Both dementia care and Alzheimer’s care will typically incorporate memory care.

Seniors Helping Seniors® Bethesda works well with people with dementia by building trusting relationships between caregivers and clients. Our mature and sophisticated caregivers are able to work around resistance to care by approaching them as a peer rather than a caregiver, and our caregivers look the part by not wearing any scrubs or uniforms. We also provide caregivers with specialized dementia training, and care is supervised by a trained psychiatric nurse who provides guidance and insight to help navigate the difficulties of dementia care.
One of the primary benefits is the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your senior loved one with dementia and memory problems is safe and care for. Our mature and sophisticated caregivers also serve as trusted resources for distant family members. Many families have caregivers accompany senior clients to the doctor so that caregivers can take notes and report back to the family. Caregivers can also help ensure that bills get paid and assist with other semi-complex life administration tasks.
