Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

Caring for a loved one with dementia poses many challenges for families and caregivers. People with dementia from conditions such as Alzheimer’s and related diseases have a progressive biological brain disorder that makes it more and more difficult for them to remember things, think clearly, communicate with others, and take care of themselves. In addition, dementia can cause mood swings and even change a person’s personality and behavior. With the right support, someone who has dementia may be able to continue living at home for a long time.

Dementia or Alzheimer’s can impact every moment. It can diminish a person’s senses – changing the tastes and aromas they used to enjoy. Sounds that once brought smiles and comfort evolve into just noise. Even what a person sees gets interpreted differently in the brain. What a person living with dementia or Alzheimer’s used to do easily every day now becomes insurmountable challenges. Furthermore, having memory loss and difficulty learning new things means that someone with dementia may forget where they are, where things are and how things work.

ParaMed’s Alzheimer’s care finds ways to climb those mountains and provide the quality of life that not only are they used to, but that they deserve.

At Paramed, our program provides support to clients and families managing and coping with the daily challenges associated with dementia including Alzheimer’s disease. Our trained staff will provide dignified and respectful personal care and companionship with a focus on building relationships in a safe environment. In addition, this program provides an opportunity for caregiver relief.

When you put your loved one’s care in our hands, we will develop a personalized plan to make sure their specific needs are met, and that they are completely comfortable.

At ParaMed, we provide comprehensive care for clients who have dementia and other mental illnesses in their own homes. We ensure our nurses are available to assess our clients’ needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We strive to ensure every aspect of our clients’ lives are fulfilled including nutrition, medical care, therapy, daily monitoring, and more.

My niece in Alberta is often on the phone with me while they are here and she is grateful that they are so good with me. She is very concerned about my health and she has said often that she feels better knowing that I have such caring home care workers.

Client’s granddaughter Amanda called to report how much they appreciate Tsehay. They state she treats her grandmother like it’s her own grandmother. She is so calm and patient but takes the lead when she needs to. Her grandmother looks forward to the days that she knows Tsehay is coming to see her.

Patricia was diagnosed is February and has been having a hard time dealing with the fact that she has lost all function of her legs and has minimum function of her arms. She said that it brightens her day when Haicha comes. She is such a positive person and a great help. Haicha has made it so much easier for Patricia to cope with her diagnosis and the fact that she needs help from others now.

Patients are my life, I go to their homes and when they come back from the hospital and help…As a kid, I observed other nurses and how they did their job and I admired them. Everything you want others to do for you, you do for others

Questions & Answers

Do I get to choose my nurse/personal support worker?

ParaMed works with you on matching yourself or your loved one with a ParaMed employee.

Will my loved one always receive care from the same caregiver?

Our goal is to establish a long-term care-giving relationship with your loved one. We understand that a strong and consistent rapport with the same caregiver is extremely important for a successful home care experience. If your loved one receives care for many hours a day it is often necessary to schedule an additional caregivers, however, our goal of providing consistent care is the same. We want all of our patients and family to be happy and confident with ParaMed and we will do what it takes to achieve that goal.

Do you only provide home care to seniors?

We provide home care services to anyone needing care, regardless of age.

What if we don’t like the home health caregiver?

Simple, we will send another. We want you and your Mom or Dad to be comfortable with their aide(s).

Do I pay the caregiver directly?

No. Clients are invoiced once per month. You never have to pay caregivers directly nor will you ever be asked to pay any additional fees to an employee.

Can I change or discontinue services for my loved one?

Yes. You can change the number of visits or type of care provided at any time. We understand that needs can change in an instant and we are flexible as possible with your loved one’s care. There are no weekly or monthly minimum requirements. There is a two hour minimum visit. You are never bound to a long term contract. You can discontinue services with ParaMed at any time.

What happens if we need more support?

Give ParaMed a call right away, we can add more services and work with you on selecting the services you need.

How does ParaMed screen for a new employee?

Potential employee applications are reviewed by a member of our Human Resources team to determine if the person’s qualifications match our requirements. This includes a review of their education, experience, and responses to our on line questionnaire.. The most qualified candidates are contacted for a pre screen. A Pre Screen consists of a phone call with a member of our Human Resources team. A representative calls the potential employee a series of questions to get more information about their qualifications, preferences and experience. This call lasts only 5-10 minutes. Following the call, responses are evaluated and the most qualified candidates are invited to participate in an in-person interview. During the interview, we ask a series of questions to determine the potential employee’s suitability for the position. We recommend that candidates bring a resume and references and they may be asked to provide additional documents such as proof of education. The interview typically lasts 30-60 minutes. Following the interview, responses are compared against that of other candidates. If the candidate is successful, the next stage includes the completion of background checks. Then the new employee begins their new career with a paid orientation at ParaMed!
