Memory, Dementia or Alzheimer's Care

Seniors with Memory Loss, Dementia or Alzheimer's have a broad range of needs. It takes a great deal of patience and kindness to lovingly guide them through this stage of life. Enlisting the help of a senior caregiver can provide many benefits, from social stimulation to an extra set of eyes and ears in the home.

For example, as occasional forgetfulness or lack of focus starts to be more pronounced, the caregiver can report this to the family and/or the senior’s physician. This allows them to track the progression of the condition and make changes to the senior’s care as appropriate.

Seniors Helping Seniors® Southwest Florida  Nurses and Nurse's Aides also have received focused training on Dementia/Alzheimer's and Memory Loss factors and proper interaction techniques.
