Expert Memory Care in Hickory

In-home memory care in Hickory brings trained caregivers to rural Washington County families managing dementia at home. Care Solutions of Pittsburgh works with Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, MCI, and frontotemporal dementia. The first visit covers the home itself, marking fall hazards, adding nightlights along low-light hallways, labeling drawers and cabinets with photos or simple words, and reviewing exits for wandering risk. Door alarms and GPS bracelets are coordinated with the family. A steady daily rhythm of wake, meals, light activity, and rest reduces confusion across all forms of dementia. Sundowning protocols start by late afternoon with dim lamps, familiar music, and a light early supper. Caregivers communicate in short sentences and one-step instructions, with gestures when words slip. The spouse or adult child providing most of the care gets dependable respite hours so they can sleep, work, or attend their own appointments. We accept memory clinic and neurology referrals from Washington Hospital, UPMC, and AHN. Care plans are reviewed often as cognition changes. Caregivers also help with personal hygiene, transfers, and light housekeeping. Familiar meals are prepared on schedule to support appetite and hydration. Each shift ends with a written summary for the family so the spouse or adult child stays informed without having to ask.
