Dementia and Alzheimer Home Care
Dementia & Alzheimer's Care at Home: Edinburgh, Midlothian, West Lothian & East Lothian
Specialist dementia support in the surroundings that matter most — home
A dementia diagnosis changes life, but it doesn’t have to mean leaving home. Familiar rooms, familiar objects, and familiar routines have a profound positive effect on the wellbeing of people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. JR Care’s specialist dementia care service is built around that truth — providing professional, compassionate support at home across Edinburgh, Midlothian, West Lothian, and East Lothian, so people can continue living in the environment that supports them best.
Our Dementia Care Services
JR Care provides specialist in-home dementia care for individuals at every stage of their condition — from early diagnosis through to advanced dementia requiring continuous support. Our carers are trained in dementia-specific care techniques, cognitive engagement strategies, and the kind of patient, consistent communication that makes a real difference to quality of life.

Types of Support Provided
Personal Care Assistance
Sensitive, dignified support with washing, dressing, grooming, and personal hygiene — delivered with the patience and reassurance that dementia care requires, at a pace that is comfortable for the individual
Companionship and Supervision
Continuous presence that provides both meaningful social engagement and safety monitoring, reducing isolation, anxiety, and the risks associated with being left alone for those with advanced dementia.
Medication Management
Accurate, consistent medication prompting and management — ensuring prescriptions are taken correctly, recorded accurately, and any concerns communicated promptly to the individual's healthcare team.
Specialist Health Monitoring
Regular observation of physical and cognitive health, with clear reporting to families and healthcare professionals to enable early identification of changes and timely adjustments to the care plan.
Recreational and Therapeutic Activities
Purposeful engagement through activities that match the individual's interests, history, and current cognitive abilities — from music and reminiscence to gentle exercise and creative activities.
Can We Care for Someone with Dementia at Home?
Yes — and for many individuals, remaining at home is significantly better for their wellbeing than moving into a residential care setting. The home is where a person with dementia is most likely to encounter familiar sensory cues, recognise their surroundings, and feel secure. Research consistently shows that maintaining a familiar, structured home environment helps slow the impact of cognitive decline on daily functioning and reduces the anxiety and disorientation that often accompany a change of setting.
JR Care’s specialist dementia carers are trained to manage the practical and emotional challenges of home-based dementia care — including sundowning, wandering behaviour, agitation, and personal care refusal — with the patience, knowledge, and empathy that effective dementia support requires. Every carer working with a dementia client undergoes specific training before their first visit, and receives ongoing professional development as part of JR Care’s commitment to quality.
We work closely with families, GPs, memory clinics, and social work teams to ensure that care plans are always appropriate, responsive, and firmly centred on the individual’s dignity and preferences. Family members are kept informed and involved at every stage — because effective dementia care is a team effort.
Our dementia and Alzheimer’s home care service is available across Edinburgh, West Lothian, Midlothian and East Lothian, from a few hours of daytime support through to full-time live-in or 24-hour care for those with more advanced needs. Whatever stage of the journey you are at, JR Care is here to help.
Carers for Dementia
Choosing the right carer for someone living with dementia is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At JR Care, we don’t just assign a carer — we carefully match individuals based on personality, communication approach, and specific dementia care experience. We prioritise consistency, ensuring the same carer visits wherever possible, because familiarity is not just comforting for people with dementia — it is genuinely therapeutic. Our dementia carers receive dedicated ongoing training and are supported by our care management team throughout.
