Dementia Care
Routine-based dementia support from caregivers trained in redirection, validation, and calm communication. Consistent daily patterns reduce confusion and agitation, including through the difficult sundowning hours.
In-Home Senior Care
Memory Care Support
Specialized in-home support for families navigating Alzheimer's, dementia, and cognitive decline.
What's Included
What This Looks Like
Memory care support goes far beyond basic supervision. Our caregivers are trained in dementia-specific communication techniques, redirection strategies, and cognitive stimulation activities that help maintain function and reduce agitation.
Routine is everything for someone with memory loss. We maintain consistent daily patterns, from morning rituals to mealtime to bedtime, because predictability reduces confusion and anxiety. Your caregiver learns exactly how your loved one likes things done and keeps it that way.
Safety monitoring addresses the real risks of cognitive decline. Wandering prevention, stove safety, medication adherence, and fall risk. We watch without hovering, keeping your loved one safe while preserving their sense of autonomy.
We also support the family. Dementia caregiving is emotionally exhausting, and we communicate openly about what we observe, changes in behavior, good days and hard days, so you can make informed decisions about care as the condition progresses.

Our Caregiver Standard
“Skill gets a caregiver through the door. Character is what earns them a place on my team. Every caregiver I bring on is held to the same standard as our Ativo Senior Living teams, because that is the standard a family deserves when they open their door to us. The people who make it through are the people I would want caring for my own parents.”
Gabriela Ordonez
Director, Ativo Home Care Arizona
Flexibility Built In
How Scheduling Works
Memory care visits range from 4 hours to 24-hour live-in support. Consistency matters more here than any other service, so we assign a small, dedicated team of 2 to 3 caregivers who rotate to ensure your loved one always sees a familiar face. As dementia progresses, hours often increase gradually.

FAQ
Questions About Memory Care Support
We hear these questions every week about memory care support. If yours is not here, call us. We would rather spend 10 minutes on the phone than leave you guessing.
How is this different from a memory care facility?
In-home memory care provides one-on-one attention in a familiar environment. Facilities offer 24/7 staffing but with shared attention across many residents. For early to mid-stage dementia, home-based care often produces better outcomes because the familiar surroundings reduce confusion and agitation.
What dementia training do your caregivers have?
All memory care caregivers complete specialized training in Alzheimer's and dementia care, including communication techniques, behavioral management, redirection, validation therapy, and safety protocols. We specifically select caregivers with the patience and temperament this work demands.
Can you handle sundowning and nighttime agitation?
Yes. Sundowning is one of the most common reasons families seek professional help. Our overnight caregivers are experienced with evening agitation, confusion, and sleep disruption. They use calming routines, reduced stimulation, and gentle redirection to help your loved one settle.
What happens when the disease progresses?
We adjust the care plan as needs change. That might mean more hours, additional overnight support, or a second caregiver for mobility assistance. We also help families evaluate when a transition to a higher level of care might be appropriate, with honesty and without pressure.
Do you coordinate with neurologists or other specialists?
We communicate regularly with your loved one's medical team when authorized. We document behavioral changes, medication responses, and functional abilities to give doctors useful information at appointments. We also attend appointments with your loved one when requested.
Not Sure Where to Begin?
