Why Choose Comfort Keepers^® for Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care?  

For over 20 years, Comfort Keepers has provided specialized Alzheimer’s and dementia care. We train our dementia caregivers as Certified Dementia Practitioners. 

They complete advanced education through programs like U-First! and courses from the Alzheimer Society of Canada. They also learn Gentle Persuasive Approaches (GPA), AGE, and DementiAbility Methods: The Montessori Way. This specialized training allows us to create custom care plans that promote well-being and consistency. 

Our services help seniors stay at home, reducing the need for a long term care home or other such places. We focus on enhancing quality of life through tailored daily support and positive, person-centred engagement.  

Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia: What Families Need to Know  

Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia affect memory, thinking, and behaviour. It slowly impacts a person’s ability to manage activities of daily living. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. The term also covers other conditions like vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia.  

These conditions often start with small signs like memory loss, confusion, or hardships with familiar tasks. And these signs often progress over time. Seniors may experience mood changes, confusion, or trouble with language. As the disease progresses, these challenges intensify.  

While there is no cure, early and consistent in-home dementia care can make a profound difference. At Comfort Keepers, our memory care services manage symptoms, reduce distress, and foster meaningful daily contact. This supports cognitive stimulation and emotional well-being. Our evidence-based approach helps the person living with dementia maintain their identity and dignity at every stage.  

How Our Personalized Dementia Care Plans Work  

Every senior’s journey with Alzheimer’s or dementia is unique. We begin with a thorough in-home consultation to understand your loved one’s situation, preferences, and challenges.  

From there, we develop tailored dementia care services that balance structure with flexibility. We work closely with families and health care professionals to design a plan that adapts as your loved one’s needs evolve.  

We review care plans often, making thoughtful adjustments to ensure continued comfort and safety. For example, if a senior enjoys gardening, we can add indoor planting activities to their weekly routine. This can spark joy and keep them engaged. These tailored touches make a big difference.  

Our Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Services  

Our highly trained personal support workers help seniors live with dignity and joy in their own homes. Memory care services include:  

• Nutrition and Feeding: Preparing nutritious meals and assisting with eating while respecting dietary preferences and restrictions.  

• Personal Care: Supporting grooming, bathing, dressing, and oral hygiene with sensitivity and respect.  

• Mobility and Transportation: Helping with movement and going with your loved one to medical appointments or community activities.  

• Medication Reminders: Ensuring seniors take their medications on time to support treatment and reduce risk.  

• Light Housekeeping: Managing chores like laundry, vacuuming, and organizing to maintain a safe, calm environment.  

• Companionship: Engaging in conversation, memory games, music, or activities to promote cognitive stimulation and emotional connection.  

Routines become vital as dementia progresses. Our caregivers provide consistency, reduce confusion, and promote meaningful engagement. They create activities based on your loved one’s history, interests, and strengths.  

What Makes Our Dementia Caregivers Different  

Our dementia caregivers are more than professionals. They are compassionate companions committed to making each day meaningful. Their empathy, patience, and ability to build trust set them apart.  

Comfort Keepers caregivers understand dementia care communication. This includes reading non-verbal cues, using gentle redirection, and validating emotions. We strive to assign the same caregiver to your loved one whenever possible. This helps promote a consistent routine and reduce stress for people living with dementia and their primary caregiver.  

Ongoing education ensures our team stays current with best practices and insights in Alzheimer’s and dementia. Your loved one is safe and genuinely cared for by someone who understands their needs.

By sharing care responsibilities, families can focus on spending quality time together, preserving cherished relationships, and avoiding burnout. Many families tell us that professional dementia care services improve their relationships, reduce worry, and help them rest easier.
