How the plan gets built

A registered nurse visits the house and builds the plan with your family, based on your parent's specific routine and preferences, rather than a generic template.

Companionship services

Company matters a lot for mental and emotional health with dementia. A caregiver engages your parent in real activities, which cuts into the loneliness and isolation that memory loss can bring on.

Assistance with daily living

From meal prep to hygiene, a caregiver handles the daily tasks that keep some sense of normal routine going, even as memory changes.

A safer home

A safer home matters more with Alzheimer's and dementia, since confusion raises the risk of falls and other accidents. A trained caregiver knows what to look for and adjusts the house accordingly.
