Personalized Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care at Home

Every person’s journey with dementia or Alzheimer’s is different. Caregivers available through Family & Nursing Care are experienced in supporting individuals through all stages of memory loss.

Upon starting care with our Family & Nursing Care Select service offering, a Supervisory Nurse meets with you at no additional cost to assess needs and develop a Plan of Care. Care plans are customized to meet your loved one’s physical, emotional, and cognitive needs, helping them stay safe, comfortable, and engaged in the place they call home. An RN oversees care on an ongoing basis, providing check-ins and adjustments as needed to ensure the highest standard of support.

Flexible Care Options

Home care can be arranged for just a few hours a day or up to 24 hours a day, depending on your family’s needs. There is no long-term obligation, and care can evolve as circumstances change. Care may include:

Assistance with Activities of Daily Living (bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting)
Mobility and transfer support
Companionship and engagement in meaningful activities
Medication reminders and appointment assistance
Light housekeeping, meal preparation, and nutrition support
Disease-specific care and safety monitoring

Dementia and Alzheimer’s Support at Every Stage

Early Stage: Caregivers can provide gentle reminders, medication support, and encouragement to participate in hobbies and social activities that can help maintain cognitive function.
Middle Stage: As memory challenges increase, Caregivers can assist with daily living tasks, manage routines, and provide emotional reassurance to reduce anxiety and confusion.
Late Stage: The focus shifts to comfort and sensory engagement, such as playing favorite music, preparing familiar foods, and offering a calming touch, to enhance quality of life and preserve dignity.
