Ardent Lends a Helping Hand

When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, the news can be overwhelming. Our staff is trained to know how to best care for your family member who suffers from the disease. A person living with dementia becomes vulnerable. They need special attention and care. The disease affects every aspect of their lives. Individuals with dementia frequently deal with depression and anxiety; they often withdraw from the outside world, and they find it hard to interpret what they see and hear since their brain affects how their senses perceive things.

Ardent’s trained caregivers help preserve your loved one’s dignity and independence. Before the start of service, an Ardent Care Case Manager creates an individualized service plan for your family member that addresses all the important areas of their care. We also ask the family what specific group activities the client may enjoy. Playing board games, working on puzzles, painting, and drawing are some of the tasks that those with dementia may find rewarding. Encouraging them in this way can enhance their life experience.

Dementia is a progressive disease of the brain that increases in severity over time. Our caregivers are trained to meet your loved one at any stage of the disease they find themselves in. An Ardent Care Manager will change the plan of care, whenever needed, to adapt to the person’s changes related to the disease.

Our caregivers are also trained to care for those with Alzheimer’s disease. We have helped many individuals with dementia by providing client-specific care as well as respite care for the family.

In 2016, Ardent Care participated in the fundraising event called “Walk to End Alzheimer’s.” For more information, click here to be taken to their website.

Frequently Asked Questions About Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care

What should I know about the progression of dementia when considering care options?

Dementia is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior over time. We understand that care needs will evolve, so our team regularly assesses each person’s condition to adjust support accordingly.

How does Alzheimer’s care at home actually work?

Alzheimer’s care at home usually means trained caregivers help with memory support, routines, safety, and basic daily tasks. We help keep things familiar and reduce stress for the person receiving care.

What kinds of activities are most helpful for people living with dementia?

Activities that stimulate the mind and promote engagement—such as puzzles, games, and creative arts—can improve mood and cognitive function. We encourage personalized activities based on each person’s interests.

What’s the difference between memory care and regular home care?

Memory care focuses on support for people with Alzheimer’s or dementia, while regular home care is more general. We use memory-friendly routines, safety steps, and communication methods that are meant for people with cognitive decline.

How do I know if my parent needs memory care at home?

Watch for signs like wandering, forgetting meals or meds, or confusion with basic tasks. We help families understand what level of care fits best based on these signs.

Does Medicare pay for Alzheimer’s home care?

Medicare might cover certain parts, like short-term nursing or therapy, but not daily in-home memory care. We help families check all payment options and benefits available.

What should I consider before choosing in-home dementia care?

It’s important to assess the level of assistance needed, the person’s comfort with caregivers, and the availability of specialized training. We take all these factors into account to provide the best match for your loved one.
