Alzheimer’s disease impacts more than just memory—it affects independence, safety, and emotional well-being. As the condition progresses, families often find themselves searching for reliable, compassionate support to ensure their loved ones are safe and comfortable at home. That’s where BrightStar Care® comes in. Our Personal Care Services offer gentle, respectful assistance that meets seniors where they are—emotionally, physically, and cognitively.
Understanding Alzheimer’s and the Need for Personalized Care
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that gradually impairs thinking, memory, and behavior. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 6 million Americans are currently living with the disease, and the majority of them are over the age of 65.
As Alzheimer's symptoms advance, everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and meal preparation become increasingly difficult. Emotional challenges such as confusion, frustration, and anxiety can make these tasks even more overwhelming. Seniors with Alzheimer’s thrive in environments that are structured, familiar, and compassionate—and that’s exactly what BrightStar Care provides.
What Personal Care Services Include
Our Personal Care Services are designed to assist with daily routines while maintaining the dignity and autonomy of each individual. These services are non-medical but essential for seniors with Alzheimer’s who need extra support to live safely at home.
Services often include:
-
Help with hygiene and grooming
-
Meal planning and preparation
-
Toileting and incontinence care
-
Dressing and mobility support
-
Light housekeeping and laundry
-
Companionship and engagement in simple, familiar activities
These seemingly small moments of assistance provide enormous relief—not just for seniors, but for their family caregivers, too.
How We Tailor Alzheimer’s Care with Compassion
Every individual’s journey with Alzheimer’s is unique. At BrightStar Care, we emphasize personalized care that aligns with their needs, preferences, and stage of the disease.
-
Consistent caregivers help reduce anxiety and build trust.
-
Simple routines and familiar settings promote a sense of comfort and stability.

Engagement in meaningful activities, such as listening to music or folding laundry, helps maintain a sense of purpose and stimulation.
Our caregivers are trained to recognize and respond to common Alzheimer’s behaviors such as agitation, wandering, and confusion, all while creating a calm, respectful environment.
