Alzheimer's Care
The Alzheimer's Association defines Alzheimer's as a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. If you are searching for Alzheimer's care, you understand this disease and how it is affecting your loved one. The impact of this disease not only directly impacts our senior but also the family. Caring for seniors with Alzheimer's takes a toll on the whole family both physically and emotionally.

Reduce the Risk of Caregiver Burnout
Caregiver burnout or compassion fatigue is real and if you have been providing care for your senior loved ones you may have felt this. Merriam-Webster's definition for compassion fatigue is "the physical and mental exhaustion and emotional withdrawal experienced by those that care for sick or traumatised people of an extended period of time." Some of the symptoms that might indicate you are experiencing this burnout are irritability, increase of stress, difficulty sleeping, lack of motivation, resentment toward your caregiver duties and withdrawing from people or enjoyable activities.
Getting Started with Alzheimer’s Care
We understand that knowing what the next step with this diagnosis is stressful and overwhelming. We have seen that sometime moving a senior to a long-term facility may be an option, but it can cause increased confusion and disorientation when they are removed from their normal environment. We want to be the option to help you keep your loved on living at home.
