Frequently Asked Questions
We’re here to help and encourage any questions you may have. Below are some of the inquiries we frequently receive from families. For more detailed information or to schedule a complimentary in-home assessment, please reach out to us.
Absolutely. While some healthcare professionals and senior living facilities recommend moving your loved one as their dementia progresses, we at Assurance know keeping them in a familiar space can be critical for their care. Their surroundings impact their overall well-being, and having dedicated caregivers within their home can help them feel comfortable and at ease throughout this transition.
Our caregivers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to each individual they support. In addition to ensuring a proper care match, we also consider personality needs as well. This is a significant benefit for those living with dementia who can age at home. It means their preferences and feelings are still considered, boosting their overall well-being. In-home dementia and Alzheimer’s care in Toronto can also be adjusted as needed based on changing symptoms or routines to quickly and easily provide exceptional support.
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. If you would like to discuss the specifics of your loved ones needs for in-home care in Toronto, please connect with us so we can determine the best care plan for them.
Our caregivers have a deep understanding of the symptoms and behaviours associated with dementia. They are trained not only with the skills but also in providing empathetic care that meets your loved one’s needs. This includes creating a calm, supportive environment to reduce or lessen intense outbursts alongside various forms of mental stimulation to help with memory and cognitive function.
At Assurance, we work with you to determine the best ways to assist your loved one with dementia. Combining medical advice, professional care, personal preferences, and any other specific needs means your loved one can live a fulfilling life despite their condition.
