Common Questions

Alzheimer's & Dementia Care Questions, Answered

What is the Senior Gems® approach to dementia care?

+
Senior Gems® is a care method created by Senior Helpers for everything from normal aging through late-stage dementia. It classifies each stage, focuses on what your loved one can still do, and gives our caregivers specific strategies for each Gem level, so care stays positive, purposeful, and effective as the disease progresses.

Can my loved one with dementia stay at home instead of moving to a facility?

+
In many cases, yes. Familiar surroundings, consistent routines, and one-on-one attention often reduce confusion and anxiety. Our caregivers provide supervision, personal care, and engagement at home, and we adjust the plan as needs change.

How do I know it is time for professional dementia care?

+
Common signs include wandering, missed medications, changes in hygiene, unsafe cooking or driving, and family caregiver exhaustion. A free in-home assessment gives you a clear picture of the stage of dementia and the right level of support. Care can often begin within days.

Are your caregivers trained in Alzheimer's and dementia care?

+
Yes. Every Senior Helpers caregiver is background checked, professionally trained in the Senior Gems® approach, and supported by our local Grand Rapids team. We match caregivers based on personality and care needs, not just availability.

How much does in-home dementia care cost?

+
Cost depends on the hours and level of care your loved one needs. Your free in-home assessment includes clear, straightforward pricing with no obligation, so you can make the best decision for your family.
