Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia can affect every aspect of a person's life. It can diminish the ability to understand, reason, and communicate; it can alter behavior, emotions and moods and it can have detrimental effects on physical health.
At Your Side can help preserve the quality of life of a person with Alzheimer's by providing the respectful, dignified care a person living with Alzheimer's requires in the familiar surroundings of home.
Our dependable caregivers are specially trained to care for clients with Alzheimer's in a compassionate manner that protects their privacy, dignity and quality of life in all stages of the disease.
They understand that routine and familiarity are important and are prepared to handle the changing moods and behaviors that can accompany the disease.
Our caregivers can provide the following services, and many others, during their visits:
- Safety supervision
- Mind-stimulating activities such as games and discussions
- Social interaction opportunities
- Support with activities that maximize independence
- Nutritious meal preparation
- Assistance with personal hygiene and grooming
Our specialized care makes a difference for families in need of respite services.
Alzheimer's also affects the family and friends of someone with the disease. A person with Alzheimer's often requires around-the-clock care, putting physical and emotional demands on family caregivers that, at times, can be overwhelming.
It is important to know that help is available. Employing the trusted, professional services of At Your Side gives family caregivers much needed opportunities to take time to themselves with the peace of mind that their loved one is being cared for by a compassionate, experienced caregiver.
