Can Alzheimer’s and Dementia Patients Receive Care at Home?
Alzheimer’s Disease is commonly known as a memory disorder, but it affects your loved one in more ways than just their memories. Along with moments of forgetfulness and confusion, they might experience changes to their personality and emotional well-being. In later stages, Alzheimer’s patients may also need assistance from caretakers for dressing or bathing themselves among other day-to-day activities like eating.
In-home care can be a great alternative (and often everyone’s first choice) for seniors with all types of dementia diagnoses. For those who want to stay in their homes, it is an excellent choice, giving seniors and families comfort and the peace of mind they need. It also offers assistance for family caregivers by helping them get rest and self-care, to stay healthy and recharge.
In short: In-Home Care services are beneficial because they allow patients/clients remain where they are comfortable and anxiety levels are decreased.

Do Dementia Patients Do Better at Home?
The old adage that “home is where the heart is”, rings true for many seniors.
So, what is the biggest value in hiring in-home dementia and Alzheimer’s caregivers to provide care for an elderly loved one with dementia or chronic health problems?
It allows them to stay in their own homes as long as possible before moving on into assisted living facilities and nursing homes. Familiar environments offer a great deal of security and peace of mind for individuals with dementia.
Specially trained home health aides for dementia patients can be the ideal starting point for families who need extra help with their loved ones but want to prevent or delay placement in a long-term care facility.
Alzheimer’s In-Home Care Changes as Your Family Needs More Help
In-home care can be modified to provide as much or as little assistance a senior requires, and changes can be made whenever necessary. There are unskilled (non-medical) options such as companion care and homemaker services that don’t require medical care.
There is also skilled care available including personal care aides who assist individuals with daily activities like bathing or feeding themselves while monitoring medical needs.
In-Home Care for Alzheimer’s and dementia clients might only last for a short time when the primary family caregiver is recovering from injury/illness (a respite), or it might be around-the-clock care for a long period of time. In-Home Care comes in all shapes and sizes depending on what kind of need you’re experiencing.
