A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or related dementia affects everyone in your family. Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s takes a great deal of patience. Family members feel a great strain from a loved one’s changed personality and sometimes unpredictable actions.

Our South Florida home health care agency is here to help. Staying in their own home, in their own familiar and comfortable surroundings, is the Alzheimer’s sufferer’s best option for slowing and even reducing the effects of the condition. Such home care delivers the most impact when it is introduced in early stages of the disease.

Why in-home care for Alzheimer’s?

You may already be familiar with memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s, even memory care in home health, but every case is different and many are more challenging than others. A client with Alzheimer’s or related dementias may experience wild mood swings that are unusual for their personalities. They may fall in the other direction, too, becoming more withdrawn and self-isolating. Many wander outside without the protection of a companion or caregiver and get lost, or worse, injure themselves. Tasks that once were simple can become frustrating, leading to further mood swings.

If you are an adult child of someone with Alzheimer’s, you probably work full-time, and you may have children of your own who require most of your attention. When family members are separated by long distances, these choices about Alzheimer’s become that much more difficult.

In-home health care helps people with Alzheimer’s and related dementias live longer, happier lives, with more independence.

Our home health services allow your loved one to maintain their independence at home, keep up with their daily routines, eat their own food, and visit their friends by remaining in their own familiar surroundings. Home care avoids the trauma of being relocated into a new home. Familiar surroundings can help patients with memory issues.

Home health services help delay the worst of Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

Alzheimer’s worsens over time. Confusion, frustration, disorientation, and memory loss can be overwhelming. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s encompasses their physical needs — but they have greater emotional and mental needs as well.

Issues with memory may start small. A person may simply have trouble remembering certain things. They may not recall everyday details they should know, like places, the names of friends and family, and events in the past, even in recent days or weeks. As the disease progresses, individuals may become so incapacitated by memory loss that they become unable to care for themselves.

How does home health help with Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias?

Meaningful activity helps with maintaining memories. In-home care aides provide well-needed support to families who have a loved one who is suffering from memory loss. Our home care team can provide these essential services without moving an individual from their home or residence facility. Your loved one can continue their daily life routine with the guidance and personal care that a home health aide can provide.
