Home Care for Alzheimer's and Other Dementia

Some Alzheimer's patients - particularly those in the early and middle stages of the illness - can be cared for at home and don't require nursing homes or other facilities. In fact, more than half of all diagnosed Alzheimer's patients continue to live in home settings. Right at Home's services offer those who suffer from Alzheimer's:

  • Familiar frame of reference
  • Freedom to move about in a familiar, unrestricted space
  • Minimal stress, which can aggravate the symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia
  • Daily orientation to time, place and people
  • Continuity of daily routines and schedules

Alzheimer's Information and Resources


  • More than six million people in the U.S. and U.K. are living with Alzheimer's or dementia.

  • For a great resource on coping with Alzheimer's or dementia in your family, visit the caregiving section of the Alzheimer’s Association website.

My family and I were quite pleased with Right at Home's efforts. They provided first class service, and provided a healthcare provider who really knew what she was doing. It is not necessarily easy to transport a person who is not feeling well across the entire United States, and Right at Home did a great job in providing this service. Our experience with Right at Home was just perfect.
