Memory Care in the Comfort of Home
Living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia is easier in a place you know. Your own kitchen, your own chair, and your own routine can make each day calmer and safer.
Experienced In Home Care provides dementia home care throughout San Diego County. Our Registered Home Care Aides give patient, steady support, and a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How Our Dementia Caregivers Help Each Day
Every care plan is different. These are the kinds of help most people with memory loss need.
- Keeping a steady daily routine
- Gentle help with bathing, dressing, and toileting
- Preparing meals and encouraging eating and drinking
- Medication reminders
- Supervision to help prevent wandering and falls
- Conversation, activities, and companionship
- Calm redirection during confusion or agitation
- Rides to appointments and errands
The Same Familiar Faces
New faces can be upsetting for someone with memory loss. We match each client with caregivers who fit their personality and needs, and we keep the same caregivers on the schedule as much as possible.
Care That Grows With You
Dementia changes over time, and care should change with it. Care can begin with a 4-hour visit and increase to overnight or 24-hour care. Our nurses review each care plan and adjust it as needs change.
A Break for Family Caregivers
Caring for someone with dementia is tiring, even when you love them. Respite care gives you time to rest, work, or run errands while a trained caregiver stays with your loved one.
Signs It May Be Time for Dementia Home Care
Many families wait until there is a crisis, like a fall or a loved one getting lost. It often helps to start dementia home care sooner, while routines are still easier to build. Here are some common signs that extra help at home could make a difference:
- Missed medications or doses taken twice
- Skipped meals, weight loss, or spoiled food in the refrigerator
- Wandering, getting lost, or leaving the stove on
- Trouble with bathing, dressing, or using the bathroom
- More confusion, anxiety, or agitation in the late afternoon or evening
- A family caregiver who is exhausted and needs a break
