Alzheimer’s support services are non-medical in-home assistance for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, including supervision, companionship, and help with daily activities. At Seniors Helping Seniors®, those services are provided by experienced, mature caregivers who share the same generational background as the people they care for.
Alzheimer’s support services are part of a broader home care plan designed to help individuals remain safely at home as cognitive needs increase. Most families reach out when wandering, fall risk, or unsafe situations like leaving the stove on become regular concerns.

If any of these situations sound familiar, the risk of wandering, falls, or unsafe events at home is already elevated and should be addressed before a crisis occurs. Many families looking for in-home support for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia recognize one or more of these scenarios.
Your loved one is leaving the stove on, wandering, or doing things that put them at risk when alone.
You have been the primary caregiver and need consistent time off without placing your loved one in a facility.
Cognitive decline has reduced their social world, and familiar human contact is becoming rare.
Bathing, dressing, and preparing meals are becoming difficult to manage independently.
You need someone trusted and consistent checking in and providing Alzheimer's support regularly.
The same caregivers, visit after visit
Consistent care means the same caregiver showing up, building familiarity, and following structured routines. For individuals with Alzheimer’s, that consistency reduces confusion, agitation, and safety risks. We track the Continuity of Care Index to make sure the same caregivers stay with the same clients over time, and most agencies do not measure this at all.
Caregivers who connect naturally
Our experienced, mature caregivers share the same generational touchpoints as the people they serve. When someone remembers the same music, events, and eras as your loved one, the connection comes naturally and engagement is easier even as cognitive function changes.
Contracted with VA, Medicare Advantage, and PACE
A small percentage of home care agencies hold contracts with any one of these programs. We hold all three, and eligible clients may receive Alzheimer’s support services at zero out-of-pocket cost.
Most families have a caregiver in place within 48 hours to one week of the initial call. Here is what to expect at each step.
Call us or reach out online. Our intake coordinator will spend about 15 minutes learning your loved one's needs, answering your questions, and confirming whether Alzheimer's support services are the right next step.
If you decide to move forward, documents are sent digitally. If you prefer to handle paperwork in person, we can accommodate that.
A registered nurse visits the home for about one hour. This typically happens within 24 to 48 hours of the initial call. The nurse pays particular attention to wandering and fall risks in the home.
We match your loved one with caregivers based on skill set, availability, proximity, and personality.
Simple schedules can start within a couple of days. More complex arrangements, including 24/7 rotating coverage, may take a few extra days.
Most families pay privately, but eligible veterans and those with certain Medicare Advantage or PACE plans may have coverage options that reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs.
We bill every other week for the previous two weeks of service. No upfront payment is required.
Eligible veterans receive services at zero out-of-pocket cost. The VA authorizes a specific number of weekly hours, typically 4 to 20, and we schedule care accordingly. Learn about home care for veterans in Sarasota.
Qualifying Medicare Advantage plans may cover in-home care at zero out-of-pocket cost, based on the individual plan and authorized hours.
Individuals enrolled in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly may receive services at zero out-of-pocket cost.

Most families start with a short 10 to 15 minute call to talk through the situation and see whether our services are the right fit. There is no obligation to move forward.
Alzheimer’s disease is a specific type of dementia. Dementia is the broader umbrella term covering Alzheimer’s and other conditions that affect memory and cognition. The services we provide are called dementia support services. They are non-medical in-home assistance that includes supervision, companionship, personal care, and help with daily activities. These services support individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Our caregivers provide non-medical support: supervision, personal care, and companionship. We are well-suited for individuals who need consistent in-home presence and hands-on daily assistance. For questions about whether we are the right fit for your loved one’s current level of need, the best first step is a brief call with our intake coordinator.
From the initial phone call to the start of care, the typical timeline is 48 hours to one week. A registered nurse visits the home for an assessment within 24 to 48 hours of the initial contact, and caregiver matching follows from there. More complex or high-frequency schedules may take a few extra days to coordinate.
Yes, that is the goal. Consistent caregiver assignment is especially important for individuals with Alzheimer’s, who benefit from familiar faces and predictable routines. We track our Continuity of Care Index to make sure clients are not dealing with a rotating cast of unfamiliar caregivers. When a caregiver change is needed, we plan the transition carefully rather than making an abrupt switch.
If the match is not working, we make a change. We listen to feedback from families, adjust as needed, and introduce a caregiver who is a better fit. A mismatched pairing works against the consistency we are trying to build, so when it happens, we address it promptly.
Yes. Support is available around the clock, including overnight. For overnight shifts, caregivers are required to stay awake throughout the night to safely assist clients who may get up frequently or become disoriented.
Yes. Before care begins, a registered nurse visits the home for an approximately one-hour assessment. The nurse evaluates the client’s care needs, the home environment, and fall prevention factors. This assessment informs both the care plan and the caregiver match.
