Dementia care affects family caregivers. Seventy percent of persons with dementia live in the community, and family caregivers are largely responsible for helping them to remain at home.
HomeHealth24x7® can provide support care 24 hours a day to make sure that the person with dementia is safe and well.
Support areas may include:
house - keeping
meal preparation
shopping
managing finances
managing medications
helping with daily activities, such as eating, drinking, bathing, and dressing
ensuring that someone who wanders can do so safely
overseeing other health care needs which may include conditions like diabetes or heart disease
Providing constant, complicated care to a person with dementia takes a toll on family caregivers. You can reach out to your local HomeHealth24x7® coordinator with any questions you have about dementia care for your loved one. We will compare your needs to the qualifications, experience, and personality of our carers, to find the ideal person to assist.
