Dementia & Alzheimer's Care
Compassionate Home Care for Dementia—Guided by Experienced Caregivers
Dementia is not a single disease but a broad term describing symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and decision-making. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia—but no matter the diagnosis, we understand how profoundly it can affect both the individual and their loved ones.
How We Can Help
Caring for a loved one with dementia can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At In-Home Assisted Living, our home care approach begins with an open and honest conversation about what matters most to you, your family, and your loved one.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution to dementia home care. Our dedicated Case Managers take the time to understand your unique situation before matching you with an experienced caregiver who is trained in dementia support. Together, we create a personalized home care plan that helps your loved one stay safe, engaged, and comfortable—while maintaining dignity and as much independence as possible.
Because at In-Home Assisted Living, every caregiver is more than a helper—they’re a trusted partner in your family’s journey of care, compassion, and understanding.
Our Specialized Dementia Caregivers Provide:
A Familiar, Reassuring Routine
Routine is a powerful tool in dementia care. By creating a consistent daily schedule—meals, bathing, exercise, and bedtime at the same time each day—we help reduce confusion, frustration, and anxiety, giving your loved one a sense of stability.
Compassionate Communication
Dementia can make it harder to express thoughts and emotions. Our caregivers use clear, simple language and patience-driven techniques to encourage meaningful conversations, helping your loved one feel heard, understood, and connected.
A Safe and Comfortable Environment
Cognitive changes can affect movement and perception, increasing the risk of falls or confusion at home. We assess potential hazards and offer practical safety recommendations to make your space more dementia-friendly—small changes that can make a big difference.
Support for Daily Living
From bathing and dressing to meal preparation, our caregivers provide assistance in a way that promotes independence whenever possible. Tasks are broken down into manageable steps, empowering your loved one while ensuring their well-being.
Emotional and Behavioral Support
Dementia can bring moments of distress, frustration, or agitation. Our caregivers are trained to respond with patience and empathy, using gentle techniques like calming music, familiar objects, and redirection to create a peaceful, comforting atmosphere.
Encouraging Connection and Engagement
Social situations can feel overwhelming for those with dementia, but meaningful engagement is still possible. Whether through music, reminiscing with old photos, or gentle physical activity, we help your loved one stay engaged in ways that feel natural and enjoyable.
Medication Reminders and Management
Managing medications on top of daily care can be challenging. Our caregivers ensure prescriptions are taken correctly and on schedule, helping to maintain consistency and avoid missed doses.
Homemaking and Housekeeping Services
While our caregivers are on-site they also assist with light chores and housekeeping services. Our Caregivers help with vacuuming, tubs & toilets, changing bed linens, kitchen & dishes, laundry, ironing, plant care, and other household chores.
At In-Home Assisted Living, our mission is simple: to provide expert home care that never compromises dignity, independence, or connection. No matter the challenges dementia presents, we are here to help you and your family find comfort, confidence, and support.
