Specialized Alzheimer’s Care in Greenwood

The unfortunate thing about Alzheimer’s is its ability to completely change the life of the afflicted and their loved ones. This progressive brain disease is also known as dementia and can show up as memory loss and additional cognitive impairments like difficulty in communication, visual issues, and inability to handle complex tasks that were previously easy to do.

If your loved one is experiencing the symptoms of Alzheimer’s or dementia, they will soon need more care than you may be able to provide for them, especially if they are your parents. At Senior Helpers of Greenwood and South Indianapolis, we understand the mental and physical stress you can come under when you become the sole caretaker of your loved one. This is why we offer our Greenwood Alzheimer’s care and dementia support services in Indianapolis, Franklin, and other local areas. We are leaders in the industry and we know the best ways to take care of your loved one, so you never have to worry about sacrificing their quality of care.

We want you to be included in the entire process, which is why our Greenwood Alzheimer’s care and dementia support services offered across Indianapolis, Franklin, and the nearby areas work with you to create a specialized care plan that takes into consideration the unique needs of your loved one. We can help with daily tasks as well as assist with medications and even provide something as simple as companionship care. We have the same goal when it comes to the care of your loved one, and that is to ensure they are in a caring and safe living environment where they can enjoy the activities they love. This is done through our Senior Gems care program.
