What Is In-Home Dementia Care?

Dementia care offers support and assistance in the comfort of your or your loved one's home. Since this disease can lead to confusion or shifts in personality, it can greatly impact the quality of life for you or your family members.

With our in-home dementia care, individuals can remain in their familiar and comfortable private housing rather than moving to an Edmonton memory care facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should someone with dementia get in-home care?

When daily tasks become challenging, safety concerns arise, or a noticeable decline in cognitive functions affects quality of life, we recommend getting in-home support.

We understand this decision-making process can be challenging to confront. If you are unsure whether or not your parents or loved one should receive compassionate in-home care, do not hesitate to reach out. We’ll ensure you and your loved one get the help you need.

When around a person with dementia, it's important to avoid the following: 

  • Arguing or trying to reason with them based on your logic
  • Correcting their misconceptions too forcefully
  • Asking too many open-ended questions that could confuse them
  • Talking to them in a condescending manner
  • Overwhelming them with too many choices or rapid changes in environment or routine

Dementia patients often find happiness in activities that provide a sense of familiarity and comfort, such as listening to their favourite music, engaging in simple household tasks or hobbies they used to enjoy, spending time in nature, and having calm, positive interactions with friends and familiar faces.

Personalized activities that resonate with their interests and past experiences can significantly contribute to their well-being and happiness.

There are a variety of financial resources available for seniors living in Canada, including The Client Directed Home Care Program (CDHCI).

At Ohana Care, our caregivers include Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Health Care Assistants (HCAs). LPNs have completed practical nursing programs and are licensed to provide various healthcare services, while HCAs assist with basic patient care tasks and activities of daily living. Our team of caregivers is dedicated to providing compassionate and professional care to meet the needs of our clients.

Familiarity and comfort play a pivotal role in the well-being of individuals with dementia. That's why we advocate for seniors to remain in their long-term care facility or private residence as long as they are not a danger to themselves or others.

If your loved one is suffering from severe memory loss and is a danger to themselves, it may be best that they get additional support from assisted living facilities or affordable memory care facilities.

We will support those who need it when they need it. If you or your loved one needs around-the-clock care, we can ensure one of our caregivers is there to assist you.

Our services are available to residents living in their current home or independent living facility in Edmonton, Alberta, including Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Beaumont, St. Albert, and Leduc.

We have a variety of services that Ohana Care can provide, including: 

There are three stages of dementia: early, middle, and late. In the early stage, symptoms aren't usually apparent, but family members may notice telling signs. In the middle stage, commonly the longest stage, symptoms become much clearer to the individual and family members. The last stage is where the individual often needs 24-hour care.
