Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Schedules will not, ever, work with those with dementia. The key is to remain flexible, even with the best laid plans. Sure there are things that should be done daily, but to plan down to the minute is not usually possible.
Totally agree. My mom used to have a schedule for bathing and hair, and it didn't work out because she would be having a bad day. Now we do it when she's up to it.
I do not think there is such a place. But...why not repost this question to ask people here for advice? Honestly, the best source of information is going to be the caregivers here who have been doing this job.,.some for years.
this will also be sort of personal, For example, before breakfast my Mom had to have a laxative with juice....not very many would need that on their schedule...eh?
right after getting everyone into the bathroom, dressed and breakfast...the beds were striped and into the washing machine...every day. Needed them back out and the beds remade before noon.
I don't think there is any benefit to cookie cutter plans, every person needs a plan tailored to fill the gaps in their own abilities. In general care plans are based on ADLs Bathing/Dressing/Grooming/Mouth care/Toileting/Transferring bed/chair/Walking/Climbing stairs/Eating and IADLs Shopping/Cooking/Managing medications/Using the phone and looking up numbers/Doing housework/Doing laundry/Driving or using public transportation/Managing finances

Like said, hard to keep to a schedule as such. In Moms AL, bathing was 2x a week. If u wanted more u paid for it. I bathed Mom 3x a week. Primarily because she had a BO problem and she was allergic to practically all deodorants. And having some incontinence. In between baths I washed her underarms before I dressed her. For a short time I had an aide come Monday, Wed and Sat.
Our typical day was get up and dressed then breakfast. If one of the days mentioned the aide would bathe her first and dress her then breakfast. Some TV till lunch. TV till dinner ( Mom had lost the ability to read. Never played games or did puzzles). We would go out to dinner or eat in. After dinner TV with us. 9pm she was ready for bed. So change into bed clothes and tuck her in. She would get up in the middle of the night but back to bed when I told her still dark out. Up at 8pm. Later she had Adult care 3x a week. So up earlier because the bus picked her up at 8 and dropped her off at 2:30. Breakfast and lunch were served at Adult care. Appts were made in the afternoon because mornings were the hectic time.
