Determining when 24-hour care is needed depends on how Alzheimer’s and dementia are impacting your loved one’s daily routine. In the early stages, forgetfulness is common, and some additional support may be required. However, 24-hour care may be needed in mid-, late, or advanced stages. Your loved one may be best suited for around-the-clock care if they struggle to complete daily tasks and self-care, including meal preparation or general hygiene.
