Seniors with memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer's can require a broad range of assistance; and it can take a great deal of patience and kindness to lovingly guide them through this stage of life. Enlisting a caregiver can help both seniors and their loved ones; in-home care can provide benefits from social stimulation to an extra set of eyes and ears in the home.

Seniors Helping Seniors® Central PA in-home care services provide needed assistance to seniors suffering from memory impairment. Our compassionate, non-medical home care is available throughout Reading, Lancaster, Wyomissing, and surrounding areas – any day of the week and any hour of the day, including overnight.

Our team members understand the impacts of memory impairment; they’re trained in how to care for a memory-impaired senior and how to be of assistance to you. For example, as forgetfulness or lack of focus becomes more pronounced, we can report this to the family and/or the senior’s physician; this can help track the progression of the condition and guide changes to the senior’s care as needed.

We know that caring for a loved one with memory impairment can be very stressful. Our Seniors Helping Seniors® caregivers help shoulder that burden so you can spend more quality time with your senior.
