How Comfort Keepers Caregivers Can Help with Dementia Care

Our caregivers are screened for empathy, trained to help seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, and empowered to find ways to elevate the spirits of clients and their families.

Our caregivers also practice Comfort Keepers' signature Interactive Caregiving^™ system. With Interactive Caregiving, we get to know our clients on a personal level, learning about likes, dislikes and even past events in their life. This helps us integrate activities that simulate mental or physical activity. Our clients and caregivers develop a relationship, and often listen to music together from the senior's favorite era, read an old favorite book or even do memory exercises like looking through family photos or discussing current events.

We can provide:

• Individualized care plans that focus on physical and non-physical care needs and goals
• Activities that bring joy, provide mental stimulation and encourage physical and emotional wellbeing. Designed to consider your loved one’s interests and capabilities, these activities are built into the plan of care to improve quality of life and physical health
• Support for physician prescribed nutrition and exercise programs, companionship, respite care and other needs
• Referral to medical professionals, support groups and resources for family caregivers
