St Petersburg In-Home Care Services for People Living with Dementia

In-Home Dementia Care in Gulfport, Tierra Verde, St Pete Beach, and the Greater St Petersburg, FL Area.

Dementia is often viewed as a progressive, incurable, and ultimately fatal disease, with care created based on decline and disability. At Homewatch CareGivers of St. Pete Beach, we will develop a unique plan of care that focuses on abilities and not decline, one that focuses on living as full of a life as possible. The goal of in-home dementia care is to strengthen overall well-being that can be altered as the condition progresses.

How Dementia Affects a Person

Affecting about 50 million people worldwide, with nearly 10 million new diagnoses yearly, dementia impacts every aspect of a person’s life. Dementia is an umbrella term for a collection of symptoms that can come from different diseases. All forms of dementia involve changes in the thinking process that are significant enough to interfere with one’s daily life. Over time, the affected person can experience changes in how they react to environmental stimuli, changes in executive function, and physical decline.

Types of Dementia

Dementia is caused by diseases such as Vascular, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, Frontotemporal (FTD), Creutzfeldt-Jakob, and more. Two of the most common causes of dementia are Alzheimer’s and Lewy body dementia (LBD).

Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, affecting more than five million Americans. Typically, memory and executive function gradually decline due to degenerating brain cells. Unless the individual has other diseases or illnesses, physical deterioration does not usually occur until the disease has significantly progressed and caused impairment in basic function and motor skills necessary to physical health.

Lewy Body Dementia

Lewy body dementia is another common cause of progressive dementia. Initially, individuals may experience symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, while others may have vivid visual hallucinations. Lewy body dementia may also cause unusual sleepiness during the day, blanking out, and problems with movement like trembling.
