Dementia Care Services

Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia, but not all dementias are Alzheimer's disease. If your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia, vascular dementia, sudden-onset dementia, Lewy Body Disease (dementia with Lewy bodies) or any other type of cognitive impairment, we can help. A professional CareProfessional from Home Instead of Huntsville, AL can help your loved one with dementia stay safe and happy at home.

A few of the benefits of professional dementia care:

• Caregiving just when you need it. In the early stages of dementia, people may only need wake-up or tuck-in services. As the disease progresses, we will work with you to expand care to meet your loved one's need and budget.
• Respite. Dementia can take a toll on family caregivers. Our professional CAREGivers will provide compassionate care to your loved one while you take some much-needed time for yourself. Schedule one day a week "off" for yourself, or take a weekend getaway to refresh and recharge your energy. Meanwhile, you can be assured your loved one is secure and well cared-for at home.
• An expert knowledge base at your disposal. As your family member's dementia progresses, you may have a lot of questions about what is 'normal' behavior. Our CareProfessionals can share their wealth of knowledge and experience with you to ease your mind.

Parkinson's Care Services

After Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease is the most common neuro-degenerative disorder in America. Home Instead of Huntsville, AL offers specialized caregiving services to families affected by Parkinson's.
