Dementia is a term of those experiencing impaired cognitive abilities that often leads to problems with memory, thinking, problem solving, language, and perception severe enough to disrupt an individual’s ability to perform normal everyday tasks. Many types of dementia start out mild and gradually progress to a more deteriorating stage. At some point, dementia can progress to where an individual is unable to prepare meals, keep track of items in the home, pay bills, take medications, remember appointments, and travel outside the home without becoming lost. These individuals often need dementia support and care services to help ensure their needs are met and they remain safe.

Dementia Home Care

If you have a loved one dealing with dementia in the Lander, WY area, you probably want him or her to live at home for as long as possible. However, caring for someone suffering with cognitive issues can be very challenging in various ways – including financially and emotionally.

At Anam Cara Caregiving, our dementia support services focus on safety and emotional support while establishing routines that help people navigate what can be a scary syndrome for individuals and their families. We start by communicating with the medical team and family to gather observations and direction and continue a pattern of collaboration and communication. Dementia evolves and the support an individual needs must evolve, too. As dementia caregivers, our approach to care is flexible and shifts as necessary. The goal is to help people stay at home, doing whatever is possible, including providing equipment such as sit/stand lifts. We help people maintain function, independence, dignity, and sense of self as much as possible in familiar home surroundings, while also reducing caregiver stress.
