How Comfort Keepers Caregivers Can Help with Dementia Care
Our caregivers are screened for empathy, trained to help seniors with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, and empowered to find ways to elevate the spirits of clients and their families.
Our caregivers also practice Comfort Keepers' signature Interactive Caregiving™ system. With Interactive Caregiving, we get to know our clients personally, learning about likes, dislikes, and past events. This helps us integrate activities that simulate mental or physical activity. Our clients and caregivers develop a relationship and often listen to music together from the senior's favorite era, read an old favorite book, or even do memory exercises like looking through family photos or discussing current events.
