Compassionate In-Home Care for Seniors with Dementia in Des Moines.

Dementia affects millions of seniors in the United States. When it impacts someone in your family, the experience can be both challenging and exhausting. The term “dementia” describes a condition in which symptoms such as impaired judgment and memory loss become serious enough to interfere with daily activities. If your loved one is still living at home, dementia can sometimes put them at risk. Over time, it may also lead to declining health, as well as noticeable changes in behavior and personality.
