Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care in Boston, MA
When memory starts to fade, patience and understanding matter more than anything.
Caring for someone with dementia is hard. Really hard. Your parent might not remember your name some days. They might ask the same question ten times in an hour. They might get angry or scared for reasons you can’t figure out. And through all of it, you’re still trying to see the person they used to be—because they’re still in there.
Our dementia caregivers get it. They’re trained specifically for this kind of care, and more importantly, they have the patience and heart for it. They don’t take the tough moments personally. They know how to redirect, how to calm, how to connect—even when connection seems impossible.
What Our Caregivers Are Trained To Do
Memory Support Activities
Looking through old photos, listening to music from their era, talking about the places they grew up. These aren’t just activities—they’re ways to spark connection and bring comfort, even when recent memory is gone.
Routine and Structure
Consistency helps. We keep to predictable schedules—meals at the same time, activities in the same order. It reduces confusion and anxiety when they know what comes next.
Redirection Techniques
When they’re getting agitated or fixated on something upsetting, our caregivers know how to gently shift focus without making them feel dismissed. It’s a skill that takes training and practice.
Safety Awareness
Wandering, forgetting to turn off the stove, taking medication twice—our caregivers stay alert to these risks. They know what to watch for and how to prevent dangerous situations before they happen.
Personal Care Support
Bathing, dressing, toileting—these can become major challenges as dementia progresses. Our caregivers approach these moments calmly and respectfully, even when there’s resistance.
Communication Techniques
Simple sentences, yes-or-no questions, validating their reality even when it doesn’t match ours. Communication looks different with dementia, and we meet them where they are.

For Family Caregivers
If you’ve been doing this alone—or mostly alone—you already know how exhausting it is. You might feel guilty for needing help, or worried that bringing in a stranger will confuse your loved one more.
Here’s what we’ve seen: in most cases, having consistent help actually reduces confusion over time. And it gives you a break so you can show up as a daughter or son, not just a caregiver running on empty.
We can start with just a few hours a week and see how it goes. There’s no commitment to increase—you’re in control.
We Help at Every Stage
Early stage: When things are just starting to slip—forgotten appointments, misplaced items, repeating stories. A companion can help maintain routines and provide gentle supervision.
Middle stage: When help with daily activities becomes necessary and behaviors become more challenging. This is often when families realize they can’t do it alone anymore.
Late stage: When 24/7 supervision is needed. We can provide extended care or overnight support to keep them safe and comfortable at home.
