Alzheimer’s and dementia touch the lives of hundreds of families across Cincinnati and Springdale.

Alzheimer’s vs. Dementia: What’s the Difference?

While often used interchangeably, Alzheimer’s and dementia are not the same. Alzheimer’s disease is a specific type of dementia that causes gradual memory loss and a decline in cognitive abilities. Dementia, on the other hand, is a broader term for a group of conditions affecting memory, thinking, and behavior. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal disorders. Understanding the distinction helps us deliver tailored care based on your loved one’s unique needs.

Creating a Safe Home Environment

When supporting someone with memory-related conditions, safety is a top priority. Our team helps families create a safer living space to reduce the risk of accidents and support daily functioning:

• Eliminate fall risks by clearing clutter, securing rugs, and improving lighting.

• Install safety features like grab bars or non-slip mats in bathrooms and hallways.

• Organize and label items for easier access and orientation around the home.

Supporting Daily Routine & Reducing Confusion

A consistent routine offers comfort and predictability for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Our caregivers help clients follow daily schedules for meals, hygiene, rest, and activities—minimizing confusion and reducing anxiety.

Preventing Wandering & Enhancing Supervision

Wandering is a common and potentially dangerous behavior. Our caregivers provide attentive supervision and suggest home safety solutions to help loved ones stay secure while preserving as much independence as possible.

Meal Reminders & Nutritional Support

Nutrition often becomes a concern as memory conditions progress. Clients may forget to eat, lose interest in food, or develop new dietary needs. Our caregivers provide gentle mealtime reminders, prepare balanced meals, and offer compassionate support during eating to help maintain overall well-being.

Emotional Support & Companionship

Alzheimer’s and dementia not only impact memory—they can also lead to feelings of fear, frustration, or loneliness. Our caregivers build trusted relationships through:

• Friendly conversation and emotional reassurance

• Participation in meaningful activities

• A calm, respectful presence that promotes dignity and confidence

Gentle Activities to Stimulate Mind & Body

Staying engaged is key to maintaining quality of life. We offer safe, stimulating activities that support both cognitive and physical health:

• Light exercise like walks or stretching

• Simple puzzles, music, or memory games

• Reminiscing and storytelling sessions
