Patients with dementia require mindful care with special in-home assistance for their unique condition. Dementia isn't a specific disease but a group of symptoms that impact memory, judgment, and social interaction. It's often associated with Alzheimer's disease, which accounts for between 60% and 80% of cases.
Our in-home dementia care can include all the companion and personal care elements discussed above. However, if your loved one has dementia, we'll make special accommodations to ensure our services are comfortable and practical for them. These measures include preventing wandering, tracking health symptoms your relative may not remember to report, ensuring they don't forget to eat, and diligently providing medication reminders.
Navigating the end of life can be challenging for you and your loved one.

In North Carolina, the hospital readmittance rate is over 14%. Our supportive adult life programs in Hickory, North Carolina, which include Ready, Set, Go Home, reduce hospital readmissions and help patients transition successfully to their home environment after an extended hospital stay. This program begins with personalized care in the hospital. Our caregivers get to know patients before they're discharged so they can fully understand their needs, establish a trusting relationship, and prepare them for the transition.
During the initial weeks after the discharge, our caregivers offer additional daily living support. If your loved one has had a hospital stay, we'll assist them in relearning essential skills — in new ways if necessary. We'll help them comfortably navigate their living space and accomplish crucial tasks, even if they have new mobility limitations. Finally, we'll coordinate with senior care specialists to assess the transition, determine when your family member no longer needs this program, and receive satisfaction that there's no risk of readmission.
