Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best care for dementia patients?

At Ohana Care, we believe the best care is using the Best Friends Approach while receiving in-home memory care. Caregivers can support dementia patients with their daily tasks and support them through varying symptoms.

Where is the best place for someone with dementia?

The best place for someone living with dementia depends on the stage of their dementia. As a standard rule of thumb, those with dementia are encouraged to stay in their home for as long as possible, typically with a caregiver. Once memory loss starts to interfere with day-to-day tasks, it's important for patients to receive more support in senior living facilities.

What are the 7 stages of dementia?

The seven stages of dementia are:

No memory deficit
Slight cognitive decline
Mild cognitive impairment
Moderate cognitive decline
Moderate dementia
Severe cognitive decline
Severe dementia
