Expert Memory Care in Sewickley

Memory care at home in Sewickley focuses on the operational details that keep a loved one with cognitive decline oriented in familiar rooms. Care Solutions of Pittsburgh sends caregivers trained in Alzheimer's, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, MCI, and frontotemporal dementia. The first home visit walks every room, marking trip hazards, adding nightlights along low-light hallways, labeling drawers and cabinets with photos or simple words, and reviewing exits for wandering risk. Door alarms, motion sensors, and GPS bracelets are coordinated with the family when needed. A steady daily rhythm of wake, breakfast, morning activity, lunch, quiet 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 when language fails. The spouse or adult child providing most of the care gets reliable respite hours, sometimes for sleep, sometimes for their own medical appointments. We accept memory clinic and neurology referrals from Heritage Valley Sewickley, UPMC, and AHN. Plans are reviewed often as cognition changes. Caregivers also help with personal hygiene, transfers, and light housekeeping. Familiar foods are prepared on schedule to support appetite. Each shift ends with a written summary for the family so the spouse or adult child knows how the day went before walking in.
