Alzheimer’s and related dementias are progressive diseases that worsen over time and affect cognitive functioning. Many seniors with Alzheimer’s also experience Sundowner’s Syndrome.
Early signs of these diseases can affect daily functioning as they include memory loss, confusion, difficulty completing familiar tasks, misplacement of items, decreased judgment, withdrawal from social activities and changes in mood or personality.
Three out of five people with dementia will go missing as some individuals with Alzheimer’s disease may become disoriented when they are outside their home or in unfamiliar surroundings. — Alzheimer’s Association
Prevent wandering
Along with preliminary symptoms, there are also substantial risks with Alzheimer’s and related dementias like wandering. To prevent wandering, Nurse Next Door’s priority through its dementia care is clients’ safety and allowing them to receive care in a familiar setting – their own home.
24/7 Care, Consistent Visits
Our 24/7 dementia care & Alzheimer care service gives you peace of mind and reassurance that your loved one is receiving quality one-on-one care, minimising any risk or harm to them. Our clients are carefully matched with caregivers based on our expert Care Designer’s assessment. To avoid confusion for clients, we always strive for consistency when sending in caregivers so they can recognise any inconsistencies in a client’s routine and clients are comfortable receiving care from someone they trust.

We are trained in dementia care & Alzheimer’s care so that we can competently deal with Alzheimer’s and related dementia. We recognise that each situation is unique. We understand how Alzheimer’s & dementia can affect clients and their families as it is a difficult process for both. Nurse Next Door provides support and guidance to clients and their families in dealing with ongoing challenges and responsibilities of providing care.
Relieve Family Members
In many situations, family members often act as caregivers for those with Alzheimer’s and related dementia which causes a stressful environment for both parties. Our goal is to relieve family members and provide respite care so that you never need to worry if your loved one is safe.
