Award-Winning Dementia Care for Your Peace of Mind
There are many questions you’ll need to get answered:
- What can I expect in each stage of the disease?
- Will the person be able to continue to live at home?
- Where can I turn for support and resources?
We understand your concerns. We’ve been caring for older adults with dementia since 2015 and are here to help.
Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease
If you’re unsure whether an older loved one may have Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, review the following common symptoms:
- Memory loss: Forgetting recently learned information, dates, and events, asking for the same information repeatedly.
- Loss of familiarity with objects and situations: Difficulties with carrying out everyday tasks and remembering familiar objects, unrelated to the occasional forgetfulness associated with aging.
- Difficulty in speaking and writing: Forgetting how to finish sentences in the middle of conversations utterly unrelated to the loss of speaking and writing abilities associated with aging, mainly related to new words.
- Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps: Putting things in unusual places and/or losing things without being able to retrace their steps to find them again.
- Changes in mood or personality: Confusion, suspiciousness, depression, fearfulness and anxiety, easily irritated or upset.
Other signs of Alzheimer’s include loss of the ability to make sound judgments, withdrawal from work or social activities, or confusion with time or place.
The Benefits of Dementia Care at Home
A fully trained and experienced dementia care expert from Jewish Family Home Care is skilled in creative, patient approaches that help alleviate or minimize the challenges associated with dementia, such as:
- Wandering
- Aggression
- Agitation
- Confusion
- Memory loss
- Sundowning
- Anxiety and fear
- Hallucinations
- And more
Receiving Alzheimer’s care at home, rather than facing a move to a nursing home or assisted living facility, means that:
- A preferred routine, which is incredibly important with dementia, can be maintained according to the person’s wishes
- The living environment remains familiar and comforting
- Meals are prepared to the person’s individual taste and served at the time and place that is most comfortable
- Care is provided one-on-one, so the person never needs to wait for their turn to receive attention
- Activities are custom-designed according to individual interests and ability level
Choosing the Right Dementia Care Provider
Caring for someone with dementia is never something that should be attempted solo. As a family caregiver, you need support for regular breaks from care to stay rested and refreshed. So, how do you choose the right partner in care?
Some of the top criteria to look for in a memory care provider include:
- Expertise achieved through ongoing training and experience
- Trustworthiness
- Dependability
- Patience
- Compassion
