Dementia & Memory Support
Dementia & Memory Support Built Around the Person
A dementia diagnosis can change daily life, but it does not change the person's need for dignity, familiarity, meaningful connection and compassionate support.
Inclusive Quality Care Ltd. provides personalized one-to-one dementia and memory support based on the individual's routines, abilities, interests, comfort and changing needs.
Our goal is to help everyday life feel more familiar, supported and manageable for the senior and their family.
Support for Familiar Routines, Comfort and Everyday Life
Support can be adjusted around the individual's abilities, routines, interests and the areas where additional help would make everyday life feel more manageable.
Familiar Daily Routines
Gentle support with regular routines that can help the day feel more predictable, familiar and comfortable.
Personal Care
Respectful assistance with dressing, grooming, hygiene and other personal routines while protecting dignity and encouraging participation.
Meals & Hydration
Support with meal preparation, familiar food routines, encouragement and keeping drinks within easy reach.
Companionship
Patient conversation, reassurance, listening and meaningful one-to-one connection based on the person's comfort and communication style.
Meaningful Activities
Music, photographs, puzzles, crafts, walks, household activities and other familiar interests that encourage engagement and connection.
Home Support
Light housekeeping, laundry, organization and assistance with household tasks that can help maintain a familiar home environment.
Connection Can Happen Through Familiar Activities
Meaningful support does not always have to involve a complicated program. Sometimes the most valuable moments happen through everyday activities the person already knows and enjoys.
We can learn about the senior's interests, routines, work history, family traditions, favourite music and activities to help make one-to-one time feel more personal.
- Looking through family photographs
- Listening to favourite music
- Preparing a simple snack or cup of tea
- Folding laundry or completing familiar household tasks
- Doing puzzles, crafts or simple games
- Walking, sitting outdoors or enjoying community outings
We Meet the Person Where They Are
Dementia can affect memory, communication, confidence, routines and how someone experiences their surroundings. Support should remain patient, flexible and respectful.
We adjust our approach based on what helps the individual feel comfortable and understood that day.
Patience
Providing time and avoiding unnecessary rushing.
Familiarity
Building support around recognizable routines and interests.
Dignity
Speaking respectfully and including the person in decisions.
Flexibility
Adjusting activities and expectations as needs change.
Choice
Offering simple choices and encouraging participation.
Reassurance
Providing a calm and supportive presence during difficult moments.
Caregivers Need Support Too
Supporting someone living with dementia can be meaningful, but it can also require a great deal of time, patience, planning and emotional energy.
Respite and one-to-one support can give family caregivers time to rest, attend appointments, work, complete errands or simply take a break while knowing their loved one has compassionate company.
Dementia Support Can Include
A trusted support person spending time with your loved one while you attend to other responsibilities.
Assistance with familiar daily routines, meals, companionship and meaningful activities.
Support that can be adjusted as routines, abilities and family needs change.
Communication with the family about preferences, routines and observations related to the scheduled visit.
Everyday Support May Change Over Time
As dementia progresses, families may notice changes in routines, confidence, communication and the amount of support needed during the day.
Routine Changes
Familiar tasks may begin taking more time or require additional prompting and reassurance.
Home Safety
Household organization, walking pathways and everyday access may need to be reviewed as needs change.
