When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, your world changes. At Geras Home Care, we believe that a diagnosis shouldn’t mean the end of independence or the loss of comfort. We provide specialized, person-centered care that honors the individual, supports the family, and ensures safety in the place they love most: home.
Why Specialized Memory Care Matters
Caring for a family member with memory loss is a journey filled with unique challenges—from communication barriers and “sundowning” to safety concerns and emotional exhaustion for the caregiver.
Specialized care is vital because dementia is more than just forgetfulness; it is a complex condition that requires a specific approach. Our team is trained to:
- Reduce Anxiety: By maintaining familiar routines and using calming communication techniques.
- Ensure Safety: Preventing elopement (wandering) and managing fall risks.
- Promote Dignity: Focusing on what your loved one can still do, fostering a sense of purpose.
- Provide Respite: Giving family caregivers the professional backup they need to recharge.
Our Holistic Approach: Home Care vs. Home Health
At Geras, we offer a “full-circle” care model. We understand that dementia care often requires a blend of daily lifestyle support and professional medical oversight.
1. Home Care Services (Daily Living Support)
Our Home Care services focus on the “activities of daily living” that help your loved one remain comfortable and engaged. Our compassionate caregivers provide:
- Personal Care: Assistance with bathing, dressing, and grooming while maintaining the client’s dignity.
- Companionship: Engaging in memory-stimulating activities, conversation, and hobbies.
- Medication Reminders: Ensuring consistency in their daily health routine.

2. Home Health Services (Clinical & Medical Care)
