Understanding Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
What you should know
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, a group of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's is progressive — it worsens over time — and currently has no cure, though medications and care strategies can temporarily slow symptoms and improve quality of life.
Caring for someone with Alzheimer's at home is both a gift and a challenge. As the disease progresses, patients need increasing help with medications, meals, personal hygiene, mobility, and safety. Caregivers — usually family members — often experience burnout, isolation, and their own health decline.
Our home health team supports both the patient and the caregiver. Skilled nurses manage medications, assess cognitive and physical status, and coordinate with neurologists. Physical therapists work on mobility and fall prevention (patients with dementia are at high fall risk). Speech therapists address swallowing difficulties and communication strategies. And we educate caregivers on behavior management, safety measures, and self-care.

Common questions
Alzheimer's & Dementia Care — Common Questions
We provide skilled medical services that complement daily caregiving: medication management, therapy to maintain physical function as long as possible, swallowing assessments to prevent aspiration, and caregiver training on the specific challenges each stage of the disease brings. We're the medical team that comes to your home.
There's no wrong time to start, but earlier is generally better. In early to middle stages, we focus on maintaining function and educating caregivers. In later stages, we manage the complex medical needs (swallowing, skin integrity, medication management) that arise. Many families start home health after a hospitalization or when they notice a significant change in function.
