Alzheimers Dementia
With approximately 5 million people affected by Alzheimer's Disease here in the U.S. alone, it represents the most common form of dementia. The effects of this devastating disease can be overwhelming, as you well know if one of your loved suffers from it. Fortunately, Synergy HomeCare can help. Specially trained in personal, homemaking and companionship services, our caregivers can help alleviate many of the complications associated with this dreaded disease.
Language, behavior, thinking and memory are all affected by Alzheimer's. However, the experience is unique to everyone. That's why one set approach to caregiving cannot work for all situations. Caregiving must be customized to your unique needs, which is what a Synergy HomeCare representative will determine during your Free Home Assessment.
Those suffering from Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia may need home care services that include:
- Personal hygiene assistance
- Social interaction and companionship
- Wake up and bedtime routines
- Meal planning and preparation
- Creating and maintaining a safe environment
- Housekeeping
- Running errands
- Medication reminders
- Planning safe, mind-stimulating activities
- And more
Often our focus is on the person providing primary care to someone with Alzheimer's. Not only can it be physically exhausting, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually as well. Our respite care services give primary caregivers an opportunity to concentrate on their own needs for a while - absolutely essential to anyone who wants to ensure the health of their own body, mind and spirit.
