Experts have reported that in 2022, more than 6.7 million people aged 65 and older were struggling with dementia. The number is even higher today, and if this trend continues—as it is expected to, barring some major medical breakthroughs—these same experts predict that more than 12.7 million Americans could have dementia by 2050. In home dementia care is a need that many families are having to fill, and Comfort Keepers in Wilmington, NC, is ready to bring our compassionate in home care services to them.
What Services Are Included With In home Dementia Care?
Diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia can take a terrible toll on people, especially if they don't have the proper services in place to help them maintain their independence. At Comfort Keepers, our care team works with clients and their families, as well as other healthcare professionals, to create a highly individualized care plan. Then, our highly trained and qualified caregivers carry out this plan, which is based on the client's unique physical, emotional, and mental needs.
We teach our caregivers how to spot the signs of dementia and how to best take care of people who have it. Our caregivers are trained to engage with folks who are struggling with the condition, so they are not surprised when symptoms emerge. Rather, they take appropriate action. For instance, they might be helping to prepare dinner when the client becomes obviously frustrated by an acute absence of problem-solving skills. The caregiver will very naturally turn their attention toward this temporary issue, providing nurturing, reassuring support.
This speaks to Comfort Keepers' holistic approach to caregiving. Helping a client look their best before going to an appointment, for instance, equates to pride and happiness in the same way that looking shabby can make a person feel shabby.
Some of the basic services of Comfort Keepers’ in home dementia care in Wilmington include:
Assistance with light housekeeping and transportation
Assistance with toileting, grooming, and personal care
Providing families with information about dementia
Providing companionship, respite care, and other support services, like meal planning
What Is It Like Inviting Comfort Keepers Into Your Home?
Older adults are susceptible to depression because of the amount of isolation that they are often confronted with. This can be compounded by conditions like dementia. At Comfort Keepers in Wilmington, our caregivers are carefully screened for empathy because we don’t believe that this kind of work can be done properly without love and compassion.
When our caregivers enter the home, they do so more as trusted friends than as service providers. They offer clients stimulating, joyful, and physically healthy opportunities to engage with life, and they are happy to spend this valuable time with them.
