Memory care–a service involving treatment for elders experiencing acute memory loss–can support those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. If you want your senior loved one to receive this treatment, you must decide whether they do so through community or at-home care. While an assisted living community provides great support for some folks, at-home dementia and Alzheimer’s support gives others such benefits as the opportunity to age in place, personalized levels of care, and individual attention.
Coastal Home Care offers excellent at-home care for its patients throughout Sussex County, DE. Our caregivers have a strong knowledge of helping elders who suffer from memory loss with competence, respect, and sensitivity. To learn more about why our patients love us, or for more information, call (302) 752-1800 today.
Below, we discuss the benefits of at-home memory care:
Aging in Place
Moving an elder to an assisted-living facility is often stressful for them, especially if they have lived in the same home for decades. Many seniors find the smaller, less private living spaces in a senior facility a downgrade.
However, seniors with early to mid-stage cognitive loss may be able to remain in their homes—or the homes of family members—with the help of a home care assistant. At-home memory care can circumvent the stresses of moving to a facility and allow your loved one to continue aging in place comfortably.
Levels of Care
In an assisted living community, patients tend to receive standardized levels of care. Moreover, since your loved one would live in the facility, they would receive consistent supervision and less privacy, no matter the level of care they require.
Home care, on the other hand, can accommodate your loved one’s needs. While home care assistants usually aren’t licensed to provide medical services, they can help with transportation and cooking for an active senior just a few hours a week. Alternatively, they can provide 24-hour care and companionship to a bedridden patient.
Individual Attention
The staffing difficulties caused by the recent pandemic created supply and demand issues in the care industry. Personnel at senior living complexes must manage a large number of residents and so struggle to provide the attention and services that personalized home care provides.
With at-home care, your loved one receives the visiting aide’s entire attention. They may use it for companionship, transportation, assistance with daily activities, housekeeping, meal preparation or delivery, and help with mail all from the comfort of their own home.
