A Home Instead Care Pro with an adult.

Featured on:

For Norfolk and Columbus, NE families, Alzheimer’s & dementia support starts at home.

The familiarity of home can make all the difference for older adults dealing with memory loss. Maintaining routines, relationships, and structure can not only ease confusion, reduce anxiety, and support memory, but aging at home can also help support independence and dignity.

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


We have experience with:

  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Frontotemporal Dementia
  • Lewy Body Dementia
  • Mild Cognitive Impairment
  • Parkinson’s Disease Dementia
  • Vascular Dementia

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.

  • Activities of Daily Living
  • Toileting
  • Cognitive Engagement
  • Bathing and Grooming
  • Meal Prep
  • Transportation

In-home memory care FAQs

Yes. Home Instead provides individualized support for people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias throughout the territory, including rural communities when staffing is available.

Care can include companionship, familiar activities, meals, personal care, mobility assistance, respite, and more extensive schedules as needs change.

For rural families, local support can also help when adult children live far away or when access to other services requires significant travel.

Often, it’s built around simple, familiar things. A Care Pro may look through photographs, reminisce over a scrapbook, prepare a familiar meal, hold a client’s hand, or gently guide them through personal care and everyday routines.

Our Norfolk and Columbus team has created photo scrapbooks for clients as a way to encourage engagement and connection.

The activity itself matters less than knowing the individual well enough to understand what feels familiar and meaningful to them.

Yes. One local client received Home Instead support for about four years as her needs and living situation changed—from her farm home to assisted living and eventually memory care.

The setting changed, but familiar one-on-one support remained part of her care.

That experience illustrates why dementia support doesn’t have to be limited to one stage or one residence. The care plan can change as the person’s needs change.

Potentially, yes. Home Instead has provided one-on-one support in local care communities including The Heritage at Fountain Point, Kinship Pointe, and The Heritage at Meridian Gardens.

A Care Pro can supplement the services available in the community when additional individualized companionship or assistance is appropriate.

Yes. A Care Pro can maintain the person’s familiar routine while the family caregiver works, attends appointments, runs errands, or simply has time away.

The visit might include companionship, meals, personal care, meaningful activities, or other assistance in the customized care plan.

Activities are adjusted around the person’s current abilities and interests rather than expecting them to participate in something that no longer fits.

That could mean conversation and outings earlier in the journey and simpler familiar activities, photographs, music, or sensory engagement as needs change.
