Housen Homecare cares for people with dementia— and it is our honor to care for veterans with dementia who have served our country. We know watching a loved one struggle with dementia can be overwhelming. Each day brings highs and lows and unexpected new behaviors. It is understandable to wish you had help in your home.
A person with dementia experiences symptoms that can make them feel powerless, frustrated, and even angry. As a caregiver to a veteran with dementia, you might be feeling those same emotions. You might be finding you don’t have the experience, energy, or strength to care for your veteran with dementia in the best way possible.
Let us be clear about this: Do not feel guilty about needing help.
How Does Housen Homecare Help?
Housen Homecare assists by coming into your home and helping you and your veteran find a sense of peace once again.
We visit you and your loved one to:
- Provide planned activities to engage your loved one and establish a routine
- Assist in activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and eating
- Take time to engage your loved one in conversation and movement
- Assist you in your needs as a caregiver to ensure you are cared for as well
- Help you discover what government assistance might be available to your veteran who has earned it
Dementia presents itself in varying degrees. Our highly trained caregivers understand the care they give must be personalized and based on what your loved one needs. We never deliver a one-size-fits-all method of care. As your veteran’s needs change, our care changes to best serve them.
Why In-Home Care for Veterans With Dementia?
Most of us have been in a hospital bed, wanting to go home where we can be comforted by familiar possessions, people, smells, and sounds. Veterans with dementia crave the same comforts.
When possible, remaining in the home surrounded by loved ones and a familiar environment can give a person with dementia a sense of control, peace, and security. Focusing on your loved one and offering one-on-one personalized attention gives them the integrity to remain at home. They can feel a sense of empowerment that comes with being a part of a daily routine that involves taking their time.
We know having your loved one remain home is your goal, so you can both feel a sense of comfort, normality, and privacy. It is our job and joy to help make that happen for you. We create a safe, cheerful environment to encourage your loved one to trust us. It’s as though a friend is coming to visit your veteran each day to care for them, spend time with them, and see them as valued.
