Alzheimer's and Dementia Care

Most people with early-stage Alzheimer’s are still able to live and work on their own. The person’s capacity to manage everyday duties will drastically deteriorate as the disease worsens. Supporting your loved one in maintaining their dignity and sense of independence can greatly enhance their happiness and mood on a daily basis. Instead of placing your loved ones in an assisted living or nursing home, consider hiring a skilled caregiver who can help them keep their independence by letting them remain in the comfort of their own home. Our caregivers have undergone training and continue to do so in order to have the necessary expertise and understanding when working with Alzheimer’s patients.

We can assist in easing frustrations.

Whenever a straightforward task becomes challenging or impossible, an Alzheimer’s patient may feel agitated. We can assist people with personal care needs like eating, bathing, clothing, grooming, and using the restroom. We also assist with household duties and meal preparation.

We create a routine.

We use a daily routine to each Alzheimer’s case in order to make each day more predictable and less perplexing. Scheduling activities like bathing or doctor visits for the same time of day usually helps relatives of people with Alzheimer’s relax.

We include your family members.

We make every effort to provide your loved one as much independence as we can. If you arrange the clothes in the order they go on, for instance, your loved one might be able to get dressed by themselves. This can support their everyday mood improvement and preserve favorable memory recognition.

We are patient.

Expect daily duties and activities to take longer than usual. To avoid rushing your loved ones, Virginia Home Care Services allocates additional time for duties.

Limiting options can be beneficial.

It is simpler to choose when there are fewer possibilities. For instance, offering two options for an outfit rather than a full wardrobe can make decision-making considerably easier, resulting in less uncertainty and stress.

We lessen interruptions

Our caregivers are aware that limiting interruptions during meals and chats can aid in your loved one’s ability to concentrate on the work at hand.
