Alzheimers And Dementia

Our Experience With Alzheimer’s Improves Your Care Experience+

People with memory challenges, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or more advanced dementia do better living in a familiar environment, even as their disease progresses. They’re happier, less agitated, and better able to maintain their quality of life in a place they know and love. But family caregivers can’t do it alone. Even the most devoted care partner needs respite care and time to rest and recharge. We’ve helped thousands of families living with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia get the support they need so their loved one can live safely at home.

We Understand Alzheimer's And Dementia

Dementia is a general term for loss of memory, problem-solving, language, and other cognitive abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. There are more than one hundred types of dementia, but these four are the most common:

  • Alzheimer’s disease: The most common form of dementia impacts short-term memory and language first—and accounts for nearly 70 percent of all dementia cases.
  • Vascular dementia: Vascular dementia is one of the least predictable forms of the disease. Caused by a series of small strokes over a long period of time, it can create sudden changes in ability and affect judgment and behaviour.
  • Lewy body dementia: The third most common form of dementia, Lewy body dementia can cause visual disturbances and delusional thinking, and severely impact walking and balance.
  • Frontotemporal dementia: This refers to a group of disorders caused by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain. It can cause impulse and behavioural changes, language difficulties, and a general sense of apathy.

While there’s no cure yet for Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia, there are lifestyle changes as well as medications that can help manage symptoms, which is why taking medications as prescribed is so important. If you or a loved one is experiencing memory problems or other cognitive issues, we encourage you to speak with your doctor.

Over 50 percent of older adults with some type of cognitive impairment never receive a formal diagnosis from their doctor. But the challenges that family caregivers face are real, with or without a diagnosis. If there is a diagnosis early on, it’s typically Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), which can cover a variety of symptoms and changes in behaviour—and does not always lead to advanced dementia.

Caring for a loved one living with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia can feel overwhelming—and the journey ahead seems filled with unknowns. But with the right level of support, your loved one still has the capacity for joy, connection, and meaning. Our caregivers have the training, experience, and knowledge to support clients so they can live at home safely and comfortably, even as their illness progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is home care?
In-home care provides seniors with one-on-one assistance in the comfort of their own home, which enables them to live independently. Home Care Assistance helps seniors maintain their quality of life, and the personal attention they receive vastly improves their safety, health and happiness. Home care includes assistance with activities of daily living such as meal preparation, bathing, transportation, laundry, medication reminders, light housekeeping and companionship. 
Why is Home Care Assistance good for senior’s family members?
Home Care Assistance brings peace of mind to families because your loved one is cared for by the very best, most reliable caregivers. On call to serve you 24/7, we eliminate the effort and worry of finding, screening, paying and managing a caregiver.

If your caregiver becomes ill or is unable to keep the scheduled visit, our staffing team will work to find you a qualified substitute caregiver. Home Care Assistance reduces stress for the whole family. Plus, our caregivers allow family members to enjoy quality time with their loved ones, instead of focusing on stressful daily needs. 
Do you have a service contract I have to sign?
While we have an agreement that spells out expectations, we do not require a long-term commitment to our services. We want you to use us only if you are 100% satisfied. As a matter of fact, we encourage older adults who are undecided about the value of home care to simply give us a try, even if it’s only for a month. 
What is the difference between 24 hour care and hourly care?
With our 24 hour care service, caregivers come in shifts and stay with the client around-the-clock, ready to assist with all activities of daily living and ensuring safety all hours of the day. 24/7 care provides service for those seniors who require close supervision at all times. Hourly care is typically provided at a minimum of four hours but is also available for more consecutive hours at a time.
