Alzheimer’s, vascular, Lewy body, frontotemporal, and mixed dementia each progress differently. Learn what each type means for care at home, from fall risk to supervision.
Choosing home care allows seniors and adults with disabilities to avoid institutional settings and continue living where they feel most comfortable. At Assisting Hands Home Care, we focus on delivering flexible, client-centered home care services that adapt as needs change.
Our in-home care services begin with an in-home consultation to meet with you and your loved ones and assess their specific care needs. We will then create a complete care plan based on our assessment that covers the unique care needs of your loved ones, as well as a schedule for our caregiver. We will work with you to ensure that the care plan and schedule work for everyone involved. Our care plans are also flexible and can be adjusted to accommodate the changing care needs of your loved ones.

You and your family will have peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are in the hands of our professional caregivers.
