If you or your loved one has received a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, it’s time to consider options and make plans for caregiving. Serenity Home Care offers services in the Greater Portland-Beaverton area, including Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties. Our family-owned agency is dedicated to providing the local community with quality care. We offer several types of services, including Alzheimer’s home care.
Types of Services Available for Alzheimer’s Home Care
Serenity Home Care offers clients a mix of services, and these can be personalized for each client. Experience has shown that not all patients with Alzheimer’s have the same needs, and care needs can change over time. Maintaining residence in familiar surroundings for as long as possible helps provide comfort and routine for Alzheimer’s patients. Here are the basic services offered by our well-trained, qualified staff for Alzheimer’s and memory care clients:
Personal Care
Our personal care services include help with grooming and hygiene, including bathing and showering. We assist clients with incontinence and mobility issues, as well. Our staff can also help with transportation to appointments and running errands. Light housekeeping duties are another option.
Companion Care
Having someone stay at home with your loved one while you are away gives family caregivers much-needed support. We understand that self-care for caregivers is important to maintain energy and focus. Companion care services with Serenity Home Care include options for meal preparation, pet care, company for light exercise, and housekeeping duties, such as laundry.
Medication Management
Keeping track of client’s medications and making sure they are administered at appropriate times is an important element of Alzheimer’s home care. Our medication services assist with the organization and documentation of medication schedules. We work together with the medical team and family members, facilitating communication and assuring adherence to medical direction.
Benefits of Receiving Alzheimer’s Home Care Services
Our Alzheimer’s home care services provide many benefits for both clients and family members. Often Alzheimer’s patients are comfortable at home with long-time routines. With assistance and supervision, our clients can continue to live in a clean environment and enjoy companionship. They can persist in exercise and other activities that encourage well-being and vitality. In addition, our staff provides social interaction, as well as a conduit for maintaining friendships and social activities in the community for as long as they are pleasurable.
How to Become a Client With Serenity Home Care
The first step to becoming a client with Serenity Home Care is to schedule an in-home assessment. This is where we can get to know the client, family, and friends. It’s an opportunity to become familiar with the lifestyle, preferences, and unique needs of both you and your loved ones. All our staff members have long-term care experience and are qualified as certified nursing assistants. We can help you determine present and potential future needs, arrange a schedule, and answer any other questions.
