Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a type of dementia that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, leading to changes in behaviour and language.
In the UK, it is estimated that at least 16,000 people are living with FTD, contributing to the broader figure of around 850,000 people living with dementia. FTD often begins at a younger age, typically between 45 and 65. Symptoms can vary but commonly include significant changes in personality and behaviour, difficulties with speech and language, and challenges in daily functioning. Unlike other types of dementia, FTD often impacts behaviour and language first rather than memory. Over time, these symptoms worsen, making it increasingly difficult for individuals to manage their daily lives independently.
When your loved one is diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, it can be a challenging time for everyone. Frontotemporal dementia home care offers a compassionate solution that allows your loved one to stay in the comfort of their own home while receiving the support they need. Our carers at Tiggo Care provide personalised assistance with daily tasks, ensuring your loved one maintains their dignity and quality of life.
With our dementia home care service, your loved one can get help with personal care, medication routines, and household chores. This support makes day-to-day life easier and more manageable, reducing stress for everyone involved. Our approach to person-centred care ensures that each care plan respects the person's preferences and lifestyle, promoting a higher quality of life.

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Tiggo Care offers home care visits for regular support, live-in care for round-the-clock care, and respite care to give family members a much-needed break. Each service is personalised to your loved one's needs and can be adjusted as their condition progresses. We work with you to find the right level of care and support for your loved one at every stage of the disease.
Consider starting home care for people with frontotemporal dementia as soon as daily tasks become a challenge for your loved one. As frontotemporal dementia progresses, your loved one may need help with most aspects of daily life, including movement and personal care. Early support helps preserve routines and independence, so it’s always worth getting advice sooner rather than later.
There is currently no cure for frontotemporal dementia, but there are treatments that can help manage some of the symptoms. Other therapies, such as language therapy and exercise routines outlined by a physiotherapist or occupational therapist, can form part of your loved one's overall support plan. A doctor may also prescribe selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to help reduce certain changes in behaviour, though medicines alone cannot stop FTD from progressing.
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, meaning changes in behaviour, personality, and speech are often the first symptoms rather than memory loss. This makes it distinct from other types of dementia, such as Alzheimer's, where memory problems tend to appear earlier. FTD is also more common in younger people, with symptoms typically beginning between the ages of 45 and 65.
A care assistant helps with daily activities that have become more difficult due to FTD symptoms, including personal care, medication routines, meal preparation, and attending appointments. They also encourage physical exercise, social engagement, and a balanced diet, all of which are beneficial for brain health. Consistent, familiar support from a trusted carer can also reduce anxiety in social situations for someone living with frontotemporal dementia.
Yes, Tiggo Care provides live-in care for people with frontotemporal dementia, offering round-the-clock care and companionship as the disease progresses. A live-in carer can help implement a healthy diet and good sleep hygiene and encourage your loved one to take part in regular gentle physical exercise. Live-in care also provides continuous support for family members who may feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities.
