Caregivers are often needed to support people with conditions, illnesses or injuries. Challenges like Alzheimer’s and Dementia, ALS, MS, and disabilities are common reasons families contact Griswold for help. We can provide resources and access to training so Caregivers can better assist clients who need extra support for these conditions.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia

Symptoms of early Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia typically include difficulty concentrating and remembering simple items or tasks. In later stages, people with Alzheimer’s or dementia may be unable to care for themselves without assistance. Advanced symptoms like confusion, withdrawal, or wandering and getting lost can be challenging for families to handle. In-home care can provide peace of mind while keeping the client in a familiar environment. Caregivers help seniors suffering from memory loss maintain a high quality of life.

ALS

ALS creates huge challenges when it comes to day-to-day activities. But living with ALS doesn’t have to mean giving up your dignity and independence. If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with ALS, compassionate in-home Caregivers can help manage a wide range of household chores, personal care routines, and errands, and provide general support for the whole family.

Multiple Sclerosis

The progression and severity of MS varies from person to person, but many people with MS need some level of support for personal care functions. Sometimes the responsibility of care falls to loved ones or family members and can place significant strain on important relationships. Professional Caregivers can help those with advanced MS live a rich and rewarding life while remaining in their own homes.

Adults with Disabilities

Living at home can still be an option for people with disabilities. In-home care is a common support system, and professional Caregivers blend in with your family while providing companionship, personal care, and housekeeping support. A Caregiver for your disabled loved one can enable a broader range of activities, mobility, and independence.
