Benefits of In-Home Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care for Seniors

Personal Care

Our care plans can help seniors who are experiencing Alzheimer’s or dementia with daily tasks such as bathing, mobility, toileting, meal preparation, and gentle reminders to take medications on time

Companionship

Seniors experiencing cognitive decline may no longer feel as comfortable as they once did in their day-to-day lives. Our in-home care services, such as companion care, can help with your loved one’s emotional needs. Having a companion can significantly impact a senior’s quality of life by helping with daily tasks, running errands, and creating invaluable friendships. Authentic companionship is a crucial element of Comfort Keepers.

We can help with daily activities, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and much more to help your loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia live a comfortable life. 

Respite Care

When family caregivers find themselves emotionally and physically exhausted, they may not be as effective in providing care to their loved ones. Our compassionate and skilled caregivers are trained to provide temporary assistance to those caring for seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia, potentially avoiding the need for permanent placement in an assisted living facility. Our respite care services in Plymouth and surrounding areas can provide much-needed relief. For vacations, we can provide support for the family caregivers of a loved one. For events, we provide the 1:1 support needed for a loved one to attend the event or in-home support if your loved one cannot attend physically.

Private Duty Nursing

When your loved one reaches the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s or dementia, they will likely need more specialized in-home medical care. Private duty nurses can provide one-on-one medical care to seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Our private duty nurses are either licensed practical nurses (LPNs) or registered nurses (RNs). We can help seniors with oral medication setup, non-injectable or injectable medication, maintaining good ostomy and catheter hygiene, tube feeding, general health assessments, and much more.
