Dementia Care Challenges

When providing supportive home care services, we at ComForCare encourage our client's independence whenever possible. Allowing them to do the things they still can results in more cooperation and acceptance of care. We understand that remaining independent is important for self-esteem and can improve clients’ perspectives and outlook, especially when coping with the diagnosis of a condition such as Alzheimer’s disease.

It is difficult to watch how dementia affects a loved one, and as a family caregiver, at times, you may feel isolated, overwhelmed and exhausted. While no one knows your loved one better than you, most family caregivers do not know how to make dementia care easier and more effective. We work with you to show you techniques that work, and to provide respite when you need it.

DementiaWise™ Works to Improve Dementia Care

With the help of our specially-trained caregivers, our in home care services allow individuals with any type or stage of dementia to stay in the familiarity and comfort of their own home. In the past, it was commonly recommended that individuals suffering from dementia symptoms be admitted to facilities to protect their safety. However, moving into unfamiliar surroundings can be frightening for dementia sufferers and can exacerbate symptoms.
