Living with Dementia and Alzheimer's
Don't go it alone. If your loved one is living with the effects of Alzheimer's,
or other forms of dementia, it can take a tremendous toll on your own physical and
emotional well‑being. We understand the unique challenges that Alzheimer's,
and other forms of dementia present to families, and their loved ones. Caregivers
with this specialized experience are patient, respectful, and compassionate. In‑home
caregivers and senior helpers from Better Living Home Care are able to provide care
and assistance through all the stages of Alzheimer's and dementia. In fact,
very few individuals ever need to be placed in a facility environment as long as
there is a qualified caregiver providing in home care. Most people mistakenly think
that one on one care is too expensive, when it actually is a very cost effective
alternative to facility based care (Cost
Comparison of In Home Care & Assisted Living Facilities).
When Does Someone with Dementia or Alzheimer's Need In‑Home Care?
- Cognitive Impairment: If an individual has dementia, memory impairment, or is disoriented
to the degree that they pose a risk to themselves or others, they need in home supervision
to ensure their safety. When minimal personal care and mobility assistance is required,
an available spouse, family member, or friend may supervise their safety and provide
necessary prompting and assistance.
- When a spouse, family member, or friend is unable to be onsite, or the care needs
are significant, consider obtaining the services of a qualified professional caregiver.
- Many families have trouble accepting that their loved one needs assistance when
the cognitive impairment appears to be mild, and they are otherwise in excellent
physical condition. This can be an accident waiting to happen. In an emergency,
such as a fire from a stove burner that was left on, or a cigarette that was not
extinguished, would they know to call the fire department, and exit the home to
a safe location?
- If a policy holder is cognitively impaired, Long Term Care Insurance companies require
no physical disability for the holders to qualify for benefits. If the insurance
companies think they need care‑and are willing to pay for it‑you should
seriously consider in home care.
