When it comes to caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or dementia, Comfort Keepers® in Oshawa is here to provide the highest level of support. We understand the challenges families face as they balance caregiving responsibilities with their own lives. Our mission is simple: to help seniors maintain their independence and joy while ensuring they’re safe and well cared for at home.
Here’s how Comfort Keepers can make a difference in dementia and Alzheimer’s care:
Our caregivers are carefully selected for their empathy and understanding. They are also specially trained to assist seniors with Alzheimer’s and dementia, focusing on creating a personalized care plan that meets both physical and emotional needs. They help manage the challenges of dementia, offering reassurance and compassion throughout the day.
Caring for someone with dementia can be overwhelming, but you’re never alone. We provide family education that helps you understand the symptoms, behaviours, and progressions of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. This knowledge empowers families to make informed decisions and manage caregiving with confidence.
Comfort Keepers caregivers don’t just provide basic care—they engage your loved one in activities that stimulate both the mind and body. These activities, tailored to each individual’s interests, improve quality of life and emotional wellbeing. Whether it’s reminiscing through family photos, enjoying a favourite song, or working on memory exercises, we strive to create meaningful moments each day.
We offer a wide range of in-home services designed to meet all of your loved one’s needs, including:
We offer the latest in-home safety technologies, including medical alert systems and motion detectors. These technologies provide peace of mind, knowing that help is just a button away if needed, and that your loved one is living in a safe environment.
We understand that dementia affects each person differently, so we create an individualized care plan that evolves as the disease progresses. This ensures that your loved one’s physical, emotional, and mental needs are met, and the plan can be adjusted as their condition changes.
We also support physician-prescribed nutrition and exercise programs, ensuring that your loved one stays physically healthy and strong. Our caregivers are trained to help with meal preparation, physical activity, and adherence to any special dietary needs.
At Comfort Keepers, Oshawa, we go beyond caregiving. We can refer your family to medical professionals, local support groups, and additional resources to assist with caregiving. These resources help you navigate the complexities of dementia care while providing much-needed emotional support.
Our signature Interactive Caregiving™ approach is the cornerstone of our service. This method emphasizes personal engagement, helping caregivers form meaningful relationships with their clients. By learning about a senior’s likes, dislikes, and personal history, we tailor activities that foster mental and physical stimulation, contributing to better overall health.
Caring for someone with dementia requires flexibility, patience, and a thoughtful approach. Here are some expert tips from the Mayo Clinic on how to care for a loved one with dementia:
Comfort Keepers caregivers are trained to work with these principles in mind, helping create a nurturing environment that encourages engagement and reduces stress.
