Alzheimer's & Dementia Care in Edmonds

A dementia or Alzheimer's diagnosis changes everything for a family, and you do not have to face it alone. Across Washington, more than 126,000 people are living with Alzheimer's today, and that number is expected to rise to over 194,000 by 2030. Behind every one of those numbers is a local family navigating a deeply personal journey.

Senior Helpers of Edmonds provides specialized in-home memory care for families across Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, and Everett. Our caregivers are trained in the Senior Gems approach, developed with nationally recognized dementia expert Teepa Snow. Instead of focusing only on what has been lost, Senior Gems meets your loved one where they are at each stage and builds care around what they can still do and enjoy.

How we help local families:

  • Personalized memory care at home, from a few hours a week to around the clock
  • Calm, familiar routines that ease confusion and agitation
  • Safety, fall prevention, and help with daily activities
  • Engagement and connection matched to each stage
  • Respite and guidance for family caregivers, so you can rest

You can trust who walks through your door. Senior Helpers of Edmonds is a Washington State licensed In-Home Services Agency (license IHS.FS.70061728), and our caregivers are background-checked, bonded, insured, and Senior Gems trained. We are active in the local senior care community and help families connect with trusted resources close to home.
