Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Services in Sylvan Lake

Memory problems are a hallmark of Alzheimer's and dementia. Getting lost, misplacing items, difficulty with language and communication, and leaving the stove or water on are common problems.

People with dementia repeat the same thing over and over again and may perform the same tasks several times over.

We don't know why people with dementia sleep so much, but researchers speculate it has to do with the disruption of the internal clock. This can lead to "sundowning," where people with dementia become agitated and restless at night.

Agitation may be one of the more challenging behaviors for families to cope with, especially when it leads to aggression.

Isolation and loneliness can exacerbate symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Wandering and elopement can have catastrophic consequences. People with dementia become confused about their location and lose the ability to recognize familiar places. The risk of wandering and elopement can be highly stressful for families.

People with Alzheimer's or dementia often forget how and when to take medications. Our care staff can provide medication reminders, ensure compliance, and report adverse side effects.

Companionship is critically important for people with Alzheimer's and dementia. Companionship can improve communication, reduce loneliness, provide a sense of connection and belonging, and facilitate cognitive engagement.

Forgetting how to dress, bathe, cook, and perform other routine activities is a common problem for people with cognitive impairment. Our care staff can assist with these tasks and encourage clients to initiate when they can independently.

Lack of motivation can decrease activity and engagement. Our care companions can encourage diverse, safe activities.

Structured activities and a daily routine can help prevent agitation and keep people calmer and more comfortable.

We mention this above under companionship.

A safe and secure environment entails keeping the home clutter-free, locking doors to prevent wandering, and monitoring patients in the kitchen and other potentially hazardous areas.

One of the more challenging aspects of dementia care is that symptoms change over time, requiring adaptive and flexible care.

Social interaction can be challenging and stressful for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. Crowds of people can be confusing and upsetting. Having a dedicated caregiver provides the opportunity for more comfortable social interaction.

Apathy, trouble concentrating, and withdrawal can all contribute to depression. Caregivers counteract these tendencies by keeping patients engaged and interested in activities.

The comfort of receiving care in familiar surroundings can reduce anxiety and agitation.

We develop customized care plans that reflect patient needs and preferences for care.

The presence of another supportive person can provide comfort and create an emotional bond.
