Benefits of In-Home Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care
In-home care for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia patients offers numerous benefits compared to assisted living facilities.
Clients stay in familiar surroundings, which is particularly important for those dealing with cognitive decline. This can reduce feelings of confusion or disorientation associated with unfamiliar environments and contribute to your loved one’s overall well-being.
These benefits, and those listed below, are why many memory care specialists recommend keeping your loved one in familiar surroundings for as long as possible — and our caregivers are here to help them do just that.
Prevent Wandering
One of the most significant risks associated with Alzheimer’s and related dementia is wandering. Confusion and memory loss can lead individuals to stray from home, often without realizing it.
Nurse Next Door’s dementia care prioritizes client safety, implementing strategies to prevent wandering. Caregivers ensure that clients can receive care in a secure and familiar setting — their own home. This service significantly reduces the risk of wandering, providing peace of mind for family members.
Knowing that a loved one is safe and well-cared for at all times is invaluable. Nurse Next Door provides 24/7 dementia and Alzheimer’s care services, offering reassurance to families that their loved one is receiving quality one-on-one care around the clock. This continual care minimizes risk of harm, giving families the confidence that their loved one is in safe hands at all times.
Trained Caregivers
Caregivers at Nurse Next Door are specifically trained in dementia and Alzheimer’s care, enabling them to deftly navigate the challenges these conditions present. This expertise ensures clients receive the best possible care tailored to their unique needs, fostering a supportive and understanding environment as Alzheimer’s continues and dementia progresses.
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living
Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia can greatly impact a senior’s daily routine, making it challenging to maintain their own hygiene and nutritional needs.
Our caregivers can assist your loved one with the instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) such as preparing meals, managing medications, housekeeping, and shopping, as well as bathing, dressing, and grooming.
We can also ensure your loved one is able to safely maintain their independence under supervision. This comprehensive support not only meets your loved one’s practical needs, but also contributes to their sense of autonomy and dignity.
Our Weatherford In-Home Memory Care Services
Nurse Next Door provides a suite of in-home memory care services, designed to improve the quality of life for clients with Alzheimer’s and related dementia. Our caregivers‘ comprehensive approach includes a range of strategies and activities to support clients’ physical, mental, and emotional health.
Below is a list detailing some of the types of care we provide alongside memory care in Weatherford:
Communication & Companionship
Effective communication is crucial when caring for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia, since regular interaction and engagement can help reduce feelings of loneliness or isolation that often accompany these conditions.
Nurse Next Door’s caregivers are trained to use techniques that enhance communication with clients. They understand that companionship plays a vital role in maintaining the emotional well-being of our clients and are committed to providing the emotional support your loved one requires.
Memory Games & Physical Activities
Mental stimulation is an essential part of Alzheimer’s and dementia care. Nurse Next Door’s caregivers engage clients in memory games and activities designed to keep their minds active and sharp.
Each memory care client also receives a physical activity plan tailored to their abilities and interests. Regular physical activity can help improve mood, boost overall health, and contribute to a better quality of life.
At Nurse Next Door, we understand that Alzheimer’s and related dementia affect the client’s whole family. That’s why we offer resources, training, and education to help you and your family members learn more about these conditions and help you cope with changes in your loved one’s abilities and personality.
We also offer respite care services, giving family caregivers the opportunity to take a break, recharge, and focus on their own well-being, knowing their loved ones are well cared for.
Personal care services are a crucial aspect of Nurse Next Door’s offerings. Caregivers assist with personal activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. Our caregivers ensure your loved one’s personal hygiene needs are met with respect and dignity, promoting their independence and self-esteem.
Nurse Next Door offers overnight care, specifically at night, where a caregiver will come to your loved one’s home to ensure everything goes smoothly through the night. Those with Alzheimer’s and dementia may experience a symptom called “sundowning” from the late afternoon through the night.
Signs of “sundowning” may include increased confusion, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, agitation, hallucinations, pacing, and disorientation. By having an overnight caregiver, you can be confident that your loved one will have someone by their side to help make that transition from day to night more manageable.
