Is It Time to Consider Professional Dementia Care?Here’s a simple checklist of things to consider when evaluating your loved one’s possible need for professional dementia care. If you are concerned, it is always best to consult a physician.
KEEPING THE COMFORTS OF HOME™
My loved one repeatedly asks the same question, even after it’s been answered.
My loved one has difficulty remembering family members, friends, or important information, such as an address or phone number.
My loved one experiences rapid mood swings for no apparent reason.
My loved one seems depressed, is unusually quiet, and sleeps more than before.
My loved one is having trouble driving, but denies it.
Suddenly, my loved one’s personal hygiene is slipping.
During conversations, my loved one struggles to remember basic, familiar words.
My loved one is displaying out-of-character behaviors.
My loved one has been found occasionally wandering around outside.
I’m not sure I can provide the level of care my loved one needs.
I’d feel better if I could talk to someone about my loved one’s condition.
The Power of HomeFor seniors with Alzheimer’s
disease or other forms of
dementia, living at home in a
familiar environment can be
helpful because it surrounds
them with memory cues that
can reduce confusion
and enhance mental
engagement. In-home
care from our specially
trained caregivers, called
Comfort Keepers®, enables
your loved one to live
comfortably and safely at
home for as long as possible.

That unique understanding will then be used to craft a custom care plan that’s tailored to your situation. Your loved one’s needs will be continually assessed and reassessed, so the care we provide can evolve along with his or her condition. This allows your loved one to get the personalized care and attention he or she deserves in the place he or she wants to be—home.
