When Should Someone With Dementia Go Into a Care Home?

Deciding on a dementia care home is deeply personal, but it often becomes necessary when daily life becomes unsafe or unmanageable at home. Look out for warning signs such as difficulty with eating and dressing, frequent falls, memory-related safety issues and caregiver strain. When these challenges outweigh the benefits of home care, transitioning to a care home offers essential advantages such as 24‑hour specialist dementia care, secure surroundings, structured routines and social engagement.

A move becomes particularly timely when:
Personal care and hygiene routines are slipping
There’s a risk of getting lost or falls are occurring
Behaviour changes or the home environment is no longer safe
Family caregivers are exhausted or unable to cope

Choosing a dementia care home ensures round‑the‑clock support, familiar routines and professional care tailored to every stage, offering peace of mind and quality of life for residents and families alike.
