In the sate of South Carolina alone, there are nearly 80,000 residents who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. That's enough people to fill Williams Brice Stadium! Alzheimer's Disease is among the fastest growing diseases in the state.
Alzheimer's is a progressive disease that affects memory, language and speech, and emotion and impulse control. Caring for a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer's can be a challenge. In order to provide the best care for your loved one, Home Instead Senior Care of Charleston has developed a comprehensive training program that all CAREgivers complete.
We carefully screen our CAREGivers for prior experience working with alzheimer's patients. Many have personal experience having cared for their own loved one with Alzheimer's. Each CAREGiver completes in house training on Alzheimer's and over half have completed our National Advanced Alzheimer's Certification program. You can rest assured knowing your loved one is being cared for by a trained, experienced CAREGiver who has had focused training and extensive knowledge in dealing with Alzheimer's.
The best place for a person with memory loss is in familiar surroundings. The services provided by Home Instead Senior Care are a valuable, trusted solution to help your loved one maintain a regular routine, thus enhancing his or her quality of life.
