Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and degenerative brain disease and the most commonly known form of Dementia. What you may not know, is that Dementia is not a specific disease. It is actually an overall term used to describe a group of symptoms specific to memory loss and other cognitive impairments that are serious enough to interfere with your loved one’s daily activities.
If your elderly loved one is suffering from Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, caring for them can take a tremendous toll on your own physical and emotional well-being. Because of the progressive nature of the disease, many families choose the support and assistance of home care professionals like Senior Helpers. As the leading industry experts in Alzheimer's and dementia care, you can trust Senior Helpers to make your loved one's life, and yours, much easier and more enjoyable.
We will work with you to create a customized home care plan that changes as your loved one's needs change. We not only provide care, we educate the family and their loved ones on helpful resources, approaches and techniques on how to handle each stage of the disease. Our care team has extensive training and experience in providing the right level of individual care and support, while carefully monitoring everything from medication reminders to daily activities. Each person with Alzheimer’s and Dementia is different so we dedicate our time getting to know your loved one through their families or support system. This is an important element in creating a routine and care plan that works for them. We believe familiarizing ourselves with our client’s history helps us achieve our goal in creating a positive environment. We assist clients with activities they are still able to do and enjoy, not what they can no longer do. One of the many ways we do this is through our Senior Gems program.
