Expert Memory Care in Schenley

In-home memory care in Schenley brings dementia-trained caregivers to a small Armstrong County community. Care Solutions of Pittsburgh works with Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, MCI, and frontotemporal dementia. The first home visit marks fall hazards along low-light paths, adds nightlights between bedroom and bathroom, labels drawers and cabinets with photos or simple words, and reviews every exit for wandering risk. Door alarms and GPS bracelets are coordinated with the family when needed. A steady daily rhythm of wake, breakfast, morning activity, lunch, rest, and calm late afternoon reduces confusion and supports better sleep. Sundowning protocols begin by mid-afternoon with dim lamps, soft music, and a light early supper. Caregivers communicate in short sentences and one-step instructions, with gestures and pointing when language fails. The spouse or adult child carrying the day-to-day load gets dependable respite hours so they can sleep, work, or attend their own appointments. We accept memory clinic and neurology referrals from ACMH, Allegheny Valley Hospital, UPMC, and AHN. Care plans are reviewed often as cognition changes. Caregivers also assist with bathing, dressing, and mobility, especially when gait changes appear. Familiar meals are kept on schedule to anchor appetite. Shift notes are shared with the family so trends can be flagged for the loved one's neurologist or primary care doctor.
