We create a safe environment through vigilant supervision, fall prevention strategies, and careful attention to potential hazards. Our 24 hour care services ensure someone is always there to respond to emergencies and provide the watchful presence that brings peace of mind.

Consistency is everything when caring for someone with memory loss. Disruptions to daily routines can trigger confusion and distress. Our Nashville team works with family members to establish predictable schedules that provide comfort and reduce anxiety for your loved one.

From morning personal care tasks to meal preparation and evening companionship, we maintain the rhythm your family member needs. Our caregivers gently guide seniors through daily tasks, offering just the right level of assistance while encouraging independence wherever possible.

04. Behavioral Support

Dementia often brings behavioral changes that can be difficult for families to navigate. Agitation, sundowning, and resistance to care require patience and specialized understanding. Our caregivers are trained to respond with calm, compassionate care that addresses these challenges while maintaining your loved one’s dignity.

We approach behavioral support by understanding the person behind the disease. By learning about your family member’s history, interests, and triggers, we can often prevent difficult moments before they occur. When challenges do arise, our caregivers use gentle redirection and reassurance rather than confrontation.

Highlights:

05. Caregiver Education

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia is exhausting, and you don’t have to do it alone. Preferred Care at Home believes that supporting family members is just as important as caring for the senior. Our caregivers work alongside families, sharing insights and techniques that make daily care easier.

We understand that you play such an important role in your loved one’s well-being. Our team can help you recognize changes, communicate more effectively, and find moments of connection even as the disease progresses. This partnership approach ensures your family member receives the best care from everyone involved.

Common Dementia Care Challenges in Nashville

Many Nashville families encounter challenges that make dementia care more complex than expected. Here’s how we help.

Challenge

The Problem

How We Help

Hot, Humid Summers

The Problem

Nashville’s summer heat creates dangers for seniors with dementia who may not recognize dehydration or overheating symptoms.

How We Help

Our caregivers monitor hydration, manage indoor comfort, and ensure your loved one stays safe during extreme weather.

Challenge

Adult Children Working Long Hours

The Problem

Many Nashville families have both parents working, leaving gaps in supervision during the day when a loved one with memory loss shouldn’t be alone.

How We Help

Flexible scheduling allows care during work hours, evenings, or overnight, filling the gaps when family isn’t available.
