Dementia Care
Benevolent Hearts Home Care recognizes the importance of specialized care for persons living with dementia. Today’s basic care isn’t enough! Care for persons living with dementia requires trained and skilled caregivers and a plan of care to include structure, personalized activities, and a dementia care specialist to closely monitor the behavior and physical changes as the disease progresses.
Real life interactive classroom training by a PAC Certified Trainer provides a person-centered approach that will elevate the quality of life for the person living with dementia. Skill training using hospital equipment and assistive devices is supervised by a licensed RN and PT to ensure proficiency and client safety.
