Why Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Matters

Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia affect more than memory—they change daily routines, relationships, and quality of life. Families often struggle with:

Wandering and safety concerns

Difficulty maintaining consistent routines

Communication challenges

Emotional stress for both clients and caregivers

At Helpmates Home Care, we focus on creating a structured, supportive environment that helps clients feel safe and valued while reducing stress for family members.

Specialized Training for Memory Care

Our caregivers receive Dementia 101 training to prepare them for the unique demands of memory care. Beyond technical training, our team emphasizes patience, compassion, and treating every client as a loved one.
