Alzheimer’s and Dementia Home Care in Queen Creek, AZ Area

Memory-Home-Care-in-Queen-Creek-AZ-and-the-Neighboring-Areas

With help from a professional caregiver, your loved ones can get the care they need

Serving Queen Creek, AZ, and the neighboring areas, Assisting Hands Home Care helps Alzheimer’s and dementia patients by providing them with in-home memory care services. With help from our caregivers, your loved ones will be safe and comfortable at home, receiving the proper care they need.

In the United States, over 5 million elderly individuals are affected by Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. To begin, Alzheimer’s and dementia feature mild symptoms, but these symptoms worsen with the disease’s progression. This causes affected individuals to suffer from impaired cognitive abilities, requiring them to have everyday care to live in a safe and comfortable manner.

For seniors who have Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, it is best for them to receive care in their own homes, because it allows them to be in an environment they are comfortable and familiar with. This can be especially beneficial, because it can help to stabilize the individual when they experience outbursts of agitation or mood swings — both of which are common.  Families, however, may have a tough time providing care for their elderly loved ones themselves. This is often the case if seniors are in the later stages of the disease. With help from a professional caregiver, your loved ones can get the care they need.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Symptoms

Alzheimer’s-and-Dementia-Home-Care-in-Queen-Creek-AZ-and-the-Neighboring-Areas

Symptoms include forgetfulness, wandering, agitation, incontinence

When it comes to defining the two, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are not the same. Dementia is a general term that describes conditions that affect one’s cognitive ability. Meanwhile, Alzheimer’s disease is a specific type of dementia. Of all forms of dementia, 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases involve Alzheimer’s disease. Regardless of the form, dementia is a degenerative disease that, with time, impairs an individual’s cognitive ability. At first, an affected person can have short-term memory loss, but it will eventually progress into being unaware of their environment and being unable to recognize their family and friends.

If you notice your loved ones exhibiting early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia, then you need to get them proper care immediately. Early diagnosis and care allow the individual to have an improved quality of life. Look out for the following Alzheimer’s and dementia symptoms:

  • Forgetfulness: The first identifiable symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia are usually short-term memory lapses. However, this is also common among seniors in general, making it tough to know if this symptom on its own is an indication of such a condition. But consistent, more frequent short-term memory lapses are a likely sign of early dementia.
  • Wandering: Due to confusion, Alzheimer’s and dementia patients have been known to wander aimlessly. In such situations, the individual might be trying to figure out where they are, or they may be looking for someone or something.
  • Agitation: Individuals affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia have limitations, and they commonly become frustrated by them, resulting in mood swings and outbursts of agitation.
  • Incontinence: Because they lose bodily control, Alzheimer’s and dementia patients in the later stages are commonly affected by incontinence.

The caregivers we employ at Assisting Hands have proper training, so they know how to manage Alzheimer’s and dementia symptoms in an effective manner. Additionally, we will provide thorough care to ensure clients remain comfortable and safe. We use positive reinforcement to counter agitation and mood swings, and we will ensure they remain safe if they start to wander aimlessly.

Memory Home Care from Assisting Hands

Dementia-Caregivers-in-Queen-Creek-AZ-and-the-Neighboring-Areas

Our services include, but are not limited to: meal Preparation, help with personal care, wandering prevention and medication reminders

It’s essential that our caregivers understand your loved one’s care needs; otherwise, we cannot create a proper home care plan. This is why we begin our services by meeting with you and your loved ones. It allows us a chance to learn of their unique care needs so that we can make sure those are covered within the customized care plan. Not only do we provide personal care and assistance, but our caregivers will do whatever needed to provide your loved one with a comfortable living environment.

The following are usually included with the Alzheimer’s and dementia care services we provide:

  • Companionship: We find it important that, in addition to caregivers, we are companions to your elderly loved ones. It’s also beneficial for the Alzheimer’s or dementia patient. We will speak with them about their personal background, and we will have them do fun activities that have the ability to slow memory loss.
  • Meal Preparation: Cooking is a dangerous activity for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia, which is why our caregivers will take care of daily meal preparation. We will ensure your loved ones eat regular, nutritious meals.
  • Personal Care: A lot of Alzheimer’s and dementia patients cannot provide themselves with basic care. Our caregivers will be there to help them out whether it be with bathing, restroom use, getting dressed, or another personal care task.
  • Wandering: Wandering is common among people with Alzheimer’s or dementia, but it can be unsafe. Our caregivers will be around to make sure they are safe while wandering, removing any obstacles and keeping them inside their home.
  • Medication Reminders: To prevent your loved ones from skipping doses, we will remind them when to take their medication and in what dosage.
