Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Cognitive Change
No matter the cause, conditions that result in a change of mood, memory or the thinking process are especially tough. When these are associated with aging, we often call them “Alzheimer’s,” but in reality, Alzheimer’s is just one of many different disorders of the brain.
Caring for a family member or friend with cognitive difficulties is demanding. If you’re doing it by yourself, it’s even tougher. At times, it can feel like you’re battling both the disease and the person. They need a sense of normalcy, but they don’t always act like they want it. Even when you’re doing everything right, it can feel like you’re doing everything wrong. It drains you emotionally and physically.
We believe that it doesn’t have to. Our approach is about helping you reclaim precious moments with your loved one, so instead of worrying about their bad days, you can celebrate their good days. Most of all, we want to be there for both of you so you don't have to do it alone.
Right at Home offers a customized care plan with a combination of personal care, companionship and homemaking, and just as importantly, we can provide respite care for you and your other loved ones.

Four Ways We Can Help
1. Building Normalcy
Reducing stress for someone with Alzheimer’s means being
consistent. We can help you and your friend or family member create and stick to
a routine, and we can do it in a way that meets their particular needs.
This includes:
This includes:
- Making sure the home feels familiar to them
- Giving them the freedom to move about unrestricted in the home
- Minimizing stresses that can aggravate the symptoms of cognitive change
- Keeping them oriented with daily reminders of time, place and person
2. A Helping Hand
Along with a specialized cognitive care plan, Right at Home caregivers also provide general companionship to your loved one, including helping with daily tasks and protecting them from isolation or loneliness.

3. Keeping Them on Track
People with dementia may have specific, strict medication regimens. In some cases, this could require the services of a skilled nurse. Fortunately, in some states, many of our caregivers are also trained nurses, so you can rest assured the person’s needs will be met.

4. Giving You a Break
Since you carry a heavy burden as a caregiver of a person with dementia, it’s important to have a break. We can help with that, too, giving you much-needed rest and time off so you can focus on your own needs.

"Harpreet and her team of care givers are amazing! They are professional, compassionate, clearly experienced, and easy to contact with questions and changes.
As my mother-in-law's health has declined shockingly fast and referred to hospice care at home, Harpreet has been available and hands on in helping us get even more help set up. We gave her a request to change from 3 times/week care to 24/7 care on a Saturday evening, which she was able to handle smoothly within a few hours.
Additionally Harpreet offers expert guidance around care giving as you transition into palliative and/or hospice care, which can be an overwhelming and confusing time.
I highly recommend Harpreet and her team as they will care for your loved ones as their own.

"Right at Home services are unbelievable. I would call it a second life for my elderly father. Their caregiver team is much beyond a companion. They motivated him to schedule his future doctor appointments and accompany him to these appointments where years back he had stopped seeing his doctors. When I last visited him, I could call his house a home where things were all set up the right way compared to where he had lost interest in living a healthy life.
I am so thankful to see him on a consistent schedule. Harpreet and the caregivers have been on top to make sure supplies and other stuff that was needed so that it could be delivered in a timely manner. Thanks for the great efforts. It's making a big difference in the lives of people.

"This home care is truly EXCELLENT! I was bombarded by countless companies wanting to serve our needs for our father but I decided on "Right at Home". Harpreet, who supervises the care and facilitates the transition and communication, is very patient, intelligent and flexible. The company is very lucky to have her! She made it very easy to talk to about our aging father. She was even available to discuss options and times etc way after work hours. The caretaker, Sonia, was terrific. My father isn't easy and can be quite bossy and I saw that Sonia was kind but firm which was perfect. I was impressed with how easy it was set up home care. We are going to continue to use Right at Home for our father!"
