that people with dementia do better in familiar environments. Moving to a care home – with its unfamiliar smells, faces and routines – can cause significant distress and accelerate cognitive decline.
Staying at home, surrounded by personal possessions, familiar rooms and regular visitors, helps maintain a sense of identity and calm. With the right support in place, many people with dementia can continue to live meaningfully at home for much longer than families expect.
Our nurse-led model also means that medical changes are identified early and managed proactively – reducing hospital admissions and keeping your loved one more comfortable at home.
Our structured approach ensures the right support from day one, adapted as needs evolve over time.
We discuss your loved one’s condition, living situation and care needs with you. A senior team member with dementia care experience guides this conversation. No commitment required.
We visit the home to meet your loved one, assess their stage of dementia, and understand their history, routines and preferences. We then carefully select carers with relevant dementia experience.
Our team monitors cognitive and physical changes, reviews the care plan regularly, and coordinates with the GP and any dementia specialists. Families receive proactive updates – not just crisis calls.

Dementia home care allows your loved one to remain in their own home – surrounded by familiar possessions, routines and memories that provide comfort and reduce confusion. Research consistently shows that familiar environments help people with dementia maintain cognitive function for longer. A care home involves moving to a shared residential setting. Many families choose home care because it preserves independence, offers one-to-one attention, and avoids the distress that relocation can cause.
Yes. Our dementia carers are specifically trained in managing the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, including agitation, sundowning, wandering and repetitive questioning. They use person-centred approaches – understanding your loved one’s history, triggers and preferences – to de-escalate situations calmly and with dignity. Our nurse-led oversight means any changes in behaviour are flagged and clinical advice is available promptly.
We can often begin dementia care within 24-48 hours for urgent situations, such as following a hospital discharge or a sudden change in condition. For planned care, we typically complete an assessment and begin care within one week. Our 24/7 emergency line is always available if you need support outside office hours.
Yes. Live-in dementia care is one of our most requested services. A dedicated live-in carer provides round-the-clock support, companionship and supervision in your loved one’s home. This is particularly beneficial for people with moderate to advanced dementia who need consistent, familiar care throughout the day and night. We carefully match live-in carers to your loved one’s personality, interests and care needs.
