There's No Place Like Home
From the rectangle of sunlight that expands across the breakfast table each morning and the whoosh of the air vents as the heat cycles on, to fond memories of family happenings attached to every room in the house, home is a place of comfort and familiarity in so many ways. For a person with memory loss, research has shown that remaining in these familiar surroundings can play an important role in managing this disease. You want to do what's best for your loved one, and Home Instead Senior Care is here to help make that possible.
Maximizing Quality of Life
Our approach of encouragement and assistance can help seniors cope with the challenges of dementia while enabling them to continue doing what they can on their own. This often involves using a series of easily understood cues and prompts, as well as maintaining a regular routine for the person with Alzheimer's disease or related dementia, to reduce confusion and frustration. CAREGivers employed by your local Home Instead Senior Care® office also help by:
- Maintaining a safe environment
- Managing changing behaviors
- Providing nutritious meals
- Providing mind-stimulating activities
- Creating social interaction
- Supervising daily activities
Most importantly, CAREGivers can provide assistance with enhancing and restoring the simple pleasures of life, such as a walk in the park, a ride in the car to get ice cream or spending time in the garden. Proven to maximize abilities and independence, such elder care activities remain one of the best treatments for this disease.
