Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
Alzheimer's is a disease of the brain that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. It is the most common form of dementia, which is the general term for the loss of memory or other intellectual abilities.
70% of those with Alzheimer's are living at home, so the disease affects other family members, friends and neighbors.
The Alzheimer's Association estimates that 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer's. That includes 13% of those over 65 years old and nearly 50% of those 85 or older.
At Home Care Solution partners with the Alzheimer's Association to train our caregivers on the best practices and latest advances in caring for someone with Alzheimer's.
Our caregivers learn communication challenges with dementia, non-verbal communication strategies, and the Positive Physical Approach. This extra training allows for a stronger bond between the caregiver and the client and helps the client to maintain a sense of dignity even as their condition worsens over time.
We stress enhancing mealtimes, the best ways to introduce new people or activities, and how to maintain a polite and respectful environment even when behaviors become challenging.
Our compassionate caregivers help the Alzheimer's client to maintain a lower stress level, more positive interpersonal communications and a day filled with greater satisfaction and a sense of contentment. Our clients get healthy meals and companionship to social engagements and doctor's appointments. We make sure that all their personal care needs are met.
Call At Home Care Solution at 888-634-8004 if you are struggling to provide the best care for someone you love. We will set up a no-cost, in-home assessment and will explain how our training sets us apart.
