Challenges with Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care

Seniors with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease often require care due to their cognitive challenges. It’s hard to notice a change in your loved one’s behavior, but typically, when someone is developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, you can tell based on their general memory loss. Signs that your loved one is developing a cognitive disease are: changes in mood, general confusion, difficulty walking and lack of conversational ability.

When a loved one is developing dementia or Alzheimer’s, it’s a natural feeling to want to help. There are millions of caregivers with little experience, just a family member or friend, who give their time every day to help their loved one. Because of this, family members or friends acting as caregivers can experience agitation, sleeplessness and general fatigue. Our team is trained to take care of your loved one and give you a break. With general day services, in-home care and transportation , we make it easy for you to get your loved one in for help. We have locations in Pickens, Greer, Greenwood , Spartanburg, Loris, Conway and Laurens SC.
