Dementia Home Care

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, though there are many different types. Collectively, dementia is characterized by a disruptive loss of memory, difficulty completing everyday tasks at home, and problems with decision making. Within that, each form of dementia has different symptoms and progresses in its own unique way. Much like caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease, home care for patients with Lewy body dementia, Parkinson’s disease dementia, or other types of dementia requires flexibility and experience.

With Tandem Careplanning, you’ll find professional, highly vetted caregivers, who have gone through our background checks and training, and a dedicated support system that is available 24/7. If you are a partner, family member, or close friend caring for a loved one with dementia, we’re here to help. From one shift a week to around-the-clock care, we can help you find a range of dementia home care services, including personal care or companion care.

And if you’re a family caregiver, our Care Team can connect you with a network of trustworthy, professional caregivers that can provide some much-needed time for yourself. No matter what your individual needs are, or how they change, we’ll assist you in accessing ongoing care that syncs with the lives of you and your loved ones.

Challenges of Home Care for Patients with Dementia

Different types of dementia have different stages and symptoms that progress in a variety of unique ways. When caring for someone with Lewy body dementia, Parkinson’s disease dementia, or any other types of dementia, it’s important to know how to manage some common behaviors and symptoms.

This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the symptoms that can accompany different types of dementia. For in-depth medical advice or questions on how to manage dementia, consult with a health care professional. For help finding and managing great caregivers, give Tandem Careplanning a call.
