What Is Dementia Therapy?
HomeCare Rehab and Nursing recognizes the growing population
of older Americans as well as the increasing
number of people suffering from dementia-related
disorders. Dementia can be very difficult to
understand and even more difficult to deal with.
Because learning potential can be limited, the
person’s own home is the most ideal place for
therapy.
Dementia Therapy is a specialized field:
- Goal is to provide alternatives to long
term care placement and help people stay
in their own homes as long as possible.
- Focuses on determining the stage of
dementia, designing individualized treatment
plans, improving function, and increasing
active participation in meaningful activities.
- Education! Education! Education! Answering
the simple questions for caregivers such
as:
- “What is going on here?”
- “What do I do now?”
- “What can I expect next?”
