Dementia affects millions of people every year. It is not a specific disease, but rather a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving, and other thinking abilities. These symptoms are usually severe enough to interfere with everyday activities. When you or a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, finding the right care is the first step.
Serenity Home Care offers dementia home care and other comprehensive services. We serve clients in Multnomah, Washington, and Clackamas counties and throughout the Greater Portland and Beaverton areas. Learn more about the benefits of in-home care for dementia patients, as well as our process for providing personalized care.
Why Dementia Home Care?
When diagnosed with dementia, familiarity is critical. People with dementia are better off in surroundings they are accustomed to. Absence from familiar places, people, and things can make a dementia patient feel anxious, depressed, and restless.
Therefore, home care for dementia patients is a great alternative to dedicated care homes. It allows seniors with dementia to remain in their homes while receiving the care they need. Receiving care at home is more comfortable and less disorienting for a dementia patient than moving to an unfamiliar care facility. Furthermore, at home, aging adults feel safe and most at ease.
The effects of dementia get worse over time. As the condition progresses, daily living becomes more difficult. In its progressed stages, dementia tends to result in loss of judgment and reasoning, as well as mood and behavior changes. In-home caregivers are better situated to monitor these symptoms and evaluate the current health status of the patient.
