What to expect from dementia care
Dementia care is support from staff trained to help people living with dementia: keeping routines familiar, helping with eating and drinking, managing distress without relying on medication, and keeping people safe without taking away their independence. Providers register "dementia" as a specialism with CQC when they support people with it.
Questions to ask agencies about dementia care
- How do you avoid using medication to manage behaviour?
- What happens if dementia becomes more advanced?
- How do you help with eating and drinking when appetite drops?
- What do you do when someone is distressed, or wants to leave?
- What dementia training do staff have, and how often is it refreshed?

See our full cost guide.
Does Lancashire council fund home care?
Two sources of help: Attendance Allowance, which ignores savings and is for people over State Pension age, and the council. By law (Care Act 2014) Lancashire council must assess care needs at no charge for people who look as if they need support; if savings and investments are under £23,250, it may pay a share once your finances are assessed, depending on income. With care at home, the house itself is not included. How to reach Lancashire council.
