Alzheimer's & dementia care

Caregivers trained specifically in dementia - 30 hours of it on top of the standard program - who work with the reality your parent is living in rather than arguing with it.

What dementia care covers

Six areas, one familiar routine

Daily routine & structure

A consistent order to the day
Familiar caregivers, minimal rotation
Cueing through each step of a task
Simple choices instead of open questions

Personal care with dignity

Bathing at the time of day that works
Dressing with layout and cueing
Toileting and continence care
Preserving what your parent can still do

Behavior & safety

Redirection instead of correction
De-escalating agitation and resistance
Watching for wandering and exit-seeking
Removing hazards around the home

Meals & hydration

Meals at consistent times
Finger foods when utensils get hard
Prompting and company at the table
Watching intake and hydration

Engagement

Music, photographs and long-term memory
Folding, sorting and other purposeful tasks
Short walks and time outside
Conversation that follows their lead

Family support

Explaining what a behavior is telling us
What to say, and what to stop saying
Respite so the primary caregiver rests
A written log of what worked

Why it matters

The behavior isn't the problem to solve, the trigger is

Repetition needs patience, not correction

Being told "you already asked me that" lands as failure. A trained caregiver answers again, redirects, and moves on - which is what actually settles someone.

Routine does the heavy lifting

Same caregiver, same sequence, same time of day. Consistency prevents far more agitation than any response after the fact.

Late afternoons are predictable

Sundowning follows a pattern. A caregiver who is there for it plans around it instead of reacting to it.

Is this the right service?

Signs it's time

If two or more of these sound familiar, it's worth a conversation. The assessment is free and includes a look at the home for fall and wandering risk.

The same questions come around every few minutes
Late afternoons bring confusion, pacing or agitation
Your loved one has left the house or gotten lost
The stove, the keys or medications are no longer safe unsupervised
The primary family caregiver is exhausted and short-tempered
