Special Care Needs

Other than just getting older and requiring additional routine help at home, many adult Americans are afflicted with specific diseases such as Alzheimer’s, congestive heart failure, diabetes, arthritis, stroke, and cancer thus requiring special care suited to their individual situation.

Since its start in 1989, Options For Senior America has built a reputation and gained experience to attend to different needs while customizing its services to provide hands on care for individuals with special care needs.

Alzheimer’s and Other Dementia

The first case Options took back in 1989 was for a couple both afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease. We provided continuous care for that couple for a period of 4 years. Since then, one of Options’ specialty care programs has focused on patients with Alzheimer’s and other dementia issues. We have developed a care plan based on continuity of service with the same care giver to provide an environment with a comfort level that is necessary for your loved ones. Today about half of our clients enjoy this program and spare their loved ones the need to be placed in a nursing home. Our live-in signature program is ideal for patients with Alzheimer’s who live alone, and has proved to be the most cost effective plan to provide care around the clock.

Options can help in recommending and implementing changes at your home to render it more Alzheimer’s friendly. In order to ensure a thorough approach, a room-by-room checklist can be very helpful. The following guidelines can be used to prepare the home for an Alzheimer’s patient.

Options For Senior America can help your loved one live independently at home for many years to come! Please contact us today to learn how we can help you.

During stroke recovery, the impact on the family can be monumental. The recovery process can be frustrating and exhausting.

I heartily endorse her in every way.
