Do you care for a loved one with dementia from home? Have their needs outgrown your capabilities?

You aren’t alone. Many family caregivers reach the end of their rope caring for a loved one with dementia. Eventually, the needs of their loved ones outgrow the caregiver’s capacity – this is normal. 

When you can no longer care for your loved one, it’s time to ask for help.

Signs you’re at the end of your rope with dementia care:

  • Your self-care and health have declined.
  • Your relationships are suffering. 
  • Your mental health is suffering. 
  • The person living with dementia is no longer getting the care you know they need.
  • You no longer have the patience or time to deal with your loved one’s needs.
  • You’re ready to leave your loved one at the ER. 

When family caregivers reach this point, they are often afraid their loved ones won’t get the care or attention they need in a facility. This fear can keep families from getting help when it is critical. We’re here to tell you there is another option!

Home health care can offer families medical and practical everyday support so those living with dementia can remain at home. Dementia and Alzheimer’s care from home allows the family caregiver to regain their health, sanity, and relationships. 

Signs your loved one needs professional dementia care:

  • Rapid weight loss
  • Medication mismanagement 
  • Neglected personal hygiene
  • Unpaid bills and missed appointments
  • Hunched or sunken posture 
  • Bruises, breaks, or injuries 

If you are reading this, your instincts are kicking in. You know that something has to change. Don’t wait until your loved one gets worse! It’s time to act and arm yourself with information.
