Homecare Support for Dementia: Understanding Beyond Numbers This Alzheimer’s Month

May 18, 2026

Alzheimer impact on the brain

This September, as we recognize World Alzheimer’s Month and mark World Alzheimer’s Day on September 21st, the global community is uniting under a powerful and simple message: it’s time to ask, to learn, and to talk openly about dementia.

The Scale of Dementia in Ireland

There are currently around 64,000 people living with dementia in Ireland, and this number is expected to double by 2045. Behind every statistic is a person — someone’s parent, partner, or friend — navigating a condition that changes not just memory, but identity, relationships, and daily life.

How HomeCarer Supports People Living with Dementia

At HomeCarer Trusted Independent Living, we provide specialist homecare support for people living with dementia in Dublin. Our Healthcare Assistants receive specific training in dementia care, enabling them to provide support that is compassionate, consistent, and tailored to each person’s individual needs and preferences.

Our dementia homecare services include:

  • Consistent care from familiar carers to reduce confusion and anxiety
  • Support with daily routines and personal care
  • Companionship and meaningful activity
  • Medication reminders and health monitoring
  • Respite care to support family carers

Supporting Family Carers

We also recognise the enormous role that family carers play. Caring for a loved one with dementia is one of the most demanding roles a person can take on. Our respite care services are designed to give family carers the breaks they need to maintain their own health and well-being.
