Providing dementia home care services for a senior with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia includes moments of joy and fulfillment as well as ever-evolving challenges.

At Golden Harmony, our Alzheimer's caregivers are fully trained according to the principles of a certified dementia care specialist. By providing this level of respite care for dementia patients, we empower family members to focus on connecting with each other, rather than on being caregivers or care recipients. We help seniors with dementia build upon their strengths and celebrate successes, while supporting them through the particular challenges they are facing.

How Our Dementia Home Care Services Work

Our services start by meeting with the older adult and his or her family in the comfort of home, where one of our registered nurses will develop a personalized plan of care. The care plan will outline how to help the senior maintain as much independence as possible and stay connected to the community and pursuits that are personally meaningful – all while our Alzheimer’s caregivers help ensure safety and comfort.

Some of the many ways we can accomplish this goal include:

  • Engaging in enjoyable activities: puzzles, games, music, crafts, etc., per each senior’s personal interests
  • Helping the senior stay physically active through physician-approved exercise programs
  • Socialization and companionship
  • Life enrichment through outings in the community, such as visiting museums, friends and neighbors, the library, etc., as appropriate and desired
  • Utilizing creative and effective techniques to redirect inappropriate, difficult, or dangerous behaviors
  • Preventing wandering and maintaining a safe home environment
  • Providing personal care assistance such as with bathing/showering, getting dressed, preparing meals, etc.
  • And more
