ALZHEIMER/ DEMENTIA CARE
Professional. Reliable. Qualified Caregivers
This is a very unique and specialized field in our services. To care for persons with Alzheimer or any other type of dementia requires our Vancouver Caregivers to posses certain personality, approach, knowledge, understanding and experience. Many of us have a tendency of thinking about our parents or loved one requiring care as a child. By thinking this way we run risk of treating them like a child. Our team knows well that even though a dementia patient might be retiring too early in terms of ability, they still have the spirit and soul that, if treated without dignity could be easily broken.
