Alzheimer’s Care
Home Care Solutions provides Alzheimer’s and dementia care throughout the metro New Orleans area, offering specialized programs to help with memory loss.
Alzheimer’s disease affects not only memory, but also behavior, thinking and communication abilities. Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s can be extremely stressful for their family.
A major issue in caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease is managing common behaviors, such as wandering, refusing to bathe and outbursts of anger. When caregivers understand the cause of the behavior, they are better equip to adapt the client’s environment or adjust their own expectations to simplify life for the memory-impaired person.
Home Care Solutions Caregivers receive extensive training that includes best practices to provide Alzheimer’s care. They learn to how to apply behavioral techniques to improve the rhythms of daily life for clients and their families.
Well-trained caregivers can keep an individual experiencing memory issues mentally and physically stimulated while alleviating anxieties and frustrations.
