At-Home Dementia Care Services

Our In-Home Dementia Care Services

When it comes to at home dementia care, over 50% of our clients come to us experiencing some level of cognitive decline. We take a personalized approach to care, recognizing that each family and support network is different, each living situation is different, and each caregiver is different. Our services have continued to adapt and evolve alongside, ensuring that we can meet your specific needs. 

While the nuances of symptoms may vary across different types of dementia—such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, or Lewy body dementia—the core need remains the same. Every dementia patient can benefit from a caregiver who responds to their unique challenges with compassionate, patient-centered care, ensuring their well-being and dignity are always prioritized.

We have a team of skilled and thoroughly vetted caregivers with years of experience working with in-home dementia patients who are dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for clients. From part-time companionship for seniors with mild dementia to 24-hour live-in care for individuals who need a higher level of in-home dementia care, you can have peace of mind and confidence in your loved one’s well-being.

Our caregivers are there to address your loved ones’ dementia care needs while enhancing and preserving their quality of life as their condition progresses. Your caregiver will act as your eyes and ears and be there when you can’t be. They will be a partner in advocacy in maintaining your loved one’s dignity, health, and independence in their later years.

Dementia Care 

At LifeWorx, we provide thoughtful care strategies for managing symptoms like memory loss, aggression, and confusion. Our in-home dementia care emphasizes respect, patience, and understanding in even the most challenging moments. Our caregivers are experienced in assisting individuals living with dementia, and are equipped to navigate the changes in memory, personality, and behavior that come with it.

• Memory Care and Cognitive Stimulation
  Engaging the mind can help slow memory loss and provide moments of clarity and joy. Our caregivers take part in meaningful activities with their clients such as memory games, music therapy, and reminiscing about their fond memories. Caregivers may flip through photo albums, ask clients about childhood memories, or play music from their younger years. These interactions can reduce confusion, encourage connection, and bring a sense of familiarity and comfort to daily routines.
• Personal Care and Health Monitoring
  Managing personal care can become difficult for those living with dementia. Our caregivers can assist with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting, always prioritizing dignity and comfort while allowing clients to stay in their home. Our caregivers also assist with managing medications and monitoring overall health to proactively prevent complications.
• Safety and Wandering Prevention
  Keeping loved ones safe in their home is a top priority. Our caregivers address concerns such as wandering, restlessness, and unpredictable behaviors with a calm, understanding approach. By providing supervision and appropriate interventions, caregivers reduce the risk of wandering while creating a soothing home environment. They are familiar with tools like bed pressure pads that can alert them to clients leaving their beds and specialized door locks that prevent wandering to enhance security and peace of mind.
• Emotional Support and Behavioral Management
  Living with dementia can bring about emotional changes. Using techniques like redirection allows our caregivers to meet clients where they are at, helping to reduce stress and agitation. When you are visiting your loved one at their home, our caregivers provide an extra set of hands to assist with redirection, making your time together more pleasant. 
• Daily Living Activities (ADLs) & Household Management
  Our caregivers assist with daily living activities such as meal preparation, mobility support, and toileting. They also help take care of household tasks like cleaning, laundry, and organizing to maintain a safe, comfortable home environment.

Private Duty Nursing 

Private duty nursing can be beneficial for individuals with dementia or coexisting medical conditions. Our nurses ensure medical interventions are handled with sensitivity to the client’s cognitive challenges, allowing them to receive high-quality treatment in the comfort of their home. 

Our nursing team is led by our highly qualified Director of Patient Services, Dwiann Morgan, who is licensed and oversees the Directors of Nursing in each state where we operate. Our nurses are experienced professionals who bring compassion and expertise to every client.

They are trained to provide specialized medical support beyond the scope of caregivers, including administering IV injections, wound care, medication management, and g-tube feeding. This level of support is vital for clients recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or requiring close medical supervision.

Our nurses work closely with physicians and other healthcare providers to create a seamless care experience, so you can rest assured knowing they’re in the best hands. Whether your loved one requires temporary nursing care following a hospital discharge or simply prefers the peace of mind that a more extensively trained professional can provide, private duty nursing offers a flexible, personalized solution for your needs.

How it Works

Discuss your care needs

Documenting medical needs is the easy part. Where the work comes in is understanding your loved one’s personality, their triggers and limitations, any barriers to potentially accepting care for the first time, and the little things we can add to their lives by way of a caregiver that will put a smile on their face.

Meet our caregivers 

You’ll meet several fully vetted caregivers, each with a biography summarizing their skills and experience, activities they enjoy engaging in with clients, personality traits, background and interests, quotes from their reference transcripts, and a photo from their in-person interview. From there, you can interview either in-person or over the phone or video call or simply decide based on their profile.

Services begin

We do our best to keep things simple and find the perfect match for your loved one on our first time around and are encouraged by how often this happens. However, if things are not quite clicking, our client managers will take your feedback and go back to the drawing board for a more fitting solution. Above and beyond is the expectation, not the exception, with peace of mind as the ultimate outcome.

Our Values

Trust

Our industry-leading vetting process ensures you never have to worry about who is coming into your home. Where other agencies may put restrictions on the level of communication you have with the caregivers, we trust that each person involved has the client’s best interests at heart and will always act accordingly.  

Superior Service

What sets LifeWorx apart is our dedication to a superior experience at every touch point. You won’t be shuffled between departments. When you call, your point of contact will handle your needs directly and collaborate internally to ensure an efficient and thorough solution.   

Relationships

We understand how tough it can be to juggle caregiving responsibilities while simply wanting to cherish time with your loved one. Our Client Managers work closely with families to ensure a smooth transition to trusted caregivers, handling the logistics and coordination with care and expertise. Meanwhile, our caregivers go beyond providing support—they build meaningful connections through thoughtful conversations, shared activities, and genuine companionship, bringing comfort and joy to your loved one’s daily life.
