What is dementia?
Dementia is a collection of symptoms related to the decline in memory and mental abilities — it is not a condition in and of itself.
There are many forms and causes of dementia — the two main forms being Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia (which occurs following a stroke).
In order to qualify as dementia, a person’s life must be significantly impacted by the impairment of at least two of these mental functions:
- Judgment / reasoning
- Memory
- Communication
- Attentiveness / focus
- Visual perception
How we can help

Family homecare
We focus on care for the whole family so you can focus on your loved ones. Essentially, we can take on the role of “professional son or daughter” allowing you to minimize your stress so you can enjoy quality time with your family and peace of mind knowing that Choice Homecare is involved.

Nurse managed care
All of our care is managed by nurses to ensure we are providing the right care in the right way. Caregivers are thoroughly oriented with the right priorities and clear direction. Nurse Managers also provide ongoing professional monitoring, oversight and reviews of care in order to ensure the patient’s goals are achieved and the quality of service is maintained.

Continuity of care
Not only do we value stability in the relationships we form with our patients, we believe in working hard towards developing a personal understanding of each individual’s behaviours. This way, we can adapt our course of action based on the unique needs and preferences of each person.
Our knowledgeable, reliable, and professional caregivers have the ability to give those living with dementia the chance to stay at home worry-free and get the quality care that they both need and deserve.
FAQs
About In-Home Dementia Care
Caring for a person with dementia can be overwhelming. We can help. Our educated and experienced caregivers understand these behaviours and can provide safe, personalized, nurse-monitored care at home. In-home dementia care has all the required services being provided within the home, rather than in a hospital or care facility.
Our care managers are highly trained in dementia care. We increase the quality of life by encouraging clients to live normal lives for as long as possible. To do this, we find coping strategies to overcome deficits when they arise, such as finding new activities when old activities can no longer be enjoyed. We encourage our clients to do as much for themselves as possible, giving assistance and praise along the way.
Contact us for a free one-hour in-home assessment with a Choice Homecare Ottawa care manager. We’ll answer your questions and help ensure you receive the dementia care that your family needs. If you’re facing behaviours or issues related to dementia (including wandering, agitation, aggression, incontinence, and falls) we can offer experienced advice and coping strategies for day to day activities.
