Memory Care
If memory is an issue, the care givers at Assisting hands have been specially trained to handle Alzheimers and Dementia.
Alzheimers Care

Dementia Care
Dementia, like Alzheimers can be difficult to deal with. Similar to Alzheimers, difficulty recalling names and general confusion is common, but Dementia also can cause anxiety, depression, hallucinations, selfishness, and the disregarding of manners.
