Caring For People With Dementia

Dementia Caregiving

Are you acting as the sole caregiver to someone with Dementia? If the answer is yes, you are already familiar with the overwhelming nature of the situation, especially due to cognitive and behavioral changes that may suddenly occur.

It may be difficult to personally provide the level of support for a person with Dementia without a professional caregiver’s help.

If you need assistance caring for a person with Dementia, Trusted Touch Healthcare is here for you. We specialize in helping patients dealing with various chronic conditions, including Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

As professional caregivers, we know how to overcome the various challenges dementia may bring. By working with home health services, you can rest assured your family member is in control.

What are the benefits of dementia care?

If your loved one has Dementia, you should seek the assistance of experienced in-home nurses who offer various care options. Dementia patients often need ongoing support, and our professional caregivers will ensure they receive the best possible care.

Some of the benefits of hiring in-home memory care services include:

One-on-one support

The primary benefit of hiring someone specializing in cognitive care is that your loved one will receive personalized, one-on-one attention from an experienced caregiver.

With the in-home private duty nursing your loved one will be well taken care of, helping to prevent falls and avoid wandering, monitoring and adjustment of medication dosages, and assisting with various activities of daily living such as bathing and eating.

Companionship and togetherness

Personal care services offer much-needed companionship to those suffering from different forms of dementia. Not only will our caregivers be by your family member’s side physically, but they will also provide the necessary emotional support that is needed when caring for someone.

The elderly can often feel alone and depressed. However, our in-home nurses maintain personal communication, making your loved one less likely to feel lonely.

Familiar environment

If you opt for private caregiving, your loved one will only benefit from this decision. Staying in familiar surroundings helps calm behavior and reduce confusion, stress, and mental anguish. This can also have a positive impact on memory maintenance.

Staying at home helps reduce memory loss and improve cognitive behavior. Being surrounded by photos, pets, and familiar smells or listening to their favorite music is known to help people with Dementia.

Experience

Caregiving experts with years of training and experience in providing care during all stages of Dementia understand the challenges a patient with dementia faces. Our direct care staff knows how to help the person in the best way possible while ensuring health and independence at the same time. We service all of Montgomery County from our Rockville location, while patients in Northern Virginia will work directly with our staff in Fairfax.

They have a deep understanding of chronic disease disorders and will emphasize meaningful activities that help reduce the progression rate of symptoms. These activities can positively impact the patient’s memory, and they include knitting, painting, pottery, or simple activities that help keep the mind active.
Our caregivers also provide support while maintaining a level of independence for loved ones in the advanced stages of the disease and following their daily activities such as eating and bathing. Routine maintenance helps reduce a patient’s anxiety and confusion, preventing them from becoming distracted.
