Alzheimers Disease & Dementia - Home Care Services / Caregiver Companionship
As the most common form of dementia, Alzheimer's Disease affects roughly 5 million people in the U.S. alone. If you have a loved one who suffers from the disease, you know its effects are often too overwhelming to manage on your own. That's where Synergy HomeCare comes in, providing you with a caregiver specially-trained to provide personal, homemaking and companionship services to those living with this dreaded disease.
Though Alzheimer's typically affects memory, thinking, language and behavior, no two people experience it in the same way. So no two caregiving programs should be the same either. It's during your Free Home Assessment that a Synergy HomeCare representative will learn your needs and create a customized home care program to match.
Home care services for those living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia may 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
Equally important to the well-being of the person in need of Alzheimer's care is that of the person responsible for primary caregiving. In that case, we offer respite care for loved ones who need a break – be it half an hour to take care of their own needs around the house or an entire day out-and-about re-energizing themselves with fun activities.
