Caring for a loved one with dementia can be challenging, emotional, and sometimes overwhelming. Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease impact millions of families each year, making it difficult for seniors to manage everyday tasks on their own. Providing care in the comfort of home is one of the most supportive ways to help someone maintain their dignity and independence. Lares Home Care is proud to offer specialized in-home dementia care designed to bring peace of mind to families and comfort to their loved ones.
Understanding Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease
Dementia is a general term used to describe a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common type of dementia, but there are many forms, including vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Symptoms can range from memory loss and confusion to changes in behavior and mood swings.
As dementia progresses, seniors may struggle with language, problem-solving, and completing familiar tasks. Each individual’s journey is unique, which is why personalized care is vital for improving quality of life.
We specialize in 24-Hour Home Care, including Live-In Care. We offer personalized Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care, Personal Care, and Companion Care. Our Care Management services offer a way to bridge the gap between growing needs and available resources.
Why In-Home Dementia Care is Beneficial
Choosing in-home dementia care allows seniors to remain in a familiar and comforting environment. Familiar surroundings can help reduce feelings of confusion and anxiety that are common with dementia.
Benefits of in-home memory care include:
- Personalized, one-on-one attention
- Flexibility to adapt care as needs change
- Preservation of daily routines and habits
- Reduced stress compared to facility care
- Increased safety through consistent supervision
By staying at home, seniors can continue enjoying their favorite activities, whether it’s tending to a garden, listening to music, or simply spending time with family.
