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

We assist with everyday activities, housekeeping, accompaniment for events, meal preparation, and transportation to appointments.
Respite Care Services
Taking care of our loved ones is not a burden, but a cycle of caring that began when our loved ones looked after us when we were young. Nonetheless, the intensity of care can take a toll on a caregiver’s physical and emotional health if they don’t get a break. Choice Homecare offers a refreshing pause for family caregivers, ensuring they don't face exhaustion or lose personal boundaries.

Our care provides peace of mind for both the individual and their primary caregivers by helping you get back on track with your life while knowing your loved ones are in good care.
