The goal is familiar surroundings, a feeling of security, and as much freedom and independence as your loved one can hold on to.<\/p>\n<p>Dementia is a name for a group of conditions that affect the brain, memory and thinking. Alzheimer&#39;s disease is the most common type, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pa.gov\/agencies\/health\/diseases-conditions\/brain-and-neurological\/alzheimers\">an estimated 280,000 Pennsylvanians are living with Alzheimer&#39;s<\/a> right now. Our dementia care also supports people with vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia and mixed dementia, which is a combination of two or more types. Each one changes a person in its own way, so each one calls for its own approach to care.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of help is up to your family. Some people start with a caregiver for a few hours a week, and others need a lot more, and the plan can change as your loved one changes.

They give your loved one something meaningful to do, and they give the two of them something to share and talk about.<\/p>\n<p>Care can grow as needs grow, too.

Staying at home is another option, and plenty of families want to weigh it carefully before anyone starts packing boxes.<\/p>\n<p>Home care keeps hold of the things that matter a great deal to someone with memory loss. Your loved one gets individual attention from a caregiver who is there just for them. They stay in a familiar place, which can bring a real sense of comfort and security. And they keep as much freedom and independence as they can, in their own kitchen, in their own favorite chair.<\/p>\n<p>Families often ask how long a person with dementia can stay at home. Safety is a big part of the answer, and three things help a lot. A personalized care plan keeps the care matched to your loved one as their needs change. Home care built for dementia brings in caregivers who understand it and know what to watch for. Round-the-clock supervision, once it&#39;s needed, means help is in the house day and night.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4cd0672\" data-id=\"4cd0672\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12e5bd7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"12e5bd7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe\n  src=\"https:\/\/asnmsg.com\/widget\/form\/lDZJvREyJNIpPfQH3adN\"\n  style=\"width:100%;height:100%;border:none;border-radius:4px\"\n  id=\"inline-lDZJvREyJNIpPfQH3adN\" \n  data-layout=\"{'id':'INLINE'}\"\n  data-trigger-type=\"alwaysShow\"\n  data-trigger-value=\"\"\n  data-activation-type=\"alwaysActivated\"\n  data-activation-value=\"\"\n  data-deactivation-type=\"neverDeactivate\"\n  data-deactivation-value=\"\"\n  data-form-name=\"Get Started - Star NY\"\n  data-height=\"1570\"\n  data-layout-iframe-id=\"inline-lDZJvREyJNIpPfQH3adN\"\n  data-form-id=\"lDZJvREyJNIpPfQH3adN\"\n  title=\"Get Started - Star NY\"\n      >\n<\/iframe>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/asnmsg.com\/js\/form_embed.js\"><\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-887fc78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"887fc78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/extendedfamilycare.com\/allentown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bigstock-caregiving-Two-Different-Generations-102753287.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13232\" alt=\"An older woman in a beige sweater sits on a white sofa talking with a younger woman in a blue sweater\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extendedfamilycare.com\/allentown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bigstock-caregiving-Two-Different-Generations-102753287.jpg 900w, https:\/\/extendedfamilycare.com\/allentown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bigstock-caregiving-Two-Different-Generations-102753287-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/extendedfamilycare.com\/allentown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/06\/bigstock-caregiving-Two-Different-Generations-102753287-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed3ecc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ed3ecc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keeping a Bethlehem Home Safe for Someone with Dementia<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99bd790 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"99bd790\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Bethlehem&#39;s houses have a lot of years behind them. <a href=\"https:\/\/api.censusreporter.org\/1.0\/data\/show\/latest?table_ids=B25034&#038;geo_ids=16000US4206088\">About one in three homes in the city was built in 1939 or earlier, and more than half went up before 1960<\/a>.

Those details matter more for someone who is confused or a little unsteady on their feet.<\/p>\n<p>A few simple steps make a real difference. Locks on doors and windows help prevent wandering, which is common with dementia. Clearing away tripping hazards and keeping rooms well lit lower the chance of a fall, especially on those older staircases. Motion sensors can let the family know when their loved one is up and moving around. Familiar patterns ease confusion and anxiety, so a steady daily routine helps as well.<\/p>\n<p>Living alone adds another layer. <a href=\"https:\/\/api.censusreporter.org\/1.0\/data\/show\/latest?table_ids=B11007&#038;geo_ids=16000US4206088\">An estimated 3,261 households in Bethlehem are an older adult living on their own<\/a>, about a third of the city&#39;s households with someone 65 or older.
