Plan the right care
Who this service is for
For families supporting someone with memory changes or a dementia diagnosis who needs consistent in-home help.
What care can include
A plan may include familiar routines, companionship, daily-living assistance, safety awareness, and family communication.
What's outside this service
In-home caregivers do not diagnose dementia, provide medical treatment, or guarantee prevention of wandering or falls. Medical concerns belong with the person's clinician.
Situations commonly supported
Repetition, confusion with daily routines, or changes in the level of help needed may prompt a family to seek support at home.
Scheduling
Discuss when support is most needed, including changes to routines or supervision. Specific hours and staffing are confirmed during planning.
Safety and quality
Share known triggers, exit risks, preferred routines, emergency contacts, and clinician guidance. Discuss supervision needs and how to respond to distress; no home-care schedule can guarantee prevention of wandering or falls.
How the care assessment works
During the free assessment, describe the person's usual day, communication preferences, changes in memory or behavior, assistance with bathing or meals, and any risk of leaving the home. The family and team can discuss a routine-based plan and when it needs review.
Caregiver qualifications and supervision
Ask what dementia-specific training the assigned caregiver has, how a consistent match is made, who oversees the plan, and how the family will report a new behavior or safety concern.
Insurance and payment
Private pay is available. Dementia-related non-medical help is not automatically covered by a diagnosis; ask the team to confirm plan participation, authorized tasks, hours, and costs.

Questions families ask
Can care be adapted as memory needs change?
Yes, contact the team to revisit the care plan when routines, safety concerns, or daily-living needs change. Medical changes should also be discussed with a clinician.
What if my loved one tries to leave the house?
Tell the team about any exit risk before care begins. Discuss home safety, appropriate supervision, and an emergency plan with the family and clinician; a caregiver cannot guarantee that wandering will not occur.
Do caregivers provide a dementia diagnosis or treatment?
No. Caregivers support day-to-day routines and safety awareness. Diagnosis, medication changes, and treatment decisions belong with a licensed clinician.
