Dementia Care Takes a Professional

Providing dementia care | Alzheimer's care for someone can be one of the most daunting tasks for a caregiver. In many unfortunate scenarios, an elder could be abused or neglected because the care provider is not intuitive or experienced enough. That is why we at A Family Member HomeCare Agency hold the strictest guidelines when it comes to selecting top performing home helpers, personal assistants | nurses, and senior caregivers before we send them throughout the Broward County, Palm Beach County, and Miami-Dade County to perform a variety of senior care services.

Our alzheimers and dementia care in-home helpers:

• understand that it is the disease, not the client, that is the cause of the new behavior.
• manages the client by always remaining objective and calmly communicating using patience, understanding, love, and kindness.
• must avoid attempts at bringing the client into reality by denying the Client’s delusions, or raising the voice and arguing with the client. The client has a new reality and this must be respected. The right caregiver joins the client’s new reality, validates it, but then tries to distract, always trying to maintain a safe and protective environment.

Our Hollywood and Boca Raton home care agency locations are always receiving praise for the people we bring into other people's homes. Our dementia care nurses | caregivers and companions must also be astute, creative, friendly, energetic and help bring relaxation and peace to the Clients' lives.

  1. Glad to have this here. My granddad died with parkinsons and our family struggled to care for him while bills racked. I wish we had known of the option of care home agencies but us in those times were rather ignorant then.

    1. The same thing happened to me, Patrick. My dad suffered with dementia for over ten years and our family suffered trying to care of him because we thought it was the right thing to do. If we had started with a quality home care agency, then we could have at least learned to care for him. It did take years of volunteering for me to finally know where we had gone wrong and I don't want the same for anyone else as well.
