Dementia And Alzheimer’s Care
Dementia and Alzheimer’s are distinct conditions.
Dementia is a general term describing a decline in cognitive abilities, including memory loss and thinking difficulties. Alzheimer’s, on the other hand, is a specific disease affecting the brain and causing dementia. It is the most common cause of dementia.
Therefore, a person with Alzheimer’s disease experiences both Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Alzheimer’s is progressive, beginning with mild memory loss and potentially leading to a loss of the ability to communicate and respond to the environment. It gradually erodes memory, thinking skills, behavior, and eventually, the capacity to perform basic tasks.
Caring for loved ones with dementia and Alzheimer’s can be challenging and emotionally draining. It’s common to feel powerless and overwhelmed by their behaviors. At First Support Health Care, we understand the emotional toll of caregiving and are here to offer support and assistance.
Knowing how the emotional part of caring for a beloved one can be more overwhelming than the physical part, we are here to assist and support family as much as we can. Our approach is helping you to appreciate the precious moments with your loved ones instead of worrying about their bad days.
We do that by providing professional caregivers who are well trained and who have the 3 most essential skills for dealing with someone who has Dementia: empathy and time to talk, tactile skills, patience, and kindness because those are the real skills which work while taking care of someone with dementia.
We aim to provide support for both you and your loved one, so you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Our caregivers undergo specialized training to offer compassionate and supportive care to seniors with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, assisting them in maintaining cognitive abilities and enhancing their quality of life.
First Support Health Care provides personalized care tailored to your needs, offering a blend of personal care, companionship, housekeeping, and nursing care as required, all within the comfort of your own home.
