June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, while also promoting brain health. Alzheimer’s is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior, and it impacts millions of individuals and their families worldwide. While there is no cure, early diagnosis and proper care can improve the quality of life for those affected. At Heart of the Carolinas Homecare, we are committed to raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and providing compassionate Alzheimer’s care to support seniors and their families.

Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease and Brain Health

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of all dementia cases. It affects cognitive functions, including memory, reasoning, and the ability to carry out simple tasks. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience confusion, mood changes, and difficulty with daily activities.

While Alzheimer’s cannot be reversed, adopting healthy brain habits—such as regular exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, staying mentally active, and managing cardiovascular health—can help slow cognitive decline and support overall brain health.

How Home Care Can Help Seniors with Alzheimer’s Disease

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s can be challenging and overwhelming. In-home Alzheimer’s care provides essential support for families by allowing seniors to stay in familiar surroundings while receiving the help they need. Our home care services are designed to assist seniors with Alzheimer’s in maintaining their dignity and independence as long as possible.

Here’s how in-home care can make a difference for seniors living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia:

• Personalized Care: Every individual with Alzheimer’s experiences the disease differently. Our Alzheimer’s care offers tailored services that meet each senior’s specific needs, from help with daily tasks like bathing and dressing to managing medications and meal preparation.
• Safe and Comfortable Environment: Being in a familiar environment can reduce confusion and anxiety for those with Alzheimer’s. Home care allows seniors to remain in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable, while receiving professional care that helps keep them safe.
• Companionship and Engagement: Caregivers can provide companionship and mental stimulation, engaging seniors in activities that promote cognitive function and help slow memory loss.
• Support for Family Caregivers: Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s can be physically and emotionally draining. Home care offers respite for family caregivers, allowing them to take time for themselves while ensuring their loved one is well cared for.

At Heart of the Carolinas Homecare, we believe that compassionate, personalized care is key to helping seniors with Alzheimer’s live fulfilling lives, even as the disease progresses.

Promoting Brain Health and Awareness

Raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and the importance of brain health is vital. Taking steps to care for your brain—such as staying physically active, keeping your mind engaged, and eating a healthy diet—can lower the risk of cognitive decline. If you or a loved one is concerned about memory loss or other cognitive changes, early screening and diagnosis are crucial for managing the disease effectively.

Founder at Heart of the Carolinas

Edward Harrison founded the Heart of the Carolinas Homecare in 2007 when he saw there was a need for caregivers that provide non-medical home care services, at a price that most people could afford. It was standard in the industry to require hourly minimums and it was common to be assigned a caregiver, not matched with one based on your individual personal needs. Edward understood that to make a successful relationship between caregiver and client, skills were not enough, personality and compatibility plays as much a role as do skills.
