Dementia Care Services
Alzheimer's disease is a type of
dementia, but not all dementias are Alzheimer's disease. If your loved
one has been diagnosed with dementia, vascular dementia, sudden-onset
dementia, Lewy Body Disease (dementia with Lewy bodies) or any other
type of cognitive impairment, we can help. A professional CAREGiver from
Home Instead Senior Care of St. Augustine, FL can help your loved one with
dementia stay safe and happy at home.
A few of the benefits of professional dementia care:
-
Caregiving just when you need it. In the early
stages of dementia, people may only need wake-up or tuck-in services.
As the disease progresses, we will work with you to expand care to meet
your loved one's need and budget.
-
Respite. Dementia can take a toll on family
caregivers. Our professional CAREGivers will provide compassionate care
to your loved one while you take some much-needed time for yourself.
Schedule one day a week "off" for yourself, or take a weekend getaway to
refresh and recharge your energy. Meanwhile, you can be assured your
loved one is secure and well cared-for at home.
-
An expert knowledge base at your disposal. As
your family member's dementia progresses, you may have a lot of
questions about what is 'normal' behavior. Our CAREGivers can share
their wealth of knowledge and experience with you to ease your mind.

Parkinson's disease is the most common neuro-degenerative disorder in

Independent living. Our in-home assistance
keeps your loved one at home. Our specially trained CAREGivers can help
