Gainesville At-Home Memory Care Caregivers Support Seniors Facing Dementia

Dementia is a heartbreaking thing for both those suffering from it and their family and friends. While there might not be a cure, there are ways to slow its progression and to make life more meaningful and less distressing for patients.

What Can The Carers Help With?

The agency’s caregivers help seniors with the essentials of daily life – from personal hygiene and practical domestic assistance with meal preparation and household chores to emotional support and companionship.

“We understand that personal care may be embarrassing or even demeaning,” a spokesperson says. “Our caregivers are dedicated to giving the care you require without sacrificing your dignity as an individual. They will help with personal, physical needs while maintaining a sense of honor and respect for you as an individual.”

Care Burden

Florida has over 579,000 residents who are currently living with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. According to a report by the Alzheimer’s Association, family and friends of those afflicted provided over one billion hours of unpaid care to loved ones with many of these individuals reporting negative long-term effects on their own mental and physical health.

If you’re looking after a family member with dementia but you’re struggling to balance life, work, and a million other things, Ovation can step in and give you peace of mind that your elderly relative is being well looked after when you can’t be there.

Home Care Or Care Home?

While care homes are an option for some people, the unfamiliarity of a new residence can cause greater confusion and stress for dementia patients. Ovation’s at-home care programs preserve the important connections between patients, their homes, and the memories contained there.

Repetition and routine might seem stifling when you’re younger but for dementia sufferers sticking to daily routines in a familiar space with friendly faces really helps reduce anxiety.

Brain Training

In addition, Ovation’s caregivers can help organize activities that stimulate the brain and slow the progression of mental decline. Studies suggest that everything from crossword puzzles, painting, and playing a musical instrument to crafts, knitting, writing, and days out can all help reduce anxiety and maintain cognitive function.

You can schedule a complimentary, no-obligation consultation with a member of the Ovation team to discuss if dementia home care is right for you and your loved one.
