Over 5 million seniors in the United States are affected by Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other types of memory loss conditions. To begin, the symptoms of such diseases are mild.

If elderly individuals have dementia or another type of memory loss, their cognitive abilities will decline, and they will need to receive assistance from a trained professional.

Dementia Care in Benbrook

Seniors who have Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia need to receive consistent care, and it is best that this care is provided within the familiar environment of their home. This is because the comfort and familiarity of their home helps stabilize their mood and limits confusion. Families may want to provide help themselves, but it can be tough due to the constant and intensive care required. Dementia home care services are available to help families in such a situation.

At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide Alzheimer’s and dementia care services to help affected seniors in Benbrook, TX, and the neighboring areas. We employ properly trained caregivers who will provide effective memory care services. We can help manage memory loss symptoms and slow its effects. Our caregivers will help clients remain safe at home and have them do memory exercises that help slow memory loss.

Symptoms of Dementia and Alzheimer’s

Often used interchangeably, the terms “Alzheimer’s disease” and “dementia” are not the same. Alzheimer’s disease is one type of dementia, affecting 60 to 80 percent of elderly individuals. Meanwhile, dementia is a general term that describes various memory loss conditions that lead to cognitive ability decline. The initial symptoms are mild, often being occasional memory lapses. With time, however, symptoms worsen, and affected individuals reach a point where they are unaware of the places and people around them.

Catching these symptoms early on is important so your affected loved ones can get essential care sooner. If they receive care toward the beginning of the condition, affected seniors can have a better quality of life. The following are the most common Alzheimer’s and dementia symptoms:

  • Forgetfulness: When it comes to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss is one of the most well-known symptoms. To start, people will experience seemingly harmless short-term memory lapses.
  • Wandering: Wandering is common for seniors who have Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia due to confusion. They might be unsure about where they are or are searching for a familiar object.
  • Agitation: A lot of individuals who have memory loss conditions are aware of their increasing limitations, so they can become frustrated and agitated, resulting in outbursts.
  • Incontinence: In the later stages of the disease, people who have Alzheimer’s or dementia can lose bodily control, which can result in incontinence concerns.

Memory Care from Assisting Hands

We begin our memory care services by meeting with you and your loved one to conduct an assessment, where we evaluate their condition and care needs. From there, we use that information to develop a customized care plan that helps them live a safe, comfortable life at home.

The following are offered in our dementia home care services:

  • Personal Senior Care: Self-care tasks are not easy for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia to handle, so our caregivers will help with bathing, dressing, bathroom use, and other activities of daily living.
  • Companion Care: Our caregivers will do more than provide help and memory care exercises that are designed to slow down the progression of memory loss. We will also be companions to your elderly loved one, engaging in friendly conversation and participating in fun activities.
  • Wandering Help: Alzheimer’s and dementia patients tend to wander, but it can be unsafe. Knowing this, our caregivers will keep a close watch on your elderly loved one when they wander and ensure they remain safe. Furthermore, we will accompany them and make sure they do not leave their home.
  • Medication Reminders: Our caregivers will make sure your loved one takes their necessary medications.
  • Meal Preparation: Cooking is an unsafe activity for seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia because they may leave the stove on and harm themselves. Our caregivers will handle the daily meal preparation responsibilities, accounting for any dietary restrictions your loved one may have.
