We Help Loved Ones Age Gracefully at Home

Our caregivers provide in-home, nonmedical care to Alzheimer’s and Dementia clients. Our goal is to develop a supportive, comfortable atmosphere that our clients can thrive in.

According to the CDC, more than five million people are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of Dementia. This number is expected to triple by the second half of the century. Although there is no current cure for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of Dementia, there are ways to ensure your loved one remains comfortable and enjoys the highest quality of life possible while they live at home.

When a Care at Home representative visits for your initial consultation and assessment, you can rest assured your loved one will be matched with a caregiver who has the experience and personality to create the best possible fit. Just as important, our experienced team of carefully selected caregivers understands the unique demands and challenges that come with this form of specialized care.

What Do Our Caregivers Do on a Day-to-Day Basis?

We provide assistance to clients with mild, moderate, and severe cases of Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Our caregivers are trained to recognize new symptoms and track the progression of the disease so we can make suggestions for future care. Our goal is always to help our clients manage their daily lives even as new challenges develop.

Depending on the stage of the disease and many other factors, our caregivers can perform a wide variety of services related to activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). The typical day may include the following services provided:

Why Family Caregivers Need to Ask for Help

It is typically up to a spouse, child, friend, or another family member to become the primary caregiver for a loved one who can no longer take care of themselves. Many also have to care for their own children, work, and tend to other responsibilities in addition to their caregiving duties.
 
Caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue are common for family caregivers, and the warning signs include exhaustion, feeling overwhelmed, anxiety, substance abuse, and difficulty sleeping.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or know you need extra help, we are here to lend a helping hand. Taking some time for yourself is good for your health and overall wellbeing. You will have the energy and focus to provide the compassion and love your spouse, parent, sibling, or friend deserves.

Every client’s needs are different. We will learn more about you and assess your home to help you determine the right plan of care and the best caregivers to implement it.
