Alzheimer’s support services are non-medical in-home assistance for seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive decline, including supervision, companionship, personal care, and daily living assistance. At Seniors Helping Seniors®, our caregivers are experienced, mature adults who share common ground with the people they serve.
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. Non-medical Alzheimer’s support is a good fit for families navigating a range of situations related to memory loss and cognitive change.
A loved one is still fairly independent but needs structure and supervision throughout the day.
The family is worried about wandering, leaving the stove on, or falls happening without anyone around. Our fall prevention services address these risks directly.
A spouse or adult child is the primary caregiver and needs consistent, scheduled relief to avoid burnout. See our family caregiver support services.
A loved one is disengaged, spending most of their time alone without meaningful stimulation or interaction.
The family has a recent diagnosis and is figuring out what kind of ongoing support is needed.
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 share their clients' world
Our caregivers are experienced, mature adults who draw on shared generational memories and life experience. That familiarity makes engagement easier, even as cognitive function changes.
Contracted with VA, Medicare Advantage, and PACE
Only 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.
In-home safety assessment before care begins
Before any care starts, a registered nurse visits the home to evaluate safety, identify fall and wandering risks, and assess your loved one’s specific needs.
At Seniors Helping Seniors®, most families go from first call to active care in 48 hours to one week. Here is what that process looks like.
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'd like to proceed, documents are sent digitally. If you'd 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 your first 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.
Your schedule is confirmed and care gets underway, typically within a week of that first call.
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 care. No upfront payment is required.
Eligible veterans pay zero out of pocket. The VA authorizes a set number of weekly hours, typically 4 to 20, and we schedule care accordingly. See our home care for veterans page for details.
Clients in qualifying plans may receive services at zero out-of-pocket cost. The plan authorizes weekly hours and we schedule within that.
Individuals enrolled in PACE receive services at zero out-of-pocket cost. PACE authorizes a specific number of weekly hours.

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 one specific type of dementia. Dementia is the broader category, which includes Alzheimer’s and several other conditions that affect memory and cognition. At Seniors Helping Seniors®, we provide non-medical dementia support services for individuals living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of cognitive decline. These services focus on supervision, companionship, safety, and daily living support, not medical treatment or clinical care.
Our caregivers provide non-medical support. For individuals who require full-lift physical assistance or complex medical care, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider about whether our services are the right fit. For many families navigating moderate cognitive decline, our caregivers provide meaningful daily support that keeps their loved one safely at home.
Consistency matters especially for seniors with Alzheimer’s, since unfamiliar faces can increase confusion and anxiety. We actively track the Continuity of Care Index, which measures whether the same caregivers are regularly assigned to the same clients over time. That consistency reduces disruption and means a caregiver who genuinely knows your loved one.
Before care begins, a registered nurse visits your loved one’s home for approximately one hour. The nurse evaluates the individual’s care needs, reviews the home environment for safety hazards including fall risks, bathroom safety, and walkway hazards, and gathers the information needed to match the right caregivers. This assessment typically happens within 24 to 48 hours of your first call.
Yes. We are contracted with the Veterans Administration, and eligible veterans receive services at zero out-of-pocket cost. The VA assesses each veteran individually and authorizes a specific number of weekly hours, typically between 4 and 20 hours per week.
From your first call to the start of care, the typical timeline is 48 hours to one week, depending on how comprehensive the care schedule is. Simpler schedules can often be staffed within a couple of days. If your situation is urgent, reach out by phone and let us know.
Care schedules start from as few as 6 hours per week and can scale up to 24/7 continuous care. For around-the-clock coverage, multiple caregivers rotate in shifts. Overnight caregivers are required to stay awake throughout their shift to safely assist clients who may get up frequently or become disoriented at night.
