Providing Dementia Care Services to West Suburban Boston, Including Needham, Newton and Wellesley
As Alzheimer’s and other memory issues take grip, many patients are forced to move away from their homes and into a medical facility that can better handle their symptoms. This change in environment can cause added stress and confusion. FirstLight Home Care of West Suburban Boston offers in-home dementia care that means that your loved one gets to stay in a place that is familiar to them while they receive expert care. FirstLight caregivers in Western Suburban Boston, Needham, Newton and Wellesley are trained to monitor their clients and adjust the provided Alzheimer’s home care services to match the client’s needs as the disease progresses.
Individualized Dementia Care
Our personalized dementia and Alzheimer’s home care is designed to focus on the client, not the disease. Our goal is the same as yours – we want your loved one to live a life of purpose.
We know how important it is to establish a familiar, stable environment for a person living with dementia. That’s why, together with your loved one, we complete a booklet that provides us with details about his or her personal history, likes, dislikes, preferences and more. We want to find out what makes them happy, frustrated or anxious as well as what activities they enjoy. We want to learn who your loved one really is, not merely view them as a person with dementia.
We also understand how overwhelming and even frightening behavior changes brought on by dementia can be for families. You want peace of mind knowing your loved one feels safe and secure and that they are receiving the same loving care you would provide for them. Our high-quality dementia care can help alleviate the burden and fear families often have while allowing your loved one to remain in their own home, which is crucial to balancing moods.
Select FirstLight Home Care locations are certified to offer premium care for those with dementia and related disorders thanks to our Compassionate Memory Care Program. This award-winning program is designed to join the journey of those with dementia by adapting the overall approach to care.
You, the family, are integral to the dementia care services we provide for your loved one. We’ll ask you to participate in finding the right caregiver match for your family and to provide ongoing feedback throughout the process.
