Dementia Home Care

What is Dementia Home Care?

Are you worried about caring for a loved one with dementia at home? Dementia home care allows seniors to stay in the comfort of their own homes, where they feel safest and most secure. Studies show that seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia who remain at home experience fewer falls, less wandering, and better overall health outcomes than those in long-term care facilities.

Dementia home care includes non-medical and medical support to help seniors manage their symptoms and maintain their dignity. Depending on your loved one’s needs, dementia care may include:

Companion Services: Visiting, supervision, and recreational activities
Personal Care Services: Bathing, dressing, grooming, eating, and more
Homemaker Services: Shopping, housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation
Skilled Care: Wound care, injections, and medical needs provided by licensed healthcare professionals

Medical Home Care vs. Non-Medical Home Care for Dementia

Non-medical home care focuses on personal care, companionship, transportation, and household help. Medical home care involves professional nursing services like medication administration, wound care, and therapy.

Serving Hands Senior Care provides in-home care and compassionate caregivers so you have the peace of mind knowing your loved ones are covered. We are an AHS approved vendor for the Client Directed Home Care Invoicing Program.

  • Changes in behaviour, hygiene, or daily routine

  • Wandering or confusion putting their safety at risk
