Memory Home Care: Assisting those with Cognitive Illnesses in Greenwich, CT

At Collaborative Home Care, we want to be part of the care solution in helping those impacted by cognitive illnesses with personalized care to help them to continue to live safely in their homes and to fill their emotional well-being tank everyday with meaningful activities.

Our caregivers receive specialized Memory Care training approved by the Alzheimer’s Association. Our training platform is provided by Activated Insights, a national provider of training programs to thousands of home care companies across the country. Their partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association allows our team to receive best-in class training. Each caregiver receives 8.5 hours of training to meet this standard, and the training goes beyond understanding how to deal with difficult behaviors and wandering challenges associated with dementia. We provide insight to help them understand the disease from the point of view of the person living with dementia. If you can understand how they see the world and their retained abilities, you can construct a personalized plan and implement care techniques that build trust and a personal connection between client and caregiver.

Determining the right approach to care starts with understanding the person living with the cognitive illness – their capabilities, personality, favorite memories and interests. During our no obligation, in-home consultation, we’ll ask questions to understand how far the disease has progressed and what types of activities the person can do. That allows us to develop a plan filled with activities that the person can participate in and feel good about. With your permission, we are happy to discuss the care plan with your current physician to ensure the approach aligns with their guidance.

Through our approach to care, together we can create a positive environment centered around things your loved one is still able to do, so they can continue to live healthy and safely at home.
