Based on the symptoms and stages of your loved one, we will determine the best plan of care for you and your family.
You Are Not Alone
Our unique training program for Alzheimer’s and other dementias is part of our CARE: Changing Aging through Research and Education℠ program. Home Instead CAREGivers℠ provide the highest quality of Alzheimer’s care, changing the way people live with Alzheimer’s or other dementias.
Home Instead Senior Care worked with David Troxel, Alzheimer’s disease and memory care expert, as well as Dr. Amy D’Aprix and the Center of Aging Research Education Services (CARES) at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, to create a training program that equips CAREGivers with the latest care techniques based on sound research and experience.
Trained CAREGivers
Trained Home Instead CAREGivers bring the following skills and support to families of those with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia:
- Capturing Life’s Journey®—Gathering past stories and experiences helps the CAREGiver give comfort and customized care; all the while honoring who the senior was earlier in life.
- Techniques to Manage Behavior—CAREGivers use techniques such as giving simple choices and redirecting, allowing the senior to remain calm and safe at home.
- Encouraging Engagement—Engaging seniors throughout the day builds self-esteem, enhances physical strength and reduces behaviors that need to be managed. Using techniques and activities, CAREGivers focus on the seniors’ mind, body and soul.
- Supporting the Family—CAREGivers understand the struggles and challenges that accompany caring for a loved one. They are trained to work closely with the family and have open communication, which results in quality care for the senior.
Home Instead CAREGivers trained through the Alzheimer’s or Other Dementias CARE: Changing Aging Through Research and Education Training℠ program have a passion and desire to work with Alzheimer’s or dementia clients, and receive ongoing classroom training.
CAREGivers receive this training in addition to a multi-phased safety and caregiving education program, so you can rest assured your loved one is with a trusted, well-qualified professional.
