With a training program recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association, Home Instead Guilford is here to help you navigate the journey with confidence and compassion.

Advancing how we care for those with memory loss.
While medical research works towards treatments for memory issues like Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, there have also been advances in how we care for those living with memory loss. With guidance from Dr. Lakelyn Hogan-Eichenberger, Home Instead’s on-staff gerontologist, we’ve developed a person-centered approach to memory support, uniquely designed to:
- Care for the whole person.
- Honor your loved one’s life before their cognitive decline.
- Help them continue to enjoy activities and hobbies they love.
- Compassionately respond to cognitive and behavioral symptoms.
- Help enhance safety in the home environment.
- Review and adjust care plans as needs change.
Compassionate care begins with a thoughtful care plan.
Over the years, one thing has been clear: no two people experience memory loss the same way. That’s why we take the time to understand your loved one’s needs, routines, and story—so we can create an in-home memory care plan that truly fits your family.

In-home memory care FAQs
Memory support is often built around familiarity. A Care Pro may prepare a familiar breakfast, offer hydration reminders, help with dressing, listen to favorite music, look through family photos, take a walk, or involve the client in a simple household activity.
The Care Pro learns what brings comfort and what tends to increase confusion. Rather than constantly correcting the client, the approach is to meet the person where they are and make the day feel safer and more predictable.
A Care Pro can use a calm tone, gentle redirection, familiar activities, and reassurance. The response may change depending on whether the client is tired, worried, looking for family, or having difficulty with a personal-care task.
The family can share the routines, stories, music, or photographs that usually help. That information gives the Care Pro a starting point for building trust and reducing the sense that the client is being corrected.
Yes. A Care Pro can support routines such as showering, changing clothes, brushing teeth, and grooming. These ordinary tasks can become difficult when someone is living with memory loss, especially when the task feels unfamiliar or rushed.
The Care Pro can break the routine into smaller steps, offer choices, and use patience and reassurance. The client remains part of the process, with support adjusted to what they can comfortably do.
Yes. We can provide memory support in private homes and assisted living communities. In either setting, the Care Pro can focus on safety, companionship, familiar routines, and personal-care support.
Families can explain what the client enjoys, what times of day are hardest, and what helps the person feel settled. Those details make the visit more individual than a generic activity schedule.
