We support your family with hospice for dementia patients
Alzheimer’s and related dementia can be devastating. It slowly erodes memory, presenting challenges not just for the patients themselves, but for the entire family and everyone they hold dear.
We understand the challenges, and through hospice for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients, we empower families and caregivers with actionable skills.
The Positive Approach to Care (PAC) by Teepa Snow provides education, understanding, and resources
The Snow Approach is a philosophy of care that focuses on the brain changes that happen with dementia. Through this program, you’ll learn what to expect and how to adapt to the ever-changing needs and symptoms of dementia. We also help those with dementia develop the skills they need to improve their communication and relationships. The result is a better quality of life so every moment matters even more.
Did you know? Dementia itself is not a diagnosis. This is a term that encompasses more than 120 different types of brain changes. Alzheimer’s disease is just one form of dementia. Every 65 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s disease.
We care for those you love because every moment matters
Through our hospice and palliative care services for dementia we:
- Help manage symptoms, reducing pain, anxiety and other issues associated with dementia-related diseases
- Create a personalized care plan that involves doctors, nurses and other members of your healthcare team
- Provide care at home or in any environment that the patient calls home
- Offer 24/7 patient support
- Provide respite for caregivers
- Offer bereavement and grief support
We assist and empower you with dementia resources for family members
Our caring extends from the patient to their entire families, offering dementia resources for caregivers, dementia caregiver support groups, and Alzheimer’s caregiver support groups.
