Alzheimer’s and Dementia Home Care

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. It effects memory, judgment, and behavior. In the early stages, dementia symptoms may be minimal, but as the disease progresses and the symptoms worsen professional support may be necessary. Having a support system in place is the key to improve quality of life for both the patient and their family.

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s can be stressful, frustrating, and physically demanding. Our compassionate and experienced caregivers perform an essential role in keeping your loved one safe and happy in the familiar surroundings of their own home. They provide companionship for the client that encourages social interaction and cognitive stimulation.

Cognitive stimulation is important in engaging your loved one in purposeful activities, puzzles, and discussions which stimulate the brain to help keep the mind healthy and strong. They also encourage memory stimulated activities that support memories of earlier times in their life. Our caregivers also keep the clients physically active to extend their physical independence.

Our caregivers have learned techniques such as simple choices, cuing or redirecting that can help manage behavior. The stability of consistent and meaningful relationships with their caregivers helps to foster safety and comfort in patients with dementia.

At Companion Services of America, we are here to help by providing home care services that will allow our clients to maintain their daily routines in the privacy of their home and preserve their independence as much as possible.

Caregivers provide support, guidance, and respite care to support both the client and their family.
