Memory Care at Home

The only effective way to provide memory care services is to personalize the approach. There is no one-size-fits-all method, as each patient will respond differently to receiving care.

Also, individuals simply have different needs. To achieve the best results, our highly trained caregivers focus on the following:

• The History and Background of our Clients: Short-term memory is oftentimes the first to go. Because of this, patients can get frustrated with, or disengaged from, conversations. To prevent this from happening, we target their long-term memory. This keeps the conversation going and is a better way to build a relationship and provide mental stimulation.
• Loved Ones: Family members and loved ones are experts when it comes to what the affected individual needs and responds to the most. This is why we work with them to develop a customized memory care plan.
• Compassionate Services: Your loved one deserves nothing less than patience, respect, and kindness. It was not their decision to suffer from severe memory loss.

Many family members of affected individuals grapple with the idea of moving their loved one to a nursing home for care. This can be beneficial in some cases, but it is almost always easier on the suffering individual to remain in a familiar location.

They will feel more comfortable, and will not need to learn a new noisy, crowded environment. It also makes it easier for them to do minor tasks themselves and maintain a feeling of control. That’s why we strongly recommend in-home care for seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

How to Identify Memory Loss

Individuals suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s will often display similar signs as their memory fades. It begins with forgetfulness and extends to difficulty with performing day-to-day tasks (this is why we provide bathing, cooking, cleaning, and similar assistance). Other signs include:

• Agitation as they struggle with simple tasks or remembering things
• Aimless wandering
• Incontinence

If you notice any of these indications, we encourage you to contact our Alzheimer’s specialists right away. Memory loss can advance quickly, but our Alzheimer’s and dementia care services can slow down this slippery progression. Through mental stimulation, companionship, and light physical activity (such as walks), we keep clients engaged.

We couldn’t be happier with Assisting Hands in Park Ridge IL. From scheduling the visits to the professionalism provided by the caretakers, I can honestly say that I am very impressed by this company. The caretaker was not only respectful and understanding when it came to my loved one’s needs, but was flexible when I had to change an appointment. Because of that, I highly recommend this company!
