At Trusted Touch Healthcare, we know how overwhelming it can be to take care of a loved one with dementia, all while juggling work and taking care of your family. That’s why we offer non-medical in-home care to help keep your loved one safe and comfortable at home.
We create routines tailored to your loved one’s specific needs and build a calm and familiar environment. This brings comfort and predictability that helps your loved one function independently.
What Is Compassionate Dementia Care?
Compassionate dementia care is an in-home care service that focuses on respect, understanding, and empathy in supporting loved ones with dementia. The care is customized to your loved one’s needs to give a sense of belonging and emotional health.
The team at Trusted Touch Healthcare sees the person behind dementia, be it Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease, and seeks to create a supportive environment where they feel valued, connected, and safe.
Through personalized care plans, our caregivers assist with daily tasks, personal care, and mental stimulation through activities such as memory games and therapeutic exercises. This approach supports cognitive function and enhances quality of life, while keeping families involved and informed throughout the process.
What Are the Benefits of Home-Based Dementia Care?
Home-based dementia care offers numerous benefits, all centered on providing your loved one with a comfortable and familiar environment. The care helps reduce agitation and confusion, preserves long-term memories, and promotes a sense of independence.
The advantages of our home-based dementia care include:
Familiar Surroundings
Staying in a familiar environment helps reduce confusion and supports routines. For individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, or Lewy body dementia, the comfort of a beloved room or familiar view can ease the anxiety of your loved one and enhance their emotional well-being.
Personalized Attention
Caregivers at Trusted Touch Healthcare deliver one-on-one support, including personal care, meal planning and preparation, medication reminders, grooming, and emotional companionship. These services are based on personalized care plans tailored to your loved one’s needs and stage of dementia.
Emotional Comfort
Loneliness is a common challenge for your loved one with dementia. A caregiver from Trusted Touch Healthcare will provide friendly companionship, meaningful interactions, and consistent social connections that help improve mood and reduce isolation as you go about your daily routine.
Reduced Stress
Families benefit from reduced caregiving burden while remaining emotionally present. Access to respite care and optional full-time monitoring allows primary caregivers to recharge, knowing their loved one is in trusted hands.
Transitioning and Planning Ahead
Even while at home, dementia continues to progress, and needs can change over time. At Trusted Touch Healthcare, we help families:
- Recognize when additional support is necessary, whether through increased in-home care services, dementia home care, or advanced memory care services.
- Evaluate care options such as home health care providers, in-home Alzheimer’s care, or, when appropriate, transitions to facility-based support.
- Plan for future care, including financial arrangements, care plans, medication reminders, and end-of-life care.
- Collaborate with behavioral support for dementia specialists, mental health counselors, and care professionals to ensure a compassionate and well-coordinated path forward.
FAQs
When you’re exploring dementia care, it’s natural to have questions. Understanding what to expect can help you make confident, informed decisions for your loved one.
How much does dementia home care cost?
The cost of dementia home care depends on the level of care your loved one needs. It ranges between $27 and $40 per hour. For full-time care services, this translates to a range of $4,000 to $6,500.
When should I hire a dementia caregiver?
Consider enlisting the help of a dementia caregiver when the demands of caring for your loved one surpass your capacity or when their well-being or safety is at risk. Consider professional support when:
- Daily tasks like bathing or meal prep become difficult, and personal care is needed
- Wandering prevention or memory lapses create safety concerns
- You need consistent behavioral support for dementia
- You are experiencing caregiver fatigue or need temporary relief through respite care
Early intervention with dementia home care ensures safety, promotes independence, and enhances quality of life in the familiar environment of home.
Does Medicare Cover Dementia Home Care?
Medicare covers in-home care for people with dementia in some situations, like when your loved one is homebound and needs skilled nursing care, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or physical therapy. Care to help with daily living activities isn’t covered unless it’s paired with skilled care.
Is it illegal to leave a dementia patient unattended?
While it’s not necessarily illegal, leaving your loved one with dementia unattended bears serious risks and can be seen as neglect. Whether it’s legal or not depends on whether your loved one can care for themselves or if they are a risk to themselves. Trusted Touch Healthcare helps prevent these situations and guarantees quality dementia care for your loved one.
