What Does a Dementia Care Professional Do?

Our dementia care professionals play a vital role in supporting individuals with dementia and their families. They assist with personal care and grooming, ensuring your loved one maintains dignity and comfort. They provide companionship and emotional support, offering a friendly presence and a listening ear. Our caregivers help with meal preparation and feeding, ensuring proper nutrition. They offer medication reminders to help maintain health regimens. Engaging clients in memory-stimulating activities is a key part of their role, as is ensuring home safety and preventing wandering. They also serve as a crucial link, communicating with family members and healthcare providers to ensure coordinated care.

How Long Can Individuals with Dementia Live at Home?

Many people with dementia can live at home for years after diagnosis with proper support. The duration varies widely and depends on factors such as the type of dementia, its severity, the level of care available, and the individual’s overall health. At Acti-Kare, we understand that each person’s journey with dementia is unique. We adapt our care to meet changing needs, helping clients stay in the comfort of their own homes for as long as possible.

What Stage of Dementia Requires Full-Time Care?

The need for full-time care typically arises in the moderate to severe stages of dementia. This is when you might notice increased confusion and memory loss, difficulty with basic daily tasks, or safety concerns such as wandering. Changes in behavior or personality and a decline in physical health may also signal the need for more intensive care. As dementia progresses, individuals may no longer be able to manage their own care and need constant supervision and assistance with activities of daily living.

Signs that Dementia is Getting Worse

Recognizing the signs of progressing dementia is crucial for adjusting care appropriately. Watch for these indicators:

  • Worsening memory loss, especially about recent events
  • Increased difficulty in communicating
  • Struggling more with routine tasks like managing medications
  • Mood and behavior changes
  • Getting lost in familiar places
  • Loss of interest in favorite activities
  • Decline in personal hygiene

If you notice these changes, consult a healthcare provider. Acti-Kare can adjust care plans as needs change.
