🎄✨ The festive season can be joyful, but for someone living with dementia, all the lights, music and busy social plans can feel overwhelming rather than exciting.

Keeping to familiar routines, creating a quiet space to step away from the noise, and focusing on well-loved traditions can bring much-needed reassurance.

At Home Instead East Lothian, we specialise in relationship-led dementia care. That means familiar faces, consistent support, and care built around the person, not the timetable.

If you’re supporting a loved one and need a bit of guidance, we’re here to talk.
