How Dementia Home Care Services Help
A trained home care professional from Homewatch CareGivers understands the underlying disease and its progression. We also know that in-home dementia care is not “one-size-fits-all.” That’s why we work with you and your loved one to create a personalized plan of care that addresses their unique needs and always remembers that they’re a unique individual.
Memory Care vs. Dementia Care: What’s the Difference?
In-home memory care and dementia care share many similarities but have crucial differences.
Memory care – Professional support for individuals who need daily or weekly support managing daily tasks. Memory care can refer to in-home Alzheimer’s care givers, as well as support services for Parkinson’s and other memory-related health concerns.
Dementia care – Usually describes care for seniors with more advanced cases. These individuals require assistance completing everyday tasks.
