Dementia care refers to a specialized type of care that is designed to meet the unique needs of individuals who have been diagnosed with dementia. Over 6 million individuals in the US are currently living with dementia. It is a debilitating condition that can make it difficult for individuals to perform everyday activities and communicate effectively. Many families are choosing home care as an alternative, offering essential support within the comfort of familiar surroundings. Dementia manifests differently in each person; some may exhibit early signs and symptoms, while others may be in an advanced stage, which requires specialized intervention. Accordingly, the level of care varies. Some individuals may require weekly assistance and others may need additional support through live-in care.
