Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide medical dementia care?
No. We provide non-medical support focused on routine, safety, companionship, and daily living. For medical nursing or specialized dementia medical care, we can refer you to appropriate providers.
Can you prevent wandering?
We reduce risk through supervision, routine, and safety awareness. If a home is unsafe due to severe elopement risk, we’ll be direct during the consultation about what level of coverage is needed or whether additional safety measures are required.
Will we have the same caregiver consistently?
Consistency is especially important for dementia care. We prioritize stable staffing and familiar faces. We’ll explain our approach and backup plans during your consultation.
I'm the family caregiver and I'm burned out. Can you help?
Absolutely. Dementia caregiving is exhausting. Our companionship support gives you regular breaks to work, rest, or handle other responsibilities while knowing your loved one is safe and engaged. Many families use us for respite care several times per week.
My parent has Alzheimer's and gets agitated easily. Will your aides know how to handle that?
Our aides are trained in redirection techniques and understand how to work with seniors experiencing confusion, anxiety, or agitation. During the consultation, we’ll discuss your parent’s specific triggers and preferences so we can match them with the right caregiver.
What if my parent refuses help or doesn't trust strangers?
This is very common, especially with dementia. We take time to build trust and familiarity. Our aides understand that acceptance often takes several visits. We’ll work with you on the best approach during the consultation.
