According to ALZ.org an estimated 6.5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and approximately 50 percent of people over the age of 85 are living with other types of Dementia.

A referred caregiver can assist with memory exercises to combat memory loss and help seniors to remain safe in their homes.
(Non-Medical) Parkinson’s Home Care:
Parkinson’s disease is chronic and progressive, with symptoms that include tremors, fatigue, anxiety, and stiff muscles. As the disease progresses, a person with Parkinson’s may require assistance with daily activities like eating, bathing, dressing, and going to medical appointments.

These are daunting statistics that can be reduced if a senior has the support in the home to reduce their risks of falls. Risk factors contributing to this hazard are functional decline due to aging; medication use along with cognitive impairments and sensory deficits. While seniors are unable to avoid the likelihood of these risk factors, a referred caregiver can reduce the risk of falls based on these risk factors. A caregiver referred by Lynden Nursing Service can be a support system in fall prevention, by assisting with mobility, transfer, medication assistance and more.
Post Hospitalization Care:
It is important for a senior who is being discharged from a hospital to have the proper care once home.
