Unwavering Love

“My parents have shared a beautiful marriage since 1965 and still live together in the same home where I was brought from the hospital as a newborn. However, like many families in America, we are navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) as my mother battles this progressive condition. As a family, including my two siblings, we are deeply concerned about how to ensure she receives the care she needs while preserving her dignity and our father’s well-being.

Our father is torn—his love for my mother is unwavering, but he increasingly feels unable to provide the level of care she needs as her condition advances. While we have discussed assisted-living options with specialized memory care, our father’s hope is to explore ways to keep her at home with the right support system in place. It is in this context that we turn to Andmore Care.”

Thank you for sharing your family’s heartfelt story and for reaching out to Andmore Care during this pivotal moment in your journey. We deeply empathize with the challenges you and your loved ones are navigating as you balance your mother’s care needs with your father’s devotion and desire to keep her at home. At Andmore Care, we are dedicated to offering comprehensive, evidence-based solutions that align with your family’s goals while ensuring the best possible outcomes for everyone involved.

We understand the appeal of moving to a memory-care community, especially with its tailored environment and specialized support. Studies show that residents in memory-care communities often experience reduced risks of hospitalizations and nursing home admissions compared to general assisted-living settings. Specifically, moving to a memory-care facility has been associated with a 7% reduction in hospitalizations, a 16% lower risk of nursing home admission within six months, and a 28% decreased risk of long-term nursing home stays . These statistics highlight the importance of specialized care and trained staff in achieving better health outcomes for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD).

However, it’s essential to note that in-home care—when guided by evidence-based practices—can provide equivalent, if not superior, outcomes for those who prefer to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment. Research demonstrates that 60% of individuals with dementia live at home, where person-centered, structured support is crucial to maintaining safety, independence, and quality of life . This is where Andmore Care excels.

Our approach draws on the latest multidisciplinary strategies, integrating expertise from neurology, psychology, and caregiving best practices to create a personalized care plan. Here’s how Andmore Care can support your family:

  1. Person-Centered Care: Our evidence-based programs focus on leveraging your mother’s preserved memory faculties, engaging her through activities that stimulate implicit memory while fostering meaningful social interactions. This approach not only improves her emotional well-being but also maintains her dignity and sense of self.
  2. Specialized Expertise: Our caregivers are rigorously trained in dementia care, ensuring they can manage complex behavioral and cognitive symptoms while promoting safety and comfort. Andmore Care also implements environmental adaptations to minimize risks, including fall prevention and strategies for wandering.
  3. Comprehensive Support: Beyond caregiving, we aim to ease the emotional and logistical burdens your family faces. Our services alleviate the strain on family members, allowing you and your siblings to spend quality time with your mother and enabling your father to remain actively involved in her care without being overwhelmed.
  4. Better Health Outcomes: Research underscores the benefits of in-home care tailored to individuals with ADRD. By maintaining consistent routines and familiar surroundings, in-home care can reduce the distress often associated with transitions to institutional settings. Additionally, this approach minimizes the risks of hospitalizations and infections commonly triggered by relocation.

In the absence of federal standardization for memory care facilities, the differences in quality can vary widely. Andmore Care’s proven expertise is reassurance reassures us that we can offer a gold standard of care within the comfort of home, ensuring safety, respect, and dignity for your mother while empowering your father to continue being an integral part of her life. Your family’s desire to keep your mother at home is a profound expression of love and commitment. Andmore Care is here to ensure that this vision becomes a reality, providing the professional expertise and compassionate care your mother deserves. Together, we can create a supportive environment that not only meets her needs but also preserves the cherished bond between your parents.
