Caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming, especially as their needs change throughout the day. At BrightStar Care of Summit, NJ, we provide compassionate, professional dementia and memory care at home with the support of trained and Certified Home Health Aides who specialize in this type of care.
The Challenges of Dementia and Sundown Syndrome
Many families notice that their loved one’s dementia symptoms get worse in the late afternoon or evening, a condition known as Sundown Syndrome. Confusion, agitation, and wandering can increase during these hours, making it unsafe for someone with dementia to be left alone. Our caregivers are trained to recognize these behaviors and provide calm, reassuring support during this vulnerable time of day.
Why Memory Care at Home Makes a Difference
In addition to providing dementia care in the home, BrightStar Care can also assist in retirement communities or assisted living residences – offering supplemental one-on-one support. We can also assist at the hospital bedside – during a hospital stay, to ensure comfort and continuity of care.
