Dementia care involves the use of prompts and cues to drive behavior for people with dementia. Seniors Helping Seniors® Bethesda provides premium dementia care that improves quality of life and provides family members with peace of mind.
Overcoming Resistance:
People with dementia typically deny their condition and resist care. Seniors Helping Seniors® Bethesda is adept at gently overcoming these obstacles. Our unique approach to homecare allows us to work around this resistance — our mature and sophisticated caregivers are perceived as peers rather than caregivers. We regularly work with clients that previously rejected caregivers from other agencies or were otherwise dissatisfied with service from other agencies.
Specialized Training and Clinical Support:
We enroll all caregivers in a specialized dementia care training that was recognized by the
Alzheimer’s Association. Our supervisory team also provides ongoing guidance and support to
help navigate the difficulties of dementia care. The supervisory team includes a psychiatric nurse
and a Certified Senior Advisor®.
FAQs:
How does dementia care differ from ordinary homecare?
Dementia care incorporates ordinary homecare services, but also involves specialized
enhancements. These enhancements vary depending on the progression and
manifestations of each individual’s disease. Some examples of specialized enhancements provided
by Seniors Helping Seniors® Bethesda include:
- Comprehensive Safety Supervision: To prevent wandering and ensure safety in a secure
environment. - Management of Daily Activities: Including personalized routines and coordination with
healthcare professionals.
Moreover, our mature and sophisticated caregivers can help with more complex life
administration tasks like paying bills, managing household tasks, etc.*
* These services may exceed the scope of our standard homecare offerings.
Are there different levels of dementia care?
Yes. As the disease progresses, additional services will typically be added to compensate for the
cognitive decline. Visit our Alzheimer’s Care page to learn more about the progression of
