Why Dementia Type Matters—And How We Tailor Care

“Dementia” is an umbrella term. Understanding the specific type helps us shape routines, activities, and safety measures:

• Alzheimer’s disease: memory loss, word-finding challenges, and changes in problem-solving. We emphasize consistent schedules, memory cues, and familiar activities.

• Lewy body dementia: fluctuating attention, visual hallucinations, and Parkinsonian features. We keep environments calm and predictable, with gentle redirection and low-stimulus routines.

• Vascular dementia: changes linked to strokes or vascular events. We reinforce medication adherence, heart-healthy meals, and safe, light activity as recommended.

Your plan is never one-size-fits-all. It reflects medical guidance, personal preferences, cultural traditions, and the rhythms that make home feel like home. See how we customize support on Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care.

In-Home Dementia Care: What Day-to-Day Help Looks Like

Our caregivers are employees—screened, bonded, insured—and trained in dementia techniques and compassionate communication. Depending on your plan, a visit may include:

• Personal care with dignity (bathing, dressing, grooming)

• Mobility & fall-prevention support (clear pathways, safe transfers, lighting)

• Home-cooked meals aligned to dietary guidance, plus hydration reminders

• Medication reminders and routine check-ins for symptoms or comfort

• Cognitive engagement (music, reminiscence, puzzles, photo albums, simple crafts)

• Companionship & social connection (conversation, walks, video calls with family)

• Light housekeeping & laundry to keep spaces tidy and low-stress

When Needs Grow: 24-Hour & Overnight Options

As symptoms progress—or if nights are challenging—families often choose continuous coverage for peace of mind. 24-Hour Care can reduce falls, ease sundowning anxiety, and ensure help is available at any hour. We coordinate consistent caregiver teams to build comfort and trust.

Respite Care That Lets Families Recharge

Caregiving is a marathon. Respite care offers planned breaks—from a few hours to weekends—so you can rest, attend appointments, or travel. Your loved one’s routine continues at home with familiar faces and reassuring structure. Explore scheduling possibilities on Care Services.

Medication Reminders, Appointment Support & Care Coordination

Dementia care often involves multiple providers and evolving instructions. We help families stay organized:

• Timed medication reminders and hydration prompts

• Transportation & accompaniment to appointments, with notes for at-home follow-through

• Visit summaries to keep family members and clinicians aligned

• Suggestions for simple home safety updates (non-slip mats, nightlights, clear labeling)

How We Build a Personalized Dementia Care Plan

1. In-home assessment: We learn history, preferences, risks, and goals.

2. Plan design: Daily schedule, nutrition notes, engagement activities, and safety measures.

3. Caregiver match: A consistent, compassionate team selected for skills and personality fit.

4. Start of care: Gentle introductions and predictable visit times build comfort.

5. Ongoing updates: We adjust tasks, hours, and strategies as needs change.

This cycle supports stability and reduces stress for everyone involved.

Costs & Planning: Clear, Supportive Guidance

During your assessment, we provide a written estimate based on visit length, frequency, and care level. Many families use private pay or long-term care insurance; some community programs may help based on eligibility. We’ll review options and craft a schedule that meets care goals and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are early signs that support at home may help?
New confusion, missed medications, changes in appetite or sleep, wandering risk, or caregiver fatigue are good reasons to explore in-home support.

Can we start small and add hours later?
Yes. Many begin with a few weekly visits and expand to evenings, overnights, or 24-Hour Care as needs evolve.

How do you help with agitation or sundowning?
We use consistent routines, calming activities, soft lighting, and reassuring redirection—always tailored to the person.

Will we see the same caregivers?
We prioritize continuity, building a small, familiar team that understands your loved one’s preferences and patterns.

Do caregivers cook?
Absolutely. We prepare home-cooked meals that reflect tastes and dietary guidance, and we can batch-cook easy reheat options.

What if my loved one is resistant to care?
We introduce support gradually, at predictable times, and incorporate meaningful activities to build trust.
