Dedicated Dementia and Alzheimer’s Home Care

Thoughtful Care ™ is a specialized private duty agency focused on the care and comfort of families with a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. We believe in the principles of Person Centered Care:

• A quality initial assessment, involving both family and the person we are caring for. This assessment must include the life story of the person, which gives us direction when designing a plan of care. Furthermore, there must be regular re-assessment of the care plan and its ongoing effectiveness.
• An emphasis on effective communication with the person, understanding that there are many ways to communicate. We recognize that communication becomes more difficult as the disease progresses, so we will suggest speech specialists when appropriate.
• Access to other services is critical to the happiness of those with dementia. We will recommend specific services to the family as we see needs develop. These services could include home health, psychiatric, nutritional, legal and home design planning.
• Attention to mental and physical well being is very important, and we work closely with family and the person to design activities that strike a balance between stimulating and calming.
• Caregiver support and development are crucial to our success in providing care for the person. Our caregivers are encouraged to be creative and proactive in their daily care routines. They are taught the principles of person centered care and how to use them in their daily work.
• Proper care setting design is an often overlooked facet of person centered care. We believe that the home environment must be adapted to fit the needs of the person needing care. We recognize that the home environment will have to change as the disease progresses, and we will make suggestions to the family on how best to accomplish that.

We believe that by asking for help for your loved one, you are taking the first steps in healing the entire family. By dedicating ourselves to the specific needs of those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and dementia, we provide an unmatched level of care in the comfort of the home.

The caregivers employed by Thoughtful Care™ have many years of experience and training in Alzheimer’s and dementia care. They are fully insured and bonded, and we perform thorough background checks. Our families are relieved of the concern that private caregivers may not be covered by insurance and bonding, and often remark, “I wish we would have contacted you earlier!”
