Dementia In-Home Care

Caring for a family member living with a memory disorder is both rewarding and challenging. With limited help at home, caring for a family member with a memory impairment may sometimes be frustrating. If you or a loved one can benefit from additional care support at home, Accountable Home Care is here to help. Allow our patient care coordinator to assist you in creating a comprehensive care plan designed for cognitive engagement and supportive activities. A licensed caregiver referred by Accountable Home Care provides respite care, activities, companionship and personal care for proper hygiene. Incorporating a certified nursing assistant (CNA) to provide non-medical supportive care for an individual at home promotes quality of life and helps to maintain a person’s dignity.

Living with Alzheimer’s Care, Parkinson’s disease and Other Memory Impairments

As memory problems progress and symptoms worsen, dementia can often make daily tasks such as bathing and self-care such as personal grooming more difficult. Additional care support from a licensed caregiver referred by Accountable Home Care allows much needed emotional and physical support while maintaining privacy in a familiar, home environment.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, at least two of the following mental functions must be significantly impaired to be considered dementia:

Memory
Communication and language
Ability to focus and pay attention
Reasoning and judgement
Visual perception
