The Best Dementia Care
Dementia is a broad category of brain diseases that cause long-term loss of the ability to think and reason clearly. It is severe enough to affect a person’s daily functioning.Alegre Home Care understands that each person living with memory loss experiences the symptoms and inevitable progression differently. We understand the stages of memory loss and will design a care plan tailored to each cognitive phase, including programs and activities that address each stage, allowing the individual to experience the best possible quality of life.
Alegre is a California State Licensed Home Care Organization and our caregivers are California State Registered Home Care Aides. The support of Alegre in-home caregivers enables people to maintain social lives, engage in hobbies, stay connected with friends and family, keep their animal companions, and enjoy the comfort of being in their own home.
What is Dementia Care?
For seniors with dementia (as well as their families), it’s very important to find the right in-home Alzheimer’s care and dementia care before the condition progresses too far. People can live for a long time after their illness is first diagnosed. Memory loss is one of the most painful parts of dementia, but it’s wise to understand that this is only a symptom of a much more complex disease.
Dementia care requires caregivers to have a deep commitment to empathy and compassion. It also requires taking caregiving approaches that are uniquely tailored to people who have dementia. Our dementia respite care services include general in-home care such as help with chores and hygiene, creative activities that improve quality of life, companionship and facilitated outings, customized care plans, and team support from our home care agency. We work with each individual and their loved ones on a personalized basis, tailoring their caregiving needs to how the situation progresses.
Dementia help at home can help seniors living with dementia to enjoy their time in peace, dignity, and happiness.

The caregivers from Alegre are exceptional. They treated my mother with such dignity and respect. We felt confident knowing she was in good hands every single day.
I am so grateful for the compassionate care my father received. The team at Alegre made his final months comfortable and peaceful. Their LGBT-inclusive approach meant everything to our family.
