Expert Dementia Care by Certified Practitioners
Dementia is a commonly heard term, and many aging individuals receive this diagnosis either independently or alongside other health conditions, often requiring assistance at home. This page focuses specifically on dementia, providing a definition and additional resources for deeper understanding. We highlight the benefits of our care for those with dementia, emphasizing proactive and continuous caregiver training, our partnerships with organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association, and our effective communication systems throughout the caregiving process. We also encourage you to explore other pages on our website, such as Disease-Specific Care and Safety and Supervision, to enhance your knowledge of home care and empower you to advocate for the specific needs of your aging loved one.
What is Dementia
According to the Alzheimer’s Association at www.alz.org, “Dementia is not a specific disease. It’s an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities. Alzheimer’s disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of cases.”
Providing Personal Care
As dementia manifests differently in each individual, providing personal care requires a thoughtful, customized approach. This is where our expertise comes in. Through our continuous caregiver training and partnerships with organizations such as the Alzheimer's Association, we ensure our companionship services are tailored to the specific needs and conditions of your aging loved ones.
We Equip You to Help
Be it through disease-specific care or safety and supervision, we equip you with the knowledge to advocate for your loved one's needs. Open communication is key in this process. Your observations and insights about your loved one's day-to-day functioning help us deliver the highest level of customized care. Rest assured, our experience in caring for many elderly and/or disabled individuals with dementia means your observations, no matter how unusual they might seem, are invaluable in providing the best care possible.
