Caregiver Offering Companionship to Senior
Most people who have Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia—particularly those in the early and middle stages—can be cared for at home rather than at nursing homes or other facilities. In fact, more than half of those who have Alzheimer’s continue to live in home settings and 80 to 90 percent rely on family and friends for care.

Providing support and specialized nonmedical home care for those with Alzheimer’s, dementia or cognitive change is one of the most positive ways you can help your loved one during this difficult journey. This can feel overwhelming, but Right at Home is here to help with educational resources and professional caregiving services when you need them.
