What Separates our Dementia Support Services from the Rest
Dementia, unfortunately, often worsens as a person ages. In time, their ability to communicate can worsen, making it more difficult for them as well as their loved ones. Our hospice workers have been trained how to watch for the cues and what they’re trying to communicate as well as when. While every patient is different, this makes it so that our workers know how to keep a patient comfortable through utilizing many different therapies and treatments. In doing so, our team can work through any challenging behavioral issues and more to maximize your loved one’s comfort and quality of life.
Treating the Whole Person
We understand that your loved one is so much more than their dementia. Thus, we make sure to treat the entire person, to manage their symptoms so that they can stay at your home or assisted living facility. Beyond that, when we treat your loved one, we help them to find meaning in their lives, to identify their sources of strength.
Treatment that Matters
When your loved one is suffering from dementia, they may not be able to adequately communicate what they need. So, our professionals know what to look for. We have experience in determining whether or not they treat pain, or they require hydration, and similar problems. Moreover, we can help them with skincare, nutrition, and other bodily health concerns so as to keep them in their best health.
For the Entire Family
Our dementia support doesn’t just provide service to the patient, we provide service to their loved ones as well. We work with families so as to be able to help them to know the best ways to support their loved one, their loved one’s emotional concerns, and so much more. There’s no easy way to deal with a loved one who has dementia. However, our dementia support services can help in a variety of ways. Contact us to learn more.
