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

To all the ladies behind the scenes at Right at Home:

A huge thank you for everything ya'll did for Mimi.  I knew it took a special gift to be a great caregiver, but ya'll taught me that special gift also extends to everyone helping to set up and maintain that care.  It was no secret that Mimi had a huge sweet tooth.  Nothing would have pleased her more than to know she could offer a reason to take a break for some good conversation and cake.  Please enjoy and thank you.
