Dementia and Alzheimers In Home Care

Dementia and Alzheimers In Home Care

It may come as no surprise that about one in ten people over the age of sixty-five have Alzheimer's and the disease affects more than fifty percent of people over the age of eighty-five.  Eventually, most people who struggle with Alzheimer’s or other dementia related disease require outside care.  In the early stages of Alzheimer’s most people can live independently in their own home and do so successfully.  As the disease progresses, the need for dementia and Alzheimer’s in home care increases.  As difficult as it may seem to accept outside help, it is important to remember a loved one’s desire to remain in their familiar environment.  Most seniors wish to remain in their own homes for as long as physically and emotionally possible, so dementia and Alzheimer’s in home care by Senior Helpers of Harleysville is the best choice for loved ones recently diagnosed. 

Some of the key benefits of dementia and Alzheimer’s in home care are maintaining a familiar frame of reference and continuity of daily routines and schedules.  Dementia and Alzheimer’s in home guarantees a freedom to move about in a familiar, unrestricted space in the comforts of their own home.  To provide the type of care your loved one requires in the familiar homes and communities will allow for minimal stress, which can aggravate the symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia.  Establishing and maintaining routines and schedules can lessen the confusion of a loved one who struggles to cope with this disease.

In home dementia care can help to establish routine for bathing and eating for your loved one.  The mental impairment can make dressing and hygiene activities extremely frustrating.  Helping your loved one to maintain their physical appearance may promote positive self-esteem.  Caregivers are expertly trained in dementia care and will provide direction and comfort to your loved one while assisting them in their personal care needs.  Highly trained caregivers from Senior Helpers of Harleysville are empathetic and understand the struggles your loved one is facing while coping with the disease.  If a certain approach stops working, the caregiver realizes to try something new.  Flexibility helps your loved one to meet daily challenges.
