Types of Dementia
Dementia is the general term for when a person’s brain functions like thinking, memory, and reasoning worsen enough to impact daily life.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common dementia, making up 60-80% of cases. It involves losing memories, getting confused, and having trouble solving problems and with language.
Another type is Lewy body dementia. This dementia is caused by abnormal protein build-ups in the brain. Symptoms can include seeing things that are not there, attention span going up and down, and movement issues.
Frontotemporal dementia mainly hits the frontal and temporal parts of the brain. This can lead to changes in one’s behavior, personality, and speech.
Vascular dementia relates to blood flow problems in the brain from damaged or blocked vessels. Without enough blood and oxygen, brain cells die. Symptoms may include decreased thinking skills, confusion, trouble planning, and difficulty focusing. Memory and learning new things are challenging.
If your loved one has dementia, it’s helpful to understand the specific needs and challenges of each type. Personal care and companion services can support those with dementia. This helps them stay independent and have a better quality of life.

Our Solution
At Home Care Partners, we’re thrilled to have teamed up with Blake to offer exceptional memory care support services to David.

Our partnership with Blake has enabled our care team to provide David with the highest level of care possible while ensuring his comfort at all times. We’re continuously strengthening our relationship by keeping up-to-date with information from David’s photos and journals.
Our goal is to provide David with compassionate care that helps him maintain his quality of life and independence. We believe that our collaborative approach, combined with our team’s expertise and dedication, will ensure David’s wellbeing and happiness.

How long can a senior with Alzheimer's disease remain in their own home?
A senior with Alzheimer’s disease can stay in their own home as long as it is safe. Family Caregivers want to give their loved one the familiar setting of home for as long as possible. Here are some things to think about when deciding how long this can work:
Progression of the disease: Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, and as it advances, the senior may need more care and help. It is important to check their symptoms and talk to healthcare providers regularly to evaluate their needs.
Safety: As the disease gets worse, safety becomes very important. Look at the home for possible dangers and make changes to ensure safety. This might mean adding grab bars, removing tripping hazards, and setting up a system to stop wandering.
Caregiver support: As a Caregiver, it is important to know your limits and get help when needed. Consider the physical, emotional, and financial impacts of caregiving and talk to Home Care Partners about respite care to avoid burnout.
Available resources: Learn what community resources are available like support groups, and respite care services. These can give extra help and improve care quality at home.
When is it Time to Start Home Care Services?
When a family member notices changes in a loved one’s memory and daily abilities, it may be time to consider starting home care services. Here are some signs that in-home memory care might be needed:
Memory Loss: If a loved one has frequent memory lapses or forgets important dates, appointments, or activities, it could mean they would benefit from memory care at home.
Difficulty with Daily Tasks: If a loved one struggles to complete everyday jobs like cooking, cleaning, or personal hygiene, in-home care can give the needed help to ensure safety and well-being.
Social Isolation: If a loved one pulls away from social activities or has trouble maintaining relationships, having a Caregiver to go with them to visits and events can help them stay involved and connected.
Household Management: If it seems like housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, and other home tasks are becoming too much for a loved one, in-home care services can provide support and make life easier.
