Dementia Care
When someone is suffering from the progressive stages of dementia, they will need support and assistance in the home. We offer the care needed to help with this process. We offer services such as walking together to provide improvement with communication skills, reminders for eating and drinking, managing sleep behavior, and other services to help as the disease advances.
As a loved one is suffering from dementia and other related illnesses, it can be a taxing time for family members. We are there to help relieve those family caregivers. Using respite care can help you feel rested and not overburdened to enable you to be a better caregiver for your loved one.
Our knowledgeable and caring staff provide specific programs and purposeful activities tailored to the individual needs to help maintain independence. We have controlled access and secure courtyards with beautiful walking paths.
