Home Instead Renfrewshire and Barrhead offer personalised home care and explain that early support can make a meaningful difference

At Home Instead Renfrewshire and Barrhead, we’ve proudly supported older people and their families for over eight years, providing compassionate, personalised care across Paisley, Johnstone, Elderslie, Houston, Linwood, and Renfrew.

Our mission is simple: to help older adults live well and independently in the place they feel most comfortable — their own home. A key part of that is helping families recognise and respond to the early signs of dementia.

Understanding Dementia

Dementia isn’t a specific disease, but a term used to describe a range of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and daily functioning. While occasional forgetfulness is normal with age, ongoing confusion or changes in behaviour may signal something more serious. Common signs include:

• Memory loss that affects daily life
• Difficulty following conversations or completing familiar tasks
• Becoming confused about time or place
• Changes in mood, personality, or social withdrawal
• Repeating questions or losing track mid-sentence

Local, Personalised Support Right Where You Are

What sets us apart is our focus on personalised, relationship-led care. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all support. Every individual is unique, so we tailor our care to suit their preferences, routines, and personality.

Our local Care Professionals are trained to spot the early signs of cognitive change and provide gentle, proactive support to help older adults maintain their independence for as long as possible.
