September marks World Alzheimer’s Month — a time to raise awareness, share advice, and support families living with dementia. At HC-One, as the UK’s largest dementia care provider, we’re proud to use this month to highlight the support available for families, celebrate the voices of residents and relatives, and showcase the dedication of our teams.
Sharing advice and guidance for families
Throughout the month, we’re publishing blogs and videos to help families navigate some of the most common questions about dementia care, including:
-
What are the early signs of dementia?
-
When is the right time to consider a care home for dementia?
-
What to look out for when choosing a dementia care home
-
What are the benefits of a dementia care home?
Each article has been written to simplify complex decisions, offering practical advice and reassurance for families at every stage of the journey. Alongside the blogs, we’ve shared short videos and resident stories designed to give quick, accessible tips.
Highlighting specialist dementia care
We’re also shining a light on our teams working within our Specialist Dementia Care Communities (SDCCs) in Preston and Glasgow. These communities are designed to support people with complex dementia needs, offering higher staffing levels, specialist roles such as Assistant Psychologists and Therapeutic Wellbeing Practitioners, and therapeutic environments created with calmness and comfort in mind.
Families have told us the difference is “life-changing” — and results show remarkable improvements in quality of life for residents.
Celebrating resident stories
Most importantly, this month has been about sharing the voices of the people we care for and their families. We’ve highlighted stories like Ian and his wife Jacqui, showing the difference that kind, person-led dementia care can make in everyday life.
Caring with kindness
At HC-One, dementia care is about more than managing symptoms — it’s about enriching lives, supporting families, and helping people live with dignity, purpose, and connection.
