Our Dementia Care Services
We understand the challenges of dementia and its impact on individuals and families. Our caregivers undergo specialized training in dementia care to provide compassionate support and effective management of the disease’s progression.
Each situation is unique, and we are committed to offering guidance and unwavering support to families as they navigate through the ongoing changes, while ensuring exceptional care for their loved ones.
Personal Care
At Ask4Care, we know that dementia affects even the simplest daily routines. Our caregivers provide personalized assistance with essential tasks such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting, all while preserving your loved one’s dignity and independence.
As part of our in-home dementia care services, we work closely with families to develop customized care plans that adapt to the changing needs of the individual as their symptoms progress.
Medication Assistance
Managing medications can be a significant challenge for individuals with dementia. At Ask4Care, we offer comprehensive medication assistance to ensure your loved one stays on track with their prescriptions. Our trained caregivers provide reminders for timely medication intake and monitor dosages to prevent any mishaps, such as missed doses or accidental overuse.
For more complex needs, our registered nurses can administer injections, manage pillboxes, and handle other medical tasks to keep your loved one safe and healthy.
Companionship
Those with dementia often show signs of agitation and confusion as their condition progresses. People will grapple with changing realities as they struggle to remember the details of their lives. At their core, they want to feel in control of their lives, and this out-of-control feeling can cause agitation and distress.
Our caregivers provide routine companionship, which helps those struggling with dementia feel more secure. It reduces feelings of loneliness, decreases depression, and prevents social isolation. Caregivers also provide reassurance by holding your loved one’s hand or a gentle touch, letting them know they are cared for.
Wandering Prevention
While the reasons behind wandering are not entirely understood, sometimes there are patterns. Our caregivers can note these patterns and circumvent the wandering process. For example, if they note a client wandering during a specific time of the day, they may be able to associate it with an activity (mealtime) or, through conversations, discover a routine pattern (they went for walks at this time).
Noting these patterns can help them implement changes to overcome this issue, such as backing up mealtimes or going for supervised walks.
The Benefits of Having a Dementia Caregiver
Caring for dementia patients can be demanding and stressful for family members. Dementia is a progressive disease, and as time passes, family members are faced with more demands as their loved one requires more care.
With dementia caregiver support, Ask4Care’s caregivers alleviate some of the stress from family members by offering exceptional care from people who understand how dementia works.
Personalized Care
In-home dementia care provides personal care and attention customized to the person’s unique requirements. Our caregivers develop a deep understanding of their clients' routines, preferences, and triggers, resulting in an individualized approach to personal care.
Emotional Support
Empathy, compassion, and patience are essential when talking to dementia patients. Our caregivers know how to communicate effectively and minimize the agitation/confusion often associated with dementia.
As cognitive changes increase, we offer emotional support to our clients, providing the predictability and comfort they need to remain secure and in control. Our methods soothe the individual and minimize behavioural issues.
Familiar Environment
People with dementia find reassurance and comfort in familiar environments. In-home dementia care permits individuals to stay in familiar surroundings, reducing anxiety, confusion, and behavioural issues associated with the disease.
Offering a structured routine in familiar settings helps clients feel secure and in control. Structured routines involve scheduled meal times, consistent sleep, and specific activities, creating a predictable, comfortable pattern.
Safety and Accessibility
Caregivers can assess your loved one’s environment and take the initiative to keep them safe. They will eliminate fall hazards, reduce the risk of accidents, and ensure your loved one’s overall well-being. However, if an accident does occur, family members are assured that their loved ones are in capable hands.
As part of our dementia care services, we work with family members and professionals regarding notable changes in their clients’ personalities. It allows us to adjust care when necessary and to keep the family informed of the disease’s progression.
