Yes. BrightStar Care of Bedford/Manchester provides expert in-home memory care specifically designed for seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological disorders. Our program follows a proprietary Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Path, which uses science-based methods to help clients remain safely in their own homes in Bedford, Manchester, Nashua, Concord, Salem, Dover, Exeter and surrounding areas while maintaining their dignity and quality of life.
Unlike many home care agencies, every memory care plan at BrightStar Care is created and supervised by a Registered Nurse (RN) Director of Nursing. This is critical because dementia is progressive; our RNs conduct regular assessments to monitor changes in cognitive function, adjust care plans, and provide medication management to ensure safety as the disease evolves.
Our caregivers undergo specialized training to manage complex behaviors associated with memory loss, such as wandering, agitation, sundowning, and confusion. We use person-centered techniques to de-escalate stress and engage clients in cognitive stimulation. In 2025, our team is also trained to support families eligible for the Medicare GUIDE Program, a holistic model designed to improve the dementia care experience for both the patient and the family caregiver.
Yes. We provide a full continuum of care, from hourly respite to 24/7 live-in care. For families in Southern NH who need overnight supervision to prevent wandering or to assist with nighttime safety, our caregivers provide continuous monitoring, allowing family members to rest knowing their loved one is secure.
In-home memory care allows seniors to stay in a familiar environment, which can significantly reduce the anxiety and "transfer trauma" often triggered by moving to a facility. By providing 1:1 care, we ensure that your loved one’s unique routine—from their favorite music to their specific meal preferences—is honored, which is often impossible in a crowded institutional setting.
