24/7 Homecare & Home Health Services

In summary, Alzheimer’s is a specific type of dementia. 

Dementia is not a singular disease itself, but rather a term used to describe a group of associated symptoms.

Alzheimer’s disease on the other hand is a specific medical condition that disrupts the brain’s nerve endings and how they communicate with each other.

There are multiple stages of dementia with different symptoms associated with each. Those with Alzheimer’s will also experience various stages of the progressive disease. 

At PilgrimWay Lives, we offer a wide range of homecare services for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Reach out to us to find out more.

With the right care and support from professional caregivers, it’s possible to take care of a person with dementia at home. 

Many prospective clients ask: ‘when should someone with dementia go into a residential care home?’ Residential care isn’t always the answer. Many people living with dementia do better at home with proper care than those in care homes.

We offer different types of care that work in hand in hand to create a personalised care plan for all stages of dementia. Contact us today to discuss your specific needs and concerns.

24-hour dementia homecare can be invaluable for older people and anyone having difficulties with the late stages of dementia. There is no specific stage at which dementia patients need 24-hour assistance, it all depends on the impact of the impact of the limitations on the person's ability to live safely independently. Full-time care at home can provide peace of mind whenever caring for someone with dementia becomes overwhelming. 

As a rule of thumb, our dementia care services are always based on an agreed care schedule to minimise confusion and disruption of pre-established routines. 

Various type of care can be combined for full-time care for dementia. We can incorporate Dementia specialist homecare can be incorporated in the care plan for live-in care or 24-hour homecare.

Sadly, there is no exact duration for how long it will take to progress between each stage of Alzheimer’s disease. The rate of progression depends on each person and their own medical situation.

However, as the disease is fairly common, there is an average for how long each stage lasts: 

Stage of Alzheimer's              Average Length of Time

Early Stage (Mild)                    2 - 4 Years

Middle Stage (Moderate)         2 - 10 Years

Late Stage (Severe)                1 - 3 Years

If you are unsure what to expect for each stage of Alzheimer’s, talk to your primary care provider or a healthcare professional for advice. 

At PilgrimWay Lives, many clients are people with dementia who continue to live independently at home.

As symptoms of dementia progresses, live-in care or 24-hour dementia care can offer peace of mind while allowing clients to remain in their homes. 

Familiar surroundings and regular routines are key to reducing distress, confusion and disorientation for people with dementia.

With consistent support and care in their familiar home environment, most clients do better in their homes, especially when they have consistently the same specially trained caregivers taking care of them.

Our in-home Alzheimer's care cost depends on the individual needs of the client. All of our services are arranged to your needs, so we can’t give an average cost until we have established your plan of care.
