Seeing a parent or loved one struggle with dementia can be a difficult and emotional experience. If you suspect that your parent may be showing signs of dementia, it is important to take action and seek help as soon as possible. Here are some steps you can take if you suspect your parent has dementia:

1. Educate yourself: Learn more about dementia and its symptoms. Understanding the condition can help you better support your parent and make informed decisions about their care.

2. Talk to your parent: Approach the topic with sensitivity and compassion. Express your concerns and encourage them to see a doctor for a proper evaluation.

3. Schedule a doctor's appointment: Make an appointment with your parent's primary care physician or a specialist who can assess their cognitive function and provide a diagnosis.

4. Seek support: Reach out to organizations like the Alzheimer's Society or Just Like Family Home Care Burnaby New West for guidance and support. They can offer resources, information, and assistance in navigating the challenges of dementia care.

5. Create a care plan: Work with healthcare professionals to develop a care plan that addresses your parent's needs and preferences. This may include medication management, therapy, and support services.

6. Make necessary adjustments: As dementia progresses, your parent may require additional support and accommodations. Consider making changes to their living environment, implementing safety measures, and exploring care options such as in-home care or assisted living.

7. Take care of yourself: Caring for a parent with dementia can be physically and emotionally draining. Remember to prioritize your own well-being and seek help from friends, family, or support groups.

Remember, early detection and intervention can help improve your parent's quality of life and delay the progression of dementia. By taking proactive steps and seeking appropriate care and support, you can better navigate the challenges of caring for a loved one with dementia. Just Like Family Home Care Burnaby New West is here to support you every step of the way.

🌙 Because Caregivers Need Sleep, Too 🌙

My dad was doing everything he could to care for my mom at home after her dementia progressed—but the nights were the hardest.

She’d be up for hours, pacing, confused, sometimes frightened... classic sundowning. And Dad, out of love and devotion, tried to manage it all on his own. But the exhaustion was catching up with him—and it was breaking my heart to watch.

That’s when we called Just Like Family Home Care.

They provided overnight dementia care so Mom could have a calm, familiar presence by her side—and Dad could finally get the rest he needed to stay healthy himself. No more worrying through the night. No more trying to do it all alone.

Their caregivers were kind, trained, and deeply respectful. They brought peace back to our home.

If your family is in a similar place, please know—help is available. And it’s okay to ask for it. ❤️
