Alzheimer's Care Companions
Seeing parents age can be difficult. Dealing with Alzheimer’s disease can be absolutely heartbreaking. Many people think the early symptoms of the disease are normal signs of aging, so it often goes untreated. Although there is no known cure for Alzheimer’s, enabling those afflicted with this condition to remain in familiar surroundings can go a long way in easing the anxiety, pain and confusion that are so common with the disease.
Our Companions, Homemakers, and Personal Care Assistants are trained on how to communicate with elderly adults suffering from Alzheimer's disease. They also receive training in music and touch therapy, as well as successful strategies for caring for people afflicted with this disease.

“Eugenie kept my mother clean, safe and reminded
her to take her medications at the appropriate times; chiding her, when my
mother would hide her medications in tissues in her chair.”
—Jean C., Mashpee, MA
