In-Home Care for Seniors with Dementia
Dementia Care
Our care managers specialize in conducting cognitive and functional assessments to understand each individual's unique needs. We then match our extensively trained caregivers to the specific abilities and challenges of the person with dementia.
Daily care plans are customized around the individual's interests, capabilities and changing needs to promote engagement and quality of life. We also provide caregiver education and emotional support for family members throughout the dementia journey.
Reducing the Impact of Dementia
Get help early and pursue healthy habits.
There are many promising treatments to help slow the development of dementia and the associated diseases. However, it’s imperative to get help early and take steps to slow the progression. Healthy habits like physical activity and a well-rounded diet will help your body fight disease, both dementia and other chronic conditions. These approaches appear to be working as the proportion of adults ages 70 and older with dementia declined from 13% in 2011 to 10% in 2019.
Signs of Dementia
Dementia manifests differently in different people; no two patients are exactly alike.
Here are some common early warning signs of dementia to look for:
- Memory loss, especially when trying to recall recent events or how to do everyday tasks
- Problems with language and communication, including forgetting words or asking the same questions repeatedly
- Disorientation and getting lost in familiar places
- Poor self-care, including lapses in hygiene, eating and dressing
- Misplacing things and putting items in odd places
- Emotional changes and withdrawal
