Managing Memory Care & Support
For individuals who have dementia, safety and comfort require planning and effort. Many people with dementia prefer to live at home in a familiar environment, but they also need help to address the challenges they face due to memory loss. Dementia Friendly America recognizes us for our team of trained, experienced caregivers who understand the unique needs of people with dementia. We also help our clients to identify services in Washington, DC, for people with dementia, such as Club Memory at Sibley Hospital. Our caregivers can provide transportation and other related services to support groups offered by Club Memory.
Staying Active, Staying Safe
Living at home is increasingly preferred by older adults and other people who need support. However, living alone can be a health risk for people with physical or cognitive impairment. We help Washington, DC, clients tap into the available support network, including adult daycare through Iona Senior Services and other types of services through organizations like Seabury Resources for Aging, DC Villages and Capitol Hill Village Hill that can help people avoid the danger and loneliness of being home alone. Our commitment to DC residents includes offering a preferred rate to clients in communities including DC Villages and Capitol Hill Village, call us at 202-221-7503 to learn more. Our team helps our clients determine which services best fit their needs.
Making Home Safe
When we conduct a senior home safety assessment for our clients, we can include an in-depth look at the way their home is set up and advise about changes and recommendations to increase safety and reduce falls at home. From small changes like grab bars in the bathroom to more substantial changes to make a home wheelchair friendly, we offer suggestions to our clients about ways to make the home fully accessible, safe and promote independent living. We make referrals to trusted providers such as HandyPro to make these necessary changes.
