Alzheimer’s & Dementia Home Care Services

If your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s, there are a number of decisions that need to be made quickly regarding what kind of elderly care they will receive. One of the most significant is deciding whether to keep them at home or move them to a memory care facility. While the medical situation of each senior is unique, in-home care for those with Alzheimer’s or dementia can be a positive step to get them the compassionate care and companionship they need.

It’s important to realize that there’s a large difference between regular home care and dementia home care or caregiving for seniors with Alzheimer’s disease. With regular care, aides will provide your loved one with assistance in daily tasks, such as grooming, errands, light house cleaning, and medication management. With Alzheimer’s and dementia care, caregivers are specifically trained in the various stages of the disease, its manifestation, common behaviors, and the best strategies to deal with them. As a result, dementia care plans are created to focus on the personality of your loved one, and a number of activities will be planned to help stimulate and enhance memory.
