Memory Care Inverness, IL
At Assisting Hands Home Care, we develop memory care plans that are customized for each client. We can do this by focusing on certain aspects of the patient’s life:
Client’s Background and History: If an individual is struggling with memory loss, typically they lose their short-term memory. This can make it so that the person then loses interest in conversation or becomes disengaged during conversations. We counter this by taking the time to learn about our client: their history, background, interests, and any long-term talents. This allows us to develop a true relationship with your loved one. We then use conversation to keep them stimulated.- Family Members: We will directly work with the patient’s family when developing a customized care plan. We do this because families will know the client best, which makes a substantial difference when developing an effective memory care plan.
- Kind Deliverables: When we work with patients, we do so in a loving, caring, dignifying manner. Our staff has also undergone the necessary training to provide memory care services and will use the appropriate positive reinforcement methods when providing them with care and assistance.
In-home memory care is generally seen as the preferred method of memory care because it allows the patient to remain in an environment in which they are comfortable and familiar.
At Assisting Hands Home Care, our caregivers are trained to provide patients with a safe environment that is free of clutter, crowding, and noise. We make sure to keep items that can be hazardous out of patient’s reach. Additionally, our home care professionals will encourage patients to do as many self-care tasks as they can, because this helps to maintain a level of normalcy and minimize any loss of control they may feel.
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Behaviors
Alzheimer’s and dementia patients tend to have difficulties performing everyday tasks. This is something our memory care professionals know, which is why they help with these tasks, such as bathing, dressing, cooking, and medication reminders.
Additionally, Alzheimer’s and dementia patients have been known to exhibit uncharacteristic behaviors, such as:
- General forgetfulness
- Agitation
- Wandering
- Incontinence
