Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
We provide gentle, creative, and effective care for individuals and families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
Dementia care is based on a keen understanding of how the process affects the brain and an understanding that the best way to reach the dementia sufferer is to enter their world.
Practically Family Home Care is also committed to ensuring clients with dementia maintain the highest level of functioning possible through all the stages of the disease.
Our caregiving staff work together and have specialized training in home care, disease management, and dementia care.
See our Personal Care and Medical Escort overviews for ways we help our clients.
Handheld foods also help to increase food acceptance and allow a person to maintain independence and dignity in eating. When preparing finger foods, keep the options appetizing and easy to grasp. Learn more about Nutrition for Seniors.
5 Things Not To Do
It is important to step back and give that extra time, a smile, and light touch to show your loved one your patience and kindness.
These 5 items are things you should never do with individuals suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia. Instead, approach your loved ones with compassion and patience.
- Don’t tell them they are wrong about something.
- Don’t argue with them.
- Don’t ask if they remember something.
- Don’t remind them that a spouse, parent, or other loved one has passed.
- Don’t bring up topics that will upset them.
