As dementia progresses, it can limit a person’s world, often making life outside their familiar environment difficult. Our home-based care service helps maintain a sense of normalcy and routine, enabling your loved one to cherish life’s significant moments.
Adapting to new routines and surroundings can be overwhelming for individuals with dementia. Therefore, we prioritize in-home care over residential care, allowing your loved one to remain in their comfortable, familiar settings.

Understanding Dementia
Dementia refers to a collection of progressive neurological disorders that impair the brain’s normal functioning and memory.
The brain consists of billions of neurons that communicate through chemical signals. Dementia leads to the deterioration of these neurons, impairing the brain’s normal operations.
Initially, the impact on the body may be minor, but it intensifies as the condition progresses. The symptoms experienced by someone with dementia depend on the underlying disease causing the dementia and the brain areas affected.
