Caring for Someone with Alzheimer's or Dementia

​As Alzheimer's or Dementia advance, seniors, families and caregivers are faced with a variety of challenges as it progresses from memory loss to severe mental and physical decline. We are here for you during this often difficult time.

​Our caregivers and staff display not only compassion and sensitivity, but experience and knowledge when caring for our Alzheimer's and Dementia clients.​ Alzheimer’s Disease and related Dementia can cause a person to act in unpredictable ways. These behaviors can lead to misunderstanding, frustration and tension, for the individual and the family member providing care. Our caregivers can improve the quality of life not only for the person with Alzheimer’s or dementia, but also for their loved ones.

Memory Problems

​Loved ones with Alzheimer's disease often have memory problems -- many times with recently learned information but also with learned behaviors.  As we age, it is normal to occasionally forget telephone numbers, appointments, and even names of people we know well.  However, those with Alzheimer's gradually forget more and more and are less able to recall learned information.​
