Each local Caregiver is highly trained, licensed, and insured to carefully assist with dementia care, adjusting the plan as conditions change.

How Does Dementia Impact Daily Life?

With nearly 10 million new diagnoses each year, dementia affects around 50 million people worldwide.

There are several diseases that cause dementia, such as:

• Vascular
• Huntington’s
• Parkinson’s
• Frontotemporal (FTD)
• Creutzfeldt-Jakob
• Alzheimer’s
• Lewy Body Dementia (LBD)

Dementia is an umbrella term that covers these diseases. Though each of these illnesses manifests differently in everyone, there are warning signs to keep an eye out for.

Common signs and symptoms of dementia include:

• Memory loss
• Decline in executive function abilities
• Loss or impairment of basic motor skills
• Unusual sleepiness or lack of concentration
• In some cases, visual hallucinations are not uncommon

Any form of dementia changes the thinking process and disrupts daily life. Understanding how individuals progress and engaging strategically helps to promote successful independence. That’s why we’re here.

Benefits of Professional Dementia Care Services

Understanding the underlying diseases and symptoms of dementia is critical during these times. Every situation is different. That’s why Homewatch CareGivers of Yuma trains rigorously on creating a holistic care plan and monitoring progress. It’s important to encourage involvement and build a familiar relationship that your loved one can trust.

We carefully match clients with Caregivers based on condition and skill level. But equally important is finding a match based on similar interests – things like music, crafts, shared history, etc. Our process is different than other caregiving companies in our focus on the person as a whole.

Every Caregiver receives background checks and a minimum of 12 hours of annual training to stay proactive on the industry best practices. For your peace of mind, we also conduct in-person quality assurance visits every 90 days.

Our unique plan of care and home safety audits help ensure:

• Total safety for your loved ones in and around their home
• We are engaging them in empowering daily tasks
• Assistance is given at the right time to avoid frustration
• Coverage for monitoring possible triggers like temperature, noise, or lights
• We are adjusting daily routines based on the need for rest or silence
• Family members receive the respite they need to avoid burnout

Our services are never one-size-fits-all. Get in touch today to discuss your unique needs and how we can help relieve your stress. Though we have the support from a national brand offering home care for nearly 40 years, we’re local to the Yuma area. This allows for easy scheduling on your terms. We’re dedicated to giving back to our community in the best way we can – respectful and compassionate in-home care.
