Types of In-Home Care Services for Alzheimer’s or Dementia Patients

These are the primary services offered to those dealing with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia:

  • Companion services: Basic supervision which can include activities such as reading, playing games, chatting, exercising, or simply keeping the person company.
  • Personal care: Help with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, housekeeping, laundry, meal prep, and help with eating
  • Skilled care: As the disease progresses, many times patients need skilled nursing care to perform wound care, physical therapy, injections, and/or the administration of drugs.

Benefits of In-Home Care for Alzheimer’s

There are several benefits of in-home care for those with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Here are some of the primary benefits of in-home care:

  • Maintaining comfort: By remaining in their own home, patients are able to maintain a sense of comfort and familiarity. This is often cited as one of the most important factors in preserving quality of life for those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
  • Reducing stress: The home environment is typically much less stressful than a care facility or hospital, leading to reduced agitation and anxiety in many cases.
  • Independence retained: In whatever ways possible, patients should be encouraged to retain as much independence as possible. In-home care can help with this by allowing them to continue participating in activities they enjoy and providing assistance with necessary tasks.
  • Family involvement: Families get to be more involved in the care of their loved ones. This often leads to a stronger sense of connection and can provide a more positive caregiving experience.
  • Cost-effective: In most cases, in-home care is more cost-effective than other forms of long-term care. This is due to the variety of services that can be provided in the home setting as well as the reduced need for outside transportation and housing.

For more on how memory care services help keep those with Alzheimer’s or dementia in great care from the comfort of their own home, or for more on any of our in-home solutions, speak to the staff at Comfort Home Care today.
