Understanding the different types of dementia is essential for providing appropriate and personalized care. In-home care services should be tailored to the specific needs of each dementia type, encompassing daily living assistance and physical and emotional support to enhance your loved one’s well-being and quality of life.
Although dementia care facilities usually offer a range of activities for older adults, familiar routines and social connection may be limited. Our caregivers provide one-on-one support and companionship for aging adults at home or in long-term care settings.
In addition to understanding the personal care needs of your loved one with dementia, our caregivers will learn about individual preferences that provide comfort and security. Caregivers will also learn about your loved one’s favorite hobbies, TV shows, and social activities to provide genuine companionship along with a familiar routine.
As your loved one’s dementia symptoms change, we will review and adjust the care plan to ensure they receive the best personal care. For example, if your loved one gets increasingly agitated at night, we may adjust the care plan to include overnight care and increased safety measures to prevent wandering.
Yes, our caregivers can provide medication reminders to ensure your loved one with dementia takes the right medications at the right times. They can monitor for proper medication intake and potential side effects, which is particularly important as cognitive abilities decline. While our non-medical caregivers cannot administer medications, they can work alongside healthcare providers to help maintain your loved one's medication schedule and report any concerns. This medication support can help decrease one of the most common stressors for families managing dementia care.
We view families as vital partners in providing the best dementia care possible. Our care coordinators maintain regular communication with family members, providing updates on a loved one's condition, mood, and daily activities. Many families find our in-home care services provide much-needed respite while keeping them informed and involved in their loved one's care journey.
