Dementia Care in Barrow, Grange and South Cumbria
Compassionate, familiar care in the comfort of home
At Heydays Care, we know how important continuity, familiarity and trusted relationships are for people living with dementia. Our specialist dementia care service supports individuals across Barrow-in-Furness, Grange-over-Sands, and the wider South Cumbria region to stay in the place they know best — home — with the right care, structure and compassion around them.
From gentle companionship to specialist support with personal care and daily routines, our carers are trained to meet the unique and evolving needs of those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. We also support families who may be navigating the emotional and practical challenges that come with a dementia diagnosis.
We help with everyday tasks and personal care
Individuals diagnosed with Dementia may have difficulty carrying out everyday tasks such as caring for themselves, maintaining their household, cooking or even going to the toilet.
We offer continuity of care
At Heydays, all our clients receive consistent care from their own small team of primary carers. We believe that this enables a trusted relationship to be built between our care staff and clients, thus avoiding any unnecessary distress or confusion.
We help to make a difference
As with all our care provision, we aim to make a positive difference to individuals lives. With Dementia sufferers, our team will often spend time engaging in happy conversation and reminiscing with clients, as well as helping with hobbies, interests and physical activities.
We have highly trained and knowledgeable staff
Our staff training programme ensures that our carers have all undertaken extensive knowledge and skills-based training and assessments to enable them to give outstanding Dementia Care. This is important as Dementia sufferers may become easily confused or forgetful and may sometimes behave in an unusual or unexpected way. Our team will understand this and know how to respond and diffuse stressful situations.
We offer assurance
With Heydays, you have the peace of mind that your loved one is being cared for by a company with an outstanding local reputation, and company that is professionally managed, licensed and regulated by the Care Quality Commission.

Specialist Home Care for Dementia
Living with dementia can be confusing and frightening, not only for the person experiencing the illness but also for their loved ones. That’s why our dementia care is built around familiarity, routine and trust — all delivered in the safe, reassuring surroundings of home.
Our approach is shaped by the belief that people living with dementia deserve to continue enjoying life in a setting that feels natural and secure. We focus on maintaining a sense of self, reducing distress, and building daily routines that help clients feel safe, confident and understood.
We support people at all stages of dementia — from early memory loss to more advanced needs — and our carers receive ongoing training in dementia care best practices.
What Does Dementia Care Involve?
We tailor our dementia care services to the specific needs, routines and preferences of each client and their family. Care can include:
- Support with personal care such as bathing, dressing and hygiene
- Meal preparation and encouragement with eating and hydration
- Medication reminders and health monitoring
- Safe mobility support and fall prevention
- Memory support and cognitive stimulation (e.g., reminiscence activities, games, music)
- Routine-building and structured days to reduce confusion and anxiety
- Companionship and emotional support
- Support with outings or appointments, where appropriate
Most importantly, our carers work with patience, respect and empathy, always aware of the challenges dementia can bring — and always focused on what matters most to the individual.
“Thanks to Heydays, Mum is now back in her own home surrounded by her own things. The care and support that she is receiving is excellent, she is living the way she wants to and is back to being happy and content”

Family Support and Peace of Mind
We understand how hard it can be to care for a loved one with dementia. You might feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to do next, or concerned about making the right decisions. Our team is here not just to support your loved one, but to walk alongside you, too.
We’ll work with you to build a care plan that evolves over time — as needs change, so does our approach. You’ll have regular communication, input into decisions, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing someone is always there.
Our service is grounded in dignity, transparency and kindness, and we treat every client and family like an extension of our own.

Heydays Care is proud to be a local, community-rooted care provider. We don’t just serve South Cumbria — we live here too. That means fast response times, consistent care teams, and a deeper understanding of the people and places that matter to you.
All our carers are fully trained, DBS-checked, and receive specialist training in dementia awareness, communication techniques, and managing challenging behaviour with compassion. Heydays Care & Supports Services are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
