Help Maintain Your Loved One’s Dignity and Independence

Homewatch CareGivers’ trained dementia caregivers are there to help maintain your loved one’s dignity and independence. We feel it’s essential to find ways to ease the emotional frustrations that come with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia-related disorders. These difficulties don’t just affect the person living with the condition, but also the entire family. Trained caregivers bring families closer together so they all can support the person living with dementia.

Because each of our clients is unique, our dementia-care program treats them uniquely. Homewatch CareGivers customizes dementia care plans for each person and our specially-trained memory care experts understand the complexity that memory impairments can create in a home.

Every piece of information can make living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease easier. We’ve created practical and easy-to-use dementia care tips, designed to help a family caregiver adapt and cope to every changing situation for their loved one living with dementia. When Homewatch CareGivers’ Alzheimer’s caregivers help a person living with the disease the goal is not to make things harder. To that end, Homewatch CareGivers matches each caregiver specifically to each client. They go through extensive Alzheimer’s care training so they can create a peaceful environment that makes sure a client is safe and content. Our goal is to work with you to craft a home care service plan. That is the first part of a process that makes sure we directly address each individual client’s Alzheimer’s care needs.
