Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

Alzheimer’s/Dementia refers to a serious loss of mental abilities such as thinking, remembering, reasoning and communicating. Dementia is not a normal part of aging. It can be difficult to know whether you or your loved one is suffering from Alzheimer’s/Dementia as the symptoms typically appear gradually (beginning with memory loss).

Home Care Help knows from personal and professional experience that caring for a loved one suffering from Alzheimer’s/Dementia can be physically, emotionally and mentally exhausting.

• Memory loss
• Disorientation
• Confusion about time or place
• Communication issues
• Inability to read, write, speak or understand
• Mood and behavior changes, such as aggressiveness, wandering or withdrawal

The symptoms of Alzheimer’s/Dementia become progressively worse with age leading those affected to need more and more care as the disease progresses. The symptoms make it difficult to perform Activities of Daily Living (“ADL”), such as eating, bathing, dressing and toileting, ultimately, requiring constant care and supervision.
