Home care for seniors with dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, is a sort of in-home care that is especially created to offer support and help. This kind of care can involve a wide range of services, including both medical and non-medical care, such as monitoring health problems and providing care with everyday tasks.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease in 2021. In 2021, an estimated 16.1 million family and friends provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.
"Home care is not just about providing medical care, it's about providing a sense of home and a sense of family."
Help with everyday tasks and other non-medical home care services are often not covered by Medicare. However, if it is determined to be medically necessary, it might cover some medical services, such as skilled nursing care. For further information, it’s crucial to check with your specific plan and speak with an expert.
"The best care is care that is given by someone who cares."
Mrs. S, an 85-year-old woman, has had Alzheimer’s disease for a number of years. She has been living alone in her home since her spouse passed away a few years ago. She struggled more and more to manage her everyday tasks, such as getting dressed, taking a shower, and preparing meals, as her illness worsened.
Her daughters decided to engage a home care agency to give her the support she need since they were concerned for her safety and well-being. They met with the agency to discuss their mother’s needs after deciding on a neighborhood agency that specialized in Alzheimer’s home care.
Mrs. S was given a caregiver by the agency who had training and expertise living for elderly seniors with dementia. She received non-medical care from the caregiver, such as companionship with daily tasks, emotional support, and company. She kept a close eye on her health and informed her kids or the medical staff of any changes or problems.
The knowledge that their mother was getting the care she required and that they could sleep soundly knowing she was secure brought relief to Mrs. S’s children. They also valued the respite care that the in-home care gave them, which allowed them to relax from their caregiving duties and refuel.
Overall, Mrs. S and her family found that home care was a terrific option since it allowed Mrs. S to remain in her own home and keep her independence and dignity while simultaneously giving her family’s caregivers the support and respite care they much needed.

Home care for elderly seniors with Alzheimer’s disease can benefit the senior as well as their family. Seniors might benefit from in-home care by extending their time living in their own homes, which can bring familiarity and comfort.
Additionally, caregivers can offer companionship and emotional support, which can be particularly crucial for those with dementia.
Home care can also lessen the need for hospital stays and ER visits, which can be upsetting and disturbing for both the senior person and their family.
