Personalized Care
for Alzheimer's and Dementia Seniors
When the responsibility of caring for a family member who has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s falls on your shoulders, having the right in-home care resources and support system can help you manage the symptoms of family caregiver stress, depression and burnout. While it is an honor and a privilege to care for a cherished elder, family caregivers still need respite care for elderly loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer’s to maintain their own physical and mental health.
A dementia/Alzheimer’s parent or grandparent is usually cared for by family members and it’s estimated nearly 16 million people are taking care of an elderly loved one at home. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, about 6.9 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and this number is projected to rise by nearly 13 million.
Long-term care for dementia/Alzheimer’s sufferers is a necessity, being that it is an incurable disease that affects an individual’s cognitive, physical and functional abilities. Dementia and Alzheimer’s symptoms worsen over time, eventually limiting the aging senior’s ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs) and requiring 24-hour dementia/Alzheimer care.
Amada caregivers are trained on how to help with dementia care and other forms of Alzheimer’s, from assisting senior clients in the early stages of memory loss into the later stages of disease progression.
Trained, Compassionate Caregivers
for Non-Medical Memory Care
Our in-home care providers understand that truly connecting with our dementia/Alzheimer’s senior clients is accomplished by showing compassion. It is through an authentic, caring connection that seniors live safer, happier and more fulfilled lives. We also monitor each caregiver and regularly check-in with clients and their families to ensure that we are doing all we can to enrich their lives and support their unique needs.
Amada prioritizes Alzheimer’s education for caregivers, whose training on managing the symptoms of Alzheimer’s can positively impact your senior loved one’s quality of life and that of the family.

LET US BE THE CAREGIVER
With the support of a trained Amada caregiver, you can be free to act as a loving spouse, daughter, son, grandchild, or friend to your cherished senior. Rest assured your cherished senior will be treated with dignity as our caregivers dedicate their skills and efforts to improving quality of life.
Caring for a senior loved one is rewarding, but also time-consuming and physically and emotionally demanding. We can help families juggling work, children and other obligations. Amada provides respite care that allows family caregivers to prioritize self-care and access resources to navigate challenges.
When more support than in-home care and assistance with basic ADLs is needed, we are honored to help families identify the ideal dementia/Alzheimer’s assisted living community or private memory care home. This service is complimentary as is our guidance on funding solutions.
Amada East Bay caregivers provide Alzheimer’s home care services to assist seniors with daily activities that they enjoy and to help with necessary personal care. Because of their training, Amada caregivers know caring for a senior Alzheimer’s client requires:
- Setting a positive mood for communication and interaction through body language and tone of voice.
- Limiting distractions, easing frustration and demonstrating patience for someone with memory care challenges.
- Redirecting the aging senior Alzheimer’s client who becomes upset and responding with warmth and reassurance to reduce anxiety or confusion.
- Creating an environment of safe home care for the senior with Alzheimer’s that will limit wandering and reduce its dangers.

Taking care of an aging loved one with Alzheimer’s at home can be a serious financial burden. Being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia does not make a senior patient automatically eligible for Medicare assistance. The costs of in-home memory care or an assisted living community at first may seem intimidating to many families.
You can rely on the extensive experience of an Amada senior care advisor to provide guidance on financial help for our senior clients diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s. We help clients and their families make full use of all benefits available to them, including veterans’ benefits and Long-Term Care insurance benefits, and we’re pleased to offer our placement services for assisted living free of charge. Let us help your family with making financial decisions by discussing funding options for dementia/Alzheimer’s care. Please contact call us today at 510-975-3100.
