How Horizons Homecare supports Alzheimer's Society

Staff across all Horizons Homecare branches complete Dementia Friends awareness training through the Alzheimer's Society programme. We raise awareness of the charity's services among clients and families, and support fundraising throughout the year. Dementia is the most common condition among the people we support at home — this relationship reflects that day-to-day reality.

Our commitment

Why community involvement matters to us

Horizons Homecare is a local home care provider with branches in Blackpool and Lancaster. We believe that good care doesn't stop at the door — it is part of something wider. Our branches are involved in the communities they serve, not just as a business operating in them.

Supporting Alzheimer's Society is one way that reflects. The people we care for at home are often connected to organisations like this — as service users, as families, as carers — and we believe it matters that we show up for those communities too.

About us

About Horizons Homecare

Horizons Homecare is a CQC-regulated home care provider operating across Blackpool, Fylde, Wyre, Lancaster and Morecambe. We provide person-centred care at home — personal care, dementia care, companionship, medication support, end-of-life care and more — delivered by small, consistent care teams who build genuine relationships with the people they support.

Our approach is built around continuity, punctuality and kindness. We believe care should feel human — not rushed or transactional. Supporting local charities like Alzheimer's Society is part of that same commitment to the communities we serve.

Are you a local charity or community organisation?

If your organisation supports older people, families, unpaid carers, people with disabilities, people living with dementia, people affected by brain injury or people who need extra support in the community, we would be happy to hear from you.
