What Is Dementia Support?
A diagnosis of Dementia or Alzheimer's can feel overwhelming, but it does not mean a loss of dignity or quality of life. Our specialized Dementia Support Care is founded on patience, compassion, and extensive training. We empower your loved one to age safely and comfortably at home, providing the continuity of care needed through every stage of memory change.
We focus on maintaining familiar routines and environments, which are essential for minimizing confusion and distress, ensuring your loved one remains safe, secure, and content.
Dementia Support Care is a specialized in-home service provided by caregivers who have received advanced training in managing the unique challenges associated with cognitive decline. This care goes beyond basic assistance to focus on symptom management, emotional support, and maintaining mental engagement.
We work closely with families and medical professionals to create a custom care plan that honors your loved one's preferences, routines, and lifestyle, thereby improving their overall quality of life.
Those that benefit from dementia services
Our compassionate service is designed for seniors diagnosed with early-stage, mid-stage, or late-stage dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or any related form of cognitive impairment.
Families often seek our support when their loved one experiences:
- Changes in behavior (anxiety, agitation, confusion).
- Difficulty with routine tasks and self-care.
- Wandering or getting lost from home.
- Increased safety concerns due to forgetfulness or impaired judgment.
- The need for constant monitoring to prevent accidents or injury.

Supporting activites of daily living (ADLs)
As cognitive abilities decline, everyday tasks often become challenging or unsafe. Our caregivers provide respectful assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) to ensure personal hygiene, nutrition, and comfort are maintained without stress.
Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are the foundational tasks required for personal self-care. For seniors living with dementia, assistance with these tasks is crucial for their safety and well-being:
- Bathing and Hygiene: Providing gentle, patient support during showers and personal care to minimize resistance.
- Dressing: Helping with the selection and process of getting dressed in a calm, unhurried manner.
- Toileting/Incontinence Care: Discreet and respectful assistance to prevent accidents and maintain dignity.
- Meal Preparation and Feeding: Planning and preparing nutritious meals, and offering encouragement during mealtimes.
- Transferring: Safely assisting with moving around the home.
By handling these essential tasks, we reduce frustration and maintain your loved one's comfort, allowing them to focus their energy on positive engagement.
