Dementia and Alzheimer's Home Care Services in Katy
Our caregivers help with the everyday things that get harder as dementia changes how a person thinks and remembers. In a Katy home, a visit can include:
- Help with dressing, bathing and grooming
- Preparing meals and helping at mealtimes
- Companionship and good conversation
- Memory stimulation activities
- Rides to appointments and errands
- Safety monitoring throughout the visit
Each of these is described in more detail on our page about in-home Alzheimer's care for seniors, including the different kinds of dementia our caregivers support.
Familiar surroundings matter a great deal to someone with memory loss. Their own kitchen, their own chair and their own street give them something steady to hold on to, even on a confusing day. A caregiver who arrives at the same times and keeps the same rhythm, breakfast, a short walk, a favorite show in the afternoon, helps the day feel predictable, and a predictable day is usually a calmer one for everyone in the house. Alzheimer's care in Katy, TX works best this way, built around the person's own habits and their own home. Memory care at home in Katy lets your loved one keep the life they recognize, with a little more help each day as they need it.
At Your Side Home Care aspires to be the preeminent home care agency focusing on safety, lifestyle enhancement and positive outcomes.
Keeping a Loved One With Dementia Safe at Home
The everyday risks that keep families up at night are familiar ones: a parent who wanders out the front door, a stove left on after lunch, a fall in the hallway at night, or meals that quietly get skipped.
A trained caregiver keeps an eye on all of it. They look around the home for things that could cause trouble, keep the lighting bright and the walkways clear of rugs and clutter, and stay close by so your loved one is never alone at the moments that matter. Confusion can set in fast. The caregiver answers it with a calm voice and gently steers your loved one back toward something familiar, without arguing and without rushing.
A safe home should still feel like their home, and our article on balancing safety and dignity in Alzheimer's care shares how we think about that balance.
Every family caring for someone with dementia should also know what to do if a loved one goes missing. Contact local law enforcement right away. Texas created its Silver Alert program by state law in 2007 to let the public know about a missing older adult with a documented condition. The person needs to be 65 or older or diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, the family provides documentation from a medical or mental health professional, and the request has to be made within 72 hours of the disappearance.
Care Plans That Change as Dementia Progresses
Dementia changes over time, so the care plan changes along with it.
A few hours a week is often enough in the early stages: someone for companionship, help keeping the daily routine on track, and a ride to the grocery store or the doctor. Longer visits usually come next, as personal care needs grow, with help at bath time, at meals and through the afternoon. Overnight care often follows later on, so someone is awake and nearby when your loved one is up at night.
We have no hourly minimums. You can start with exactly what your family needs today, even a single one-hour visit, and take your time adding more. More support can be added to the plan of care as needs increase.
Our 24-hour home care covers the day and the night for families who want someone there around the clock. Some families choose live-in home care, where one caregiver lives in the home and becomes a steady, familiar face.
All of the caregivers are awesome but our regular is totally the perfect person for Mom. She does everything we ask and then some…
Relief for Family Caregivers in Katy
Caring for someone with dementia wears on a spouse or a grown son or daughter, often more than they let on. Texas has an estimated 1,287,000 unpaid dementia caregivers, and that is a lot of families carrying a heavy load at home.
Scheduled visits from one of our caregivers give some of that time back. You can rest, go to work, run errands, or simply sit down with your loved one and be their wife, husband, son or daughter again for a while.
That kind of break is called respite. Dementia respite care in Katy can be a few hours, a week, every day, or 24-hour care so you can take a vacation, and you can read more on our page about respite care for family caregivers.
Serving Katy, Cinco Ranch and the Surrounding Area
We provide home care in Katy, home care in Cinco Ranch and home care in West Houston, along with the surrounding areas.
About one in four Katy households has someone 65 or older living in it, and 760 Katy seniors live on their own. Those are the parents and grandparents in the houses on your street, and the families checking on them between work and school pickups.
Katy sits across three counties: Harris, Waller and Fort Bend. That matters when you look for caregiver support, because the Area Agency on Aging you turn to depends on which side of the county line your house is on. Families on the Harris County side work with the Harris County Area Agency on Aging, and families in Fort Bend or Waller County are served by the Houston-Galveston Area Agency on Aging.
Our caregivers can also go along to appointments at Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital or Houston Methodist West Hospital, so your loved one has a familiar face with them in the waiting room.
Why Katy Families Trust At Your Side Home Care
At Your Side Home Care is a licensed home care agency in Texas, and we have been family owned since 2007. Our owners, Donna Wrabel, LMSW, Rick Wrabel and Rudy Wrabel, take part in every case. You will work with them from your very first conversation through the start of care and beyond, so you always know exactly who to turn to.
The owners hand-pick every caregiver. Each one goes through criminal background and reference checks before joining our team, and the owners ask themselves a simple question about each person: would we feel good having them care for our own family?
A calm, familiar face can change the whole day for someone with dementia. That is why assignments are matched to each caregiver's experience and their personality fit with your loved one. We also keep consistent staffing levels, so care stays steady from one week to the next.
One family shared that their mother-in-law, who had Alzheimer's, and their father-in-law were able to stay in their own home for longer because of our care, and that our caregivers were wonderful working with her condition.
When you're ready, fill out our Get Started form and one of our caring staff members will reach out to talk through your loved one's needs and answer anything particular to your family.
