As the Baby Boomer generation enters its golden years, their risk of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia increases. Those affected will require frequent and even constant care as they progress into the later stages of the disease.\u00a0Assisting Hands Home Care provides Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia home care services in Lakewood, OH, and the surrounding areas to help dementia patients with incontinence care, guidance, and companionship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When caring for a dementia patient, it\u2019s best to do so in the comfort of their home compared to an assisted living facility because their home is a familiar environment.\u00a0Our dementia caregivers\u00a0are specially trained to work with Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia patients to provide positive reinforcement, companionship and even 24-hour home care to accommodate their needs. They will also engage them in a number of memory exercises to limit memory loss.<\/p>\n

Dementia Home Care<\/h2>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia patients are unable to live independently for a number of reasons that may include the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Wandering:<\/strong>\u00a0When these patients suffer memory loss, they may be looking for something that doesn\u2019t exist or someone who may have died.<\/li>\n
  • Incontinence:<\/strong>\u00a0The later stages of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia involve the loss of bowel and bladder control. They may have trouble reaching the bathroom in time or may not realize what happened.<\/li>\n
  • Agitation:\u00a0<\/strong>Most common in the early stages, patients realize they are forgetting things and feel frustrated or upset, causing them to lash out verbally or even physically.<\/li>\n
  • Forgetfulness:<\/strong>\u00a0Starting with short-term memory, daily tasks can be forgotten, such as taking their medication on time, leaving the oven or stove on, eating regularly, or paying bills on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    To help with these challenges, our dementia caregivers at Assisting Hands Home Care are specially trained to work with dementia patients. We will help them feel comfortable and secure in their home, helping with dressing, bathing, incontinence, and more.<\/p>\n
