For children, dementia can be confusing, especially when it affects someone they’ve always known and loved. At Home Instead Swindon and Vale, we believe that honest conversations and shared experiences help children feel more settled.

Consider supporting them in these ways:
• Explain dementia openly, using words they can easily understand
• Keep them involved through shared experiences like reading a story or looking at photographs
• Encourage questions and respond as honestly as you can
• Reassure them their grandparent is still the same person inside
With the right support, children can continue to feel connected and reassured.

Every day as a Care Pro at Home Instead Swindon and Vale of White Horse is different — and that’s the beauty of it.

One morning might begin with breakfast and conversation, then off to Roves Farm to meet the animals and enjoy a warm drink. Another might include a visit to the Faringdon Friendship & Memory Café, or a simple walk in the fresh air.
In between, there are the everyday essentials: medication support, meal prep, and companionship that makes a house feel like a home.

It’s not just about practical support — it’s about creating little moments of joy along the way.
