🧠 A Growing Fear Across the Nation

New research shows that 43% of people now believe dementia is a bigger threat than cancer, up from 39% just last year. This growing worry reflects how deeply dementia affects not only those diagnosed, but the families who love and care for them. 💛

At Home Instead Penarth & Barry, we understand the fear, the uncertainty, and the emotional weight that comes with a dementia diagnosis. But you don’t have to face it alone.

Our specially trained Care Professionals provide compassionate, dementia-led support that helps your loved one stay safe, engaged, and independent at home — where familiarity and routine bring comfort. 🏡
