About dementia care
Providers that support people living with dementia register it as a specialism with CQC. Good dementia care keeps routines familiar, helps with eating and drinking, and handles distress without leaning on medication. Staff are trained to keep people safe while leaving them as much independence as possible.
Before you choose: questions on dementia care
- What do you do when someone is distressed, or wants to leave?
- How do you help with eating and drinking when appetite drops?
- What happens if dementia becomes more advanced?
- How do you avoid using medication to manage behaviour?
- How do you get to know the person (life story, routines, likes and dislikes)?

Will I get help from Sandwell council with the cost of home care?
It can. Step one is the needs assessment: Sandwell council cannot charge for it and must offer it to every person who seems to need support (Care Act 2014). If your savings and investments come to under £23,250, it may then contribute following a financial assessment, depending on income, and for care in your own home the property is left out. Separately, Attendance Allowance has no means test. Getting in touch with Sandwell council.
