Alzheimer's & Dementia Care Services in Red Oak, TX

Caring for Someone with Alzheimer's or Dementia

Contrary to popular belief, memory loss is not a natural part of aging. Occasionally forgetting a name or misplacing the car keys is normal. But significant memory problems that disrupt daily life, such as getting lost on the way home from a familiar grocery store or developing an inability to keep track of bills, may be early symptoms of dementia.

While dementia affects each person differently, everyone tends to follow a general pattern of decline defined by stages. Understanding the different symptoms and stages of Alzheimer’s can help you know what to expect as the disease progresses. It can also help you plan accordingly for the additional care your loved one will likely need along the way.

With years of experience caring for people living with dementia and supporting their family caregivers, Home Instead Care Professionals understand how difficult and emotional it can be. Our relationship-centered approach enables our Care Professionals to provide care that supports not only the family member with the dementia diagnosis, but the family caregivers providing them essential care and support.

At Home Memory Care in Red Oak for People with Alzheimer’s & Other Dementias

In-home memory care can help families at each stage of a dementia diagnosis. From understanding and respecting who the individual was before the diagnosis to identifying and avoiding behavioral triggers, our Care Professionals are specially trained to provide the support and care you and your loved one need.  Our Home Care Services can include:

Companionship Care & Home Helper Services

A visit from a Home Instead Care Professional provides cognitive stimulation and encourages physical activity.  Most seniors enjoy visits from a new friend who can help them accomplish tasks around the house or hobbies they enjoy to maintain a sense of purpose and dignity in the face of a dementia diagnosis.  

Personal Care Services

Assisting a loved one with personal care can be uncomfortable for many caregivers and the person living with dementia.  As dementia progresses, so might the need for assistance with personal care tasks like bathing, dressing and toileting assistance.  A Home Instead Caregiver can assist with reminding or cuing your loved one on these tasks and be there to provide more hands-on assistance as the need arises. 

Respite Care

A Home Instead Care Professional can provide family caregivers with a break from their caregiving responsibilities.  Whether on a regular basis or for special occasions, our caregivers ensure your loved one can maintain their routine, reducing dementia related behaviors and providing the essential care and support they need.
