Enhancing Senior Independence and Quality of Life with LIFE Profile

Alzheimers disease, a progressive and degenerative brain condition, is the most common form of dementia. Dementia itself is not a specific disease but a term that describes a group of symptoms, including memory loss and cognitive impairments, which interfere with daily activities.  If your elderly loved one in the North Metro area is suffering from Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, caregiving can significantly impact your physical and emotional well-being. Due to the progressive nature of the disease, many families seek the support of home care professionals like Senior Helpers. As leading experts in Alzheimer's and dementia care, Senior Helpers can make life easier and more enjoyable for both you and your loved one.  We collaborate with you to create a customized home care plan that adapts as your loved one's needs change. Our care team is extensively trained and experienced in providing individualized care and support, carefully monitoring everything from medication to daily activities. Our goal is to create a positive environment with activities that focus on what your loved one can still do, rather than what they can no longer do. We achieve this through our Senior Gems program. Trust Senior Helpers to provide the compassionate, expert care your loved one deserves.  Senior Gems Program  The Senior Gems program, created by Senior Helpers, offers effective strategies for supporting and caring for your loved one, from normal aging through late-stage dementia.
