Dementia and Alzheimer's support
Memory care at home in Massachusetts
Familiar rooms, a familiar order to the day, and the same caregiver each visit. For someone living with dementia, sameness does more work than anything else we can offer.
Available in Lexington, Concord, Winchester and the other towns we serve nearby.
How we work
Same person, same rhythm
We schedule one caregiver to a household and keep them there. They learn the order of the morning, the chair that gets used, the name of the dog, and the two subjects that always lift the mood.
When the day goes sideways, we do not argue with it. We redirect gently, keep the person safe, and write down what set it off so the next visit goes better.
In a memory care visit
- A predictable sequence: wash, dress, eat, move, rest
- Cueing and calm redirection instead of correction
- Meals made and eaten together, so eating stays social
- Walks and simple activities that use long-held skills
- Reminders that follow the prescriber's schedule, reported the same day
- Notes for the family on sleep, appetite, mood and orientation
For the family
What you get back
A break you can plan around
Fixed hours each week that you can build your own life around, not hours that move.
Someone watching for drift
Changes in sleep, appetite, steadiness or mood get reported to you the same day.
One person to call
The owner knows your household. You are not explaining the situation again each time.
