Understanding & Supporting Your Dementia Journey
A dementia diagnosis changes everything - but it doesn't mean life stops. At Royale Homecare, we provide specialised dementia care that focuses on the person, not just the condition. Our trained carers help maintain independence, dignity, and quality of life in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
We understand that every dementia journey is unique. Whether supporting someone in early stages or providing advanced dementia care, our person-centred approach adapts to changing needs whilst celebrating remaining abilities and cherished memories.
Types of Dementia We Support
Our specialist carers are trained to support all forms of dementia, understanding that each type presents unique challenges and requires tailored approaches.
Alzheimer's Disease
The most common form of dementia, affecting memory, thinking, and behaviour progressively. Our carers use memory aids, routine establishment, and validation therapy.
Vascular Dementia
Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain. We focus on stroke prevention, physical health maintenance, and step-by-step task support.
Lewy Body Dementia
Characterised by fluctuating symptoms and visual hallucinations. Our approach includes reality orientation and calm reassurance techniques.
Frontotemporal Dementia
Affecting behaviour and language. We adapt communication methods and provide structured behavioural support.
Mixed Dementia
Combination of dementia types. Our flexible care plans address multiple symptom sets simultaneously.
Young-Onset Dementia
Dementia before age 65. We provide age-appropriate activities and support for working-age individuals and their families.

Real Families, Real Differences
Stories from families we've helped through their dementia journey
"They see Mum, not just her dementia"
"When Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, we were devastated. Royale's dementia team has been incredible. They know her love of gardening and ensure she tends her pots daily. They manage her confusion with such patience. Most importantly, they still see Margaret the person, not just her condition."
David K., Newmarket
Mother receiving dementia care for 2 years
"Dad's quality of life has improved"
"We thought Dad's aggressive episodes meant residential care was inevitable. Royale's specialist team identified his triggers, adapted his environment, and now the episodes are rare. He's calmer, happier, and still living at home. Their expertise has been life-changing."
Sarah Thompson, Cambridge
Father with vascular dementia
"Support for our whole family"
"The diagnosis affected all of us. Royale doesn't just care for John; they support me too. They've taught me communication techniques, provide respite so I can recharge, and are always available for advice. It's like having expert friends who truly understand."
Patricia M., Bury St Edmunds
Husband with Lewy body dementia
