Specialized Support for All Stages and All Types of Dementia

At Just Like Family Home Care West Vancouver, we understand that dementia is not a one-size-fits-all condition. From Alzheimer’s disease to Lewy Body Dementia, Vascular Dementia, and Frontotemporal Dementia, each diagnosis presents its own unique challenges. That’s why our caregivers receive specialized dementia training to provide respectful, person-centered support for individuals at all stages of dementia, including those experiencing symptoms like sundowning.

When your loved one is navigating cognitive decline, it’s vital to have a care team that understands the nuances of their condition and can respond with compassion, expertise, and consistency. That’s what we provide—so families in West Vancouver can experience peace of mind and loved ones can thrive in the familiarity of home.

Comprehensive Dementia Care in West Van—Trained for All Diagnoses

Our team is extensively trained to recognize and respond to the specific behaviors, risks, and care needs that come with different types of dementia:

Alzheimer’s Disease: Support includes memory cues, routine reinforcement, and assistance with day-to-day tasks as memory and cognition decline gradually over time.

Lewy Body Dementia: This complex type of dementia may include hallucinations, Parkinson-like symptoms, and sleep disturbances. Our caregivers are trained to respond calmly, manage visual misperceptions, and maintain safety in the home.

Vascular Dementia: Often related to stroke or circulatory problems, this form of dementia can involve sudden changes in abilities. We focus on consistency, physical support, and cognitive stimulation to help maintain skills.

Frontotemporal Dementia: Characterized by personality changes, inappropriate behavior, and language difficulties. Our caregivers are trained to use behavioral redirection and communicate effectively while supporting dignity and emotional well-being.

Support at All Stages—From Early to Advanced

We meet your loved one where they are in their dementia journey, adapting care as their condition progresses:

Early Stage Dementia: Encouraging independence, supporting daily routines, memory reminders, and offering companionship that helps maintain social connection.

Middle Stage Dementia: Managing complex behaviors, assisting with mobility and hygiene, ensuring medication adherence, and helping prevent wandering or agitation.

Late Stage Dementia: Full assistance with all activities of daily living, ongoing supervision, non-verbal communication support, and creating a calm, nurturing environment.

Specialized Strategies for Sundowning and Behavioural Support

Many individuals with dementia experience sundowning—confusion, restlessness, or agitation that worsens in the late afternoon and evening. Our caregivers are trained in:

Soothing routines that promote relaxation in the evening
Minimizing stimulation and shadows in the home
Using music therapy, sensory activities, and calming conversation
De-escalation techniques and emotional redirection for moments of distress or aggression.
