There Aren't Enough Hours In the Day

Most families who are providing dementia care at home are also trying to juggle taking care of their own family, a career and taking care of their home. Before you allow yourself to become overwhelmed, contact Comfort Keepers of Lehighton, PA, and let us provide you with one of our highly skilled caregivers. They are available to help you care for your loved one and to teach you about the disease and the best ways to care for your loved one.

Having Alzheimer's Does Not Mean Being Confined to a Nursing Home

Far too many seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia end up in nursing homes. In many cases, this is not necessary, providing they have access to the right care services. Research has shown time and again that those who are able to continue living with family or in their homes are able to enjoy a more satisfying and enjoyable life. By allowing them to continue enjoying a familiar daily routine, you are helping to reduce the anxiety and confusion that are symptoms of both Alzheimer's and dementia.

There Are Many Benefits to Seek Professional Dementia Care At Home

We know that you are doing everything you can to provide your loved one with the best possible care. However, there are several important benefits to bringing in the help of a professional caregiver.

Our Professional Caregiver Can:

  • Help to develop a well-planned routine that includes a series of mental exercises and fun things to do that have been designed to help stimulate your loved one's brain, reducing the anxiety and confusion that are a trademark of these mental disorders.
  • Help you to maintain a log of the changes in your loved one's mental and physical capabilities as they occur. Providing this information to their medical care team will make it easier for them to make the necessary adjustments to their care plan.
  • Provide incidental transportation and run errands for things like medications and food.
  • Provide your loved one with a vast array of both personal and homemaking services.
  • Provide familial caregivers with respite care that lets them take a break and keep from becoming overwhelmed.
  • Provide familial caregivers with the education and tools they need to successfully care for their loved ones as their condition progresses.

If you have a senior family member who has been diagnosed with either Alzheimer's disease or dementia, you don't have to go through it alone. At Comfort Keepers of Lehighton, PA, our caregivers offer dementia care at home that is designed to help your loved one remain in the comfort and safety of their home or yours.
