Dementia care
Specialized care for Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Dementia changes what care needs to look like. Our team provides compassionate, individualized support for patients living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, with guidance and education for families at every stage.
How we help
Comfort and calm, for the patient and the family.
Comfort-focused symptom care
Attentive management of pain, agitation, sleep disturbance, swallowing difficulty, and infections, with the least burdensome approach.
Caregiver education
Practical guidance on communication, safety, feeding, positioning, and what to expect as the illness advances, so families feel prepared, not alone.
Care in familiar surroundings
We come to the home, assisted living, memory care, or skilled nursing facility, and coordinate closely with facility staff.
Support around the clock
Sundowning and nighttime distress don’t keep office hours. A hospice nurse is one call away, any hour.
Dignity and personhood
We honor each person’s history, culture, language, and preferences, and help families connect in the ways that still bring joy.
Grief support along the way
Families often grieve long before a loss. Our social workers and chaplains support that journey and continue for 13 months after.
When to call
Signs that hospice or palliative support may help.
Families living with advanced dementia often wait too long to ask for help. Consider calling us when you notice:
- Difficulty walking, sitting up, or holding the head up without help
- Trouble swallowing, weight loss, or reduced interest in eating
- Recurrent infections, pneumonia, or hospitalizations
- Speech limited to a few words, or little response to surroundings
- Caregiver exhaustion, physically or emotionally
A hospice evaluation is free and carries no obligation. If it’s not yet time, we’ll say so, and help you plan for the road ahead.
You don’t have to carry this alone.
Call us to talk through your loved one’s situation, or to arrange a free evaluation.
