What Specialized Home Care Services Do You Need?

Caregivers with experience managing difficult behavioral or physical disabilities may be better positioned to handle the unique challenges of certain disease states, such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and others. For some individuals, it can be reassuring knowing their caregiver has journeyed that road before.

Between 60 and 80 percent of dementia cases are due to Alzheimer’s disease and approximately 10 percent of all people over the age of 65 are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The progressive nature of this disease and the wide range of possible cognitive and behavioral changes, such as memory loss, depression, and agitation can make caring for adults with AD challenging.

Other common types of dementia can present challenges that are distinct from those that present with Alzheimer’s disease. For instance, people with Lewy body dementia, which affects some 5-10 percent of dementia cases, commonly experience sleep disturbances and visual hallucinations in the early stages of their disease.

ALS is a progressive neuromuscular disease that can rapidly cause a number of physical changes, such as difficulty with mobility and communication. Oftentimes, individuals are diagnosed in their 40s and 50s. Tandem caregivers can support in-home care for ALS with a range of specialized skills as the disease progresses.
