Dementia & Alzheimer's Care

In-home dementia care is specialized support delivered in the person's own home by caregivers trained in Alzheimer's and related dementias. It focuses on dignity, safety, calm routines, and reducing the agitation and anxiety that come with memory loss.

It depends on the situation, but for most early and middle-stage dementia, staying home is better. Familiar surroundings reduce confusion and behavioural symptoms, sleep is usually deeper at home, and one-to-one attention is hard to match in a facility.

Yes. Our dementia caregivers complete additional training in person-centered care, redirection techniques, communication strategies for cognitive impairment, sundowning, and de-escalation. We continue that training throughout their time with us.

We never argue, restrain, or correct. Instead we redirect, validate the underlying feeling, and remove triggers from the environment. Most behaviours have a reason behind them, like pain, hunger, or fear, and identifying that reason usually solves it.

Consistency matters more in dementia care than almost any other service. We assign a small primary team of one to three caregivers, introduce backups slowly and ahead of time, and avoid last-minute substitutions whenever possible.

Yes. Many families need awake-overnight care once sundowning starts or when wandering becomes a safety concern. We offer overnight shifts, live-in care, and full 24-hour care depending on the home and the routine.

We assess the home for fall hazards, exit risks, kitchen safety, and medication storage. Caregivers maintain a steady routine, supervise during high-risk moments, and recommend simple changes like contrasting tape on stairs, door alarms, and clearer signage.

Yes, and this is one of the hardest moments for families. Our caregivers help you understand what is happening, find ways to connect that do not depend on memory (music, touch, photos, food), and give you space to grieve while still being present.

Often yes. Long-term care insurance, extended health benefits, and Veterans Affairs Canada commonly cover home-based dementia care. We can review your coverage during the free assessment and bill some funders directly.
