As our loved ones age, managing chronic illnesses becomes a central part of daily life. Conditions like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease require consistent, compassionate care, but that care doesn’t always need to come from a hospital or clinic. Non-medical home care provides a personalized and dignified alternative, enabling seniors to live safely and comfortably in their own homes.
At A Place At Home – Arlington & Alexandria, we specialize in chronic condition care at home, offering tailored support that meets the unique needs of each senior and their family.
Common Chronic Conditions That Benefit from In-Home Support
Dementia
Dementia affects memory, reasoning, and day-to-day functioning. Individuals may experience confusion, agitation, or difficulty with familiar tasks. Non-medical caregivers can provide:
- Compassionate supervision and redirection
- Help with dressing, bathing, and eating
- Familiar routines to reduce stress and disorientation
Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia, is progressive and requires increasing levels of care. Our caregivers support individuals with:
- Daily structure and gentle cognitive activities
- Medication reminders and meal prep
- A focus on comfort, safety, and dignity at every stage
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s impacts motor skills and often includes tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with mobility. Our non-medical care services include:
- Assistance with walking, transfers, and fall prevention
- Help with feeding, grooming, and hygiene
- Encouragement with exercises recommended by therapists
The Benefits of Non-Medical Care for Elderly Adults
Families often struggle to balance caregiving with their own responsibilities. That’s where we step in. Non-medical caregivers provide:
- Personal care assistance: bathing, grooming, dressing
- Meal planning and preparation tailored to dietary needs
- Companionship and emotional support to reduce loneliness
- Transportation and errands for appointments or grocery runs
- Respite care so family caregivers can rest and recharge
Our services are ideal for individuals requiring senior care for chronic conditions in a non-clinical setting. By bringing care into the home, seniors maintain their independence while getting the daily support they need.
