Dementia Care Services
What exactly is dementia disease care?
Dementia, in general, is defined as a deterioration in the mental capacity that is severe enough to interfere with a person’s everyday life, such as memory loss or an inability to accomplish daily activities. Alzheimer’s is the most prevalent kind of dementia, accounting for 50 to 80 percent of all instances of dementia. Dementia care is a specialized support system developed to assist persons living with dementia. Caregivers offer expertise and training in caring for someone with dementia by concentrating on their remaining talents and qualities while aiding with chores that have become harder for the client.
Covenant Caregivers offers specialized Dementia home care support services for your elderly loved ones who are suffering from early-stage, mid-stage, or late-stage dementia. Our caregivers provide competent care to help our clients enjoy a comfortable life as they age, all the while staying at home. We also make it possible for family caregivers to have a well-deserved respite.
The well-being of a loved one who has been diagnosed with dementia depends largely on the presence and support of family and friends and the familiarity of their environment. As time goes by, your elderly loved one may be compelled to rely on family caregivers. You may even have to face the fact that you might need to place them in a memory care program or nursing home.
Covenant Caregivers is here to offer you all the support that you need with our dementia home care services. Our caregivers provide exceptional Dementia Care Services and assistance for families dealing with dementia in the most compassionate way. You are assured that your loved one gets the proper care laid out for them, and you get a chance to attend to your other responsibilities and a much-needed respite to look after your well-being simultaneously.
The Benefits of One-on-One Dementia Care
The following are some of the advantages of tailored, one-on-one dementia care offered by a certified in-home caregiver:
- All the attention & care your loved one requires – at no extra cost
Covenant Caregivers can give the personal attention your loved one requires without adding unnecessary costs. For example, if you or other family members can care for your loved one most evenings and weekends, an in-home caregiver can be hired throughout the week to save money. In-home care also promotes freedom by assisting care recipients with everyday chores such as cooking, self-care, and food preparation.
- Favorite hobbies in a familiar setting
Although nursing homes often provide a variety of activities for elderly persons, they do not allow them to participate in everyday activities at home. As your senior continues with home-based activities that provide cognitive assistance, an in-home caregiver can provide one-on-one help.
- Adaptability to your loved one’s evolving demands
As your loved one’s health evolves, the Visiting Angels team will assess their care plan and make changes to ensure your loved one receives the finest personal care possible. Suppose your loved one is getting increasingly anxious at night. In that case, their care plan might be modified to include nighttime care, bathing assistance, and extra safety precautions to avoid straying.
- Learning about your loved one’s personal preferences
An in-home caregiver will learn about particular choices that create a sense of comfort and security and understand your loved one’s specific care needs. Caregivers will also learn about their loved ones’ preferences, such as their favorite television shows, music, and activities that might help them stick to routines.
- Care and communication tactics that are tailored to the individual
The caregiver for your loved one will use personalized communication and care tactics to overcome hurdles and develop a relationship that will allow them to meet your loved one’s requirements for personal care and companionship. Caregivers at Visiting Angels have trained in several elder care tactics and communication approaches, allowing them to converse effectively, assist with various light housekeeping duties, and safely offer dignified personal care.
- Choosing the Best Caregiver
Covenant Caregivers enables you to select the caregiver most matched to your loved one’s specific care requirements based on their abilities, strengths, and availability. Select Your Caregiver will offer your loved one the constant, dependable care they require to feel safe and secure and provide you with peace of mind.

Covenant Caregivers are here to help make the process as smooth as possible for you.
