Understanding the Journey
Compassionate Support for Every Stage of Memory Loss
: A diagnosis of Dementia or Alzheimer’s affects the entire family. At Pine Well Home Care, we know that memory loss doesn't mean a loss of dignity. Our specialized care is designed to reduce anxiety, prevent wandering, and provide meaningful engagement for seniors in the Medicine Hat area. We meet our clients where they are, focusing on their remaining strengths rather than their limitations.
Our Dementia Care Approach
Behavioral Support: Gentle techniques to manage "sundowning," agitation, and confusion without the use of unnecessary restraints.
Memory Engagement: Activities designed to stimulate cognitive function, from looking at old photos to listening to favorite music.
Wandering Prevention: Constant supervision and home safety checks to ensure your loved one remains safe within their familiar environment.
Routine Maintenance: Creating a predictable daily schedule to reduce stress and help the client feel more in control.
Nutritional Monitoring: Ensuring proper hydration and eating habits, which can often be forgotten by those with memory loss.
Supporting the Family Caregiver
You don't have to do this alone. Caring for a family member with dementia is a 24/7 job that can lead to extreme caregiver burnout.
Respite Care: We provide the break you need to rest and recharge, knowing your loved one is safe.
Education & Guidance: We help families understand the progression of the disease and offer tips for communication and safety at home.
Consistent Faces: We prioritize sending the same caregivers to build a bond of trust, which is vital for clients with memory impairment.
