Understanding Dementia's Impact
Dementia touches the lives of millions of Americans and their families. This journey can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone in navigating these challenges.
Dementia is the third leading diagnosis for hospice care referrals, affecting 15.4% of all hospice patients. Alzheimer’s disease alone affects 5.8 million Americans and is the fifth leading cause of death in adults over 65. Perhaps most telling, one in three older Americans who die each year have a diagnosis of dementia.
With compassionate 24/7 home care, your loved one can maintain dignity and comfort in familiar surroundings while receiving specialized support tailored to their unique needs.
When Your Loved One Needs Additional Support
When someone you care about has dementia, you may notice they need more help with daily activities. These changes often happen gradually, but recognizing them helps ensure your loved one receives the right care at the right time:
- Mobility challenges: They need help walking or moving from place to place
- Difficulty with daily tasks: They can no longer dress themselves independently
- Personal care needs: They struggle to bathe properly or maintain personal hygiene
- Bathroom independence: They experience bladder or bowel incontinence
- Communication changes: Their ability to speak becomes limited to just a few understandable words
These changes are natural as dementia progresses. When you notice several of these signs, it may be time to consider additional support through home care or hospice services. With compassionate 24/7 care in familiar surroundings, your loved one can maintain dignity and comfort throughout their journey
