Specialized Care Program is not specifically a disease. It is considered as an aggregate group of symptoms characterized by cognitive impairment, memory loss, and usual flaws in judgment. It occurs with certain diseases such as Huntington’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.
Although the causes of dementia are most often irreversible, it does not necessarily mean that you cannot do anything more about their condition. Your support is an essential factor that helps many Dementia patients function well for as long as possible.
There are many approaches to Dementia care, most of them, highly affective in nature. It is for this reason that family support is a significant tie one should not sever between the caregiver and the patient.
At Valley Hospice of Arizona & Palliative Care, our means is to supply the families with factual and research-based information to prepare them for the tolls of these symptoms. We also provide home support such as but not limited to:
- Companionship and Communication
- Bathing Assistance
- Dressing Assistance
- Assistance with Eating and Meal Preparation
- Incontinence
- Exercise
- Sleep Support
- Home Safety and Wandering Watch
