Dementia Care
Care that understands memory loss
Dementia changes everything — how your loved one thinks, communicates, moves through the day. People with dementia fall two to three times more often than other seniors. Our caregivers are trained to meet them where they are, with patience, safety, and the specialized awareness that keeps falls from happening.

What your caregiver does
Every visit is guided by a care plan tailored to your loved one's needs.
Why families choose Haven at Home
Our caregivers receive specialized training in dementia behavioral approaches — not just general caregiving certification.
Consistency matters more for dementia patients than anyone. A familiar caregiver knows what the good days look like — and catches the subtle changes that signal a bad one coming.
People with dementia fall 2–3× more often than other seniors. Our caregivers are trained in the supervision and fall prevention strategies specific to memory loss.

Common questions
My parent with dementia doesn't want a "stranger" in the house.+
This is almost universal. We start slowly — short visits, with family present. We position the caregiver as a "friend" or "helper," not a medical professional. Most people with dementia warm up once there's familiarity.
What stage of dementia do you support?+
All stages — from early memory loss where the need is primarily safety and companionship, to late-stage dementia where full personal care is required.
What about nighttime wandering?+
We offer overnight care, both sleeping (caregiver available if needed) and awake (active monitoring through the night). For significant wandering risk, we typically recommend awake overnight care.
How do you handle aggressive behavior?+
Our caregivers are trained in de-escalation and redirection. We approach behavior as communication — something is wrong, and we need to figure out what. We don't confront or restrain.
What if my parent doesn't recognize the caregiver each time?+
This happens in moderate to advanced dementia. Our caregivers are trained to re-introduce themselves gently, every time, without making it uncomfortable. Consistency still matters — even if your loved one doesn't remember, they often have a sense of familiarity.
