Unlike standard home care, Alzheimer’s and dementia care is specialized for individuals experiencing cognitive decline. Our caregivers are trained to understand the behavioral, emotional, and safety challenges that come with memory loss. We offer structured routines, use calming communication, and apply techniques like redirection and validation to manage symptoms. Care is also focused on emotional well-being and memory stimulation using tools like music, puzzles, and storytelling. At Lasting Legacy, we don’t just help with daily tasks—we build trust, reduce anxiety, and support dignity. Each care plan is customized to the individual’s stage of dementia and personal history.

Behavioral symptoms like confusion, aggression, or wandering are common in dementia, and we handle them with calm, compassionate techniques. Our caregivers are trained in redirection strategies, environmental modification, and non-verbal communication to de-escalate stressful situations. Instead of arguing or correcting, we use gentle reassurance and validation to help clients feel safe and understood. Activities like music, simple tasks, or reminiscing can help shift focus and reduce agitation. We also keep detailed behavior logs to identify patterns and adjust care as needed. Our goal is to reduce distress and create a stable, reassuring environment every day.

Yes, we provide dementia care for individuals at all stages—from early memory loss to advanced Alzheimer’s. For early-stage clients, we focus on mental stimulation and maintaining independence. In mid-stages, we support daily activities and manage safety concerns, communication changes, and mood fluctuations. In later stages, we provide comfort-focused care, including mobility support, nutrition monitoring, and emotional companionship. Each care plan evolves as the disease progresses and is regularly reviewed with the family. Our trained caregivers ensure that dignity, respect, and comfort remain at the center of every interaction—regardless of the client’s cognitive level.

Absolutely. We understand how important consistency is for individuals with dementia. A familiar caregiver builds trust, reduces confusion, and helps establish comforting routines. We do our best to assign the same caregiver—or a consistent care team—whenever possible. In cases where more hours of care are needed than one caregiver can provide, we keep the rotation small and consistent. If for any reason you or your loved one prefers a different caregiver, we are happy to make that adjustment. Our focus is on building a care relationship that’s supportive, trustworthy, and personalized to your family’s needs.

Safety is one of our highest priorities. We perform an in-home safety assessment before care begins and regularly update it as needs change. We help families implement simple modifications like removing trip hazards, labeling rooms, and securing exits. Our caregivers are trained to supervise clients who may wander, forget to turn off appliances, or experience disorientation. We also monitor behavior and intervene early to prevent falls or agitation. In emergencies, our caregivers are trained in first aid and response protocols. With our support, your home becomes a safe and structured place where your loved one can thrive.
