What is Alzheimer's Disease?
A specific form of dementia, Alzheimer's disease is a fatal brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. According to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, as many as 5.1 million Americans may have Alzheimer’s disease. A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease can be frightening and devastating to an individual and their loved ones, but there are some steps you can take to make it through - especially with in-home care for Alzheimer's.
While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, there are treatments and therapies that can slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve the quality of life for those with the disease and their caregivers. If you suspect your loved one is showing symptoms of Alzheimer’s, it is extremely important to be proactive by getting them to their physician, and if a diagnosis is made, to get a care team and plan in place as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Alzheimer's Disease
Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of cases. Dementia encompasses symptoms like memory loss, confusion, and behavioral changes, while Alzheimer’s is a specific progressive brain disease that worsens over time.
Our in-home senior care services specialize in supporting individuals with dementia or Alzheimer’s, ensuring they receive personalized care in the comfort of their own home.
Managing challenging behaviors involves understanding the underlying causes and responding with compassion. Our caregivers:
- Use calming and redirection techniques to reduce agitation
- Implement safety measures, such as securing doors and modifying the home environment, to prevent wandering
- Provide reassurance and maintain a structured routine to minimize confusion
- Equip families with coping strategies to better understand and address these behaviors
These strategies are an integral part of our in-home senior care approach.
Engaging activities help stimulate the mind and improve quality of life. Examples include:
- Memory games, puzzles, and card games to support cognitive function
- Arts and crafts projects for creativity and self-expression
- Music therapy to evoke positive emotions and memories
- Gentle exercises to promote physical well-being
- Brain games, including jigsaw puzzles and video games
We also focus on activities that align with the individual’s personal interests to make their daily experience more enjoyable.
Our RN's develop tailored home care plans (that our caregivers implement) based on the client’s specific needs, health conditions, and personality. Since dementia and Alzheimer’s are progressive diseases, these plans are regularly updated to accommodate changes in the individual’s condition. This ensures the in-home senior care provided remains effective and meaningful over time.
The cost of personalized in-home senior care varies based on several factors, including the level of care required and the results of a thorough assessment conducted by a Registered Nurse (RN) before starting services. We understand that navigating care options and their associated costs can feel overwhelming, which is why we’re here to guide you through the process with empathy and understanding.
To provide you with an accurate estimate tailored to your loved one’s needs, we offer a complimentary consultation. Call us at (703) 530-8811 or fill out our online inquiry form to start your journey toward compassionate, personalized care.
