Who this program is for
Built for families navigating memory loss together

Whether you’re noticing the first small changes or managing round-the-clock needs, our companions meet your family where you are.

Memory loss, at any stage

Early, middle, or late — care plans are personalized and adjust as needs change, with no extra cost for the specialized program.

Wandering & safety concerns

We perform a safety walk-through with family representative to assist in identifying and addressing potential safety issues.

Family caregivers who need support

You are a caregiver too. We provide respite, structured communication, and a 24/7 line — so you don’t carry this alone.

Assisted Living Home Care Services 2021 Commercial 1
Family Communication
You're supported every step of the way

Structured check-ins keep you informed — and remind you that you don’t have to manage this alone.

Orientation meeting

We review the program, the care plan, and your preferred way to stay in touch.

30 / 60 / 90-day reviews

In-home conferences to review progress, then quarterly visits and regular contact after.

24/7 on-call line

Urgent concern after hours? A supervisor is always reachable.

Respite & referrals

Flexible scheduling for family relief, plus connections to statewide caregiver resources.

What makes this program different
A best-in-class approach to memory care at home
Trained Companions

Every companion assigned to a memory care client completes our full training curriculum.

Credentialed Leadership

Directors, Client Service Managers, and Community Outreach Representatives complete a Dementia Practitioner Certification, Dementia LIVE Experiential Training, and ongoing memory care education…with a Certified Senior Advisor and Dementia LIVE Trainer on-staff.

Catered, Custom Care

Before care begins, we document routines, relationships, music, and comfort foods, so care is built around the person, not a checklist.

Evidence-Informed

Companions use Teepa Snow’s GEMS state-matching model and Naomi Feil’s Validation approach to communicate with warmth and reduce distress.

Memory Care ToolKit

A kit of engagement items—personalized with family contributions—plus Caregiver Cue Cards are part of a comprehensive reference guide that your companion can use each shift.

Familiar Faces, Like Family

Typically 1 to 2 dedicated companions per client on a steady weekly schedule, so trust and routine build over time.

24/7 Family Support

An on-call supervisor is available around the clock, with scheduled check-ins, so you always know how things are going.
