What is Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care
Alzheimer’s is a degenerative condition that damages brain cells while impairing memory, thinking, and behavior.
Alzheimer’s illness worsens over time, creating new challenges for caregivers. Preparation can be aided by knowledge about the stages of Alzheimer’s disease and the symptoms that go along with them.
Alzheimer’s disease has three stages: mild, moderate, and severe.
Caring for a family member or friend with cognitive difficulties is demanding. The task becomes even more difficult if you are doing it alone. Despite doing all the right things, it may seem that you are doing them wrong. The stress drains you physically and emotionally.
If you’re doing it by yourself, it’s even tougher. At times, it can feel like you’re battling both the disease and the person. They need a sense of normalcy, but they don’t always act like they want it. Even when you’re doing everything right, it can feel like you’re doing everything wrong. It drains you emotionally and physically.
Instead of worrying about a loved one’s bad days, we aim to help you enjoy precious moments with them. Ultimately, we want to be your support system, so you don’t have to do it alone.
Stay in Home care offers a custom-made care plan with a combination of personal care, companionship and respite care for you and your loved ones.

Dementia cases are caused by Alzheimer’s disease, which largely affects short-term memory and language.
One of the diseases that is least predictable is vascular dementia. It is brought on by numerous small strokes over an extended period, and it can lead to abrupt changes in behavior, judgment, and abilities.
The third most common type of dementia, low-body dementia, can result in vision issues, delusional thinking, and significant balance and walking issues.
Progressive nerve cell death is a hallmark of frontotemporal dementia, a group of brain diseases. It can lead to changes in behavior and impulse control as well as verbal issues and disinterest.

When you see your loved one’s memory decline and abilities deteriorate, caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia can frequently seem like a collection of grieving experiences. The dementia patient will alter and behave in new, occasionally uncomfortable or disturbing ways. These adjustments may come with an emotional punch of confusion, anger, and sadness for both caregivers and their patients.
Your loved one’s needs will increase as the disease progresses, and your caring duties will get harder. At the same time, your loved one’s capacity to express gratitude for all your efforts will decline. It might truly feel like a thankless job to provide care. Nonetheless, for many, the journey of a caregiver contains not just difficulties but also several wonderful, life-affirming pleasures.
