Dementia Support

Overview

Our Dementia Support service is dedicated to enhancing the lives of individuals with dementia and their caregivers. We understand that dementia poses unique challenges and our compassionate approach focuses on providing care that respects the individual’s dignity while addressing their specific needs. In the first step, we work closely with caregivers and healthcare providers to develop an understanding of the client’s medical history and current cognitive abilities. This understanding allows us to tailor activities, routines, and interventions that promote comfort, engagement, and a sense of normalcy.

In the next phase, we emphasize consistent and supportive care routines that help manage the symptoms of dementia. By integrating strategies like memory aids, specialized communication techniques, and personalized activities, we strive to maintain the client’s quality of life. Our team is trained in the latest dementia care practices, ensuring that we offer support that is both empathetic and effective.

What they say about us

Rose Anne Dioguardi has truly been a life saver for both myself and my sister. Living over 3 hours away, I cannot always be on top of issues affecting my sister's life, but Rose Anne is not only on top of issues, she anticipates and avoids most issues. Be it the quality of the caregivers, taking my sister to a doctor's appointment and following up on things, or simply improving the personal surroundings of my sister. Rose Anne can solve the problem more quickly than I ever could. Her sensible, no nonsense, but caring attitude have gained her the trust of my sister, and allowed me to feel assured that I can leave my sister in her home and allow her to age peacefully without being institutionalized. I cannot recommend anyone more highly.

During a crisis, there's nothing more important than working with someone who has answers and local resources at the tip of their fingers. This is something one really only acquires through years of experience, which she certainly has.

I met Rosanne in 2019 when she was serving as the geriatric care manager for a husband and wife who were at a very difficult stage of their lives and who had no local family to help with the daily medical needs they were requiring. Roseanne reached out to me, as she saw the need for a primary care physician who could provide home visits to this aging couple. Without the extensive services that Roseanne put in place, this couple would have surely been separated, one in a memory care facility and the other likely in a nursing home. They continued to live at home together with the expert help provided by Roseanne. I continue to work with Roseanne and trust that she will provide the most compassionate care and recommendations to my elderly patients.

I wholeheartedly recommend Rose Anne. She guided me through a confusing and emotional process. She evaluated our family’s situation with a focus on my dad's needs, something that was hard for me to do objectively. I’m so glad I found her.

We used AWG’s services when we needed assistance setting up a home care plan. Rose Anne was instrumental in helping us navigate through the various home care aide agencies and assisting us with general home care management. We are so grateful for her expertise. Her recommendations were excellent!
