This week is National Skilled Nursing Care Week! As a home care agency, we serve our clients wherever they live and need assistance. While this is sometimes private homes and apartments, it also includes assisted and independent livings, rehabs, memory cares, nursing homes, etc. It would be impossible for our caregivers to do their jobs completely without the help of the staff in these buildings. For this reason and many more, we would like to thank all of the skilled nursing staff for all they do!

From an outside view, dementia and Alzheimer’s present as someone who is confused at times and often repeats themselves. Some memory care patients, especially in the beginning, can even “fake it” through shorter conversations with someone they no longer recognize in a way that is virtually unnoticeable to the person on the other end of the discussion. For the primary caregiver, the person who sees the toll these diseases take on their loved one, and often the person who receives the brunt of the negative behaviors associated with these diseases, it rears a much uglier head.
