MEMORY WELLNESS PROGRAM
Compassionate Care
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, there are approximately 5.4 million people in the United States with Alzheimer’s Disease. Other types of dementia and memory-related diseases affect even more Americans. The effects of Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias related to aging can be minimized with the appropriate care from experts.
The core belief behind our Memory Wellness Program is that there is no one approach to caring for someone with Alzheimer’s Disease or related dementia. Our certified care assistants, companions and homemakers complete a thorough educational training program to help them support clients living with Alzheimer’s Disease, enhance their cognitive functioning and mitigate the effects of the disease to help them live fuller lives.
We collaborate with expert physicians and researchers to continuously improve the customized care each Memory Wellness client receives. Constellation Private Duty caregivers support clients by:
- Participating in mind-stimulating activities
- Maintaining a safe environment
- Managing changing behaviors
- Eating nutritious meals
- Engaging in social interaction
It’s important to know what the typical signs of aging are related to memory and cognition, and what may be an indicator or symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease or a related dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association notes these ten signs of Alzheimer’s:
- Memory loss that disrupts daily life
- Challenges in planning or solving problems
- Difficultly completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure
- Confusion with time or place
- Trouble understanding visual images and special relationships
- New problems with words in speaking or writing
- Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
- Decreased or poor judgment
- Withdrawal from work or social activities
- Changes in mood and personality

Every day, I call my mother from my home in Massachusetts. Today, my mother called me to sing Happy Birthday to my husband. Jacinthe dialed the phone for her. Ever since Jacinthe has been providing care to my mother, there has been a tremendous change in her attitude and well-being. I can hear it in her voice. My mother (almost) always sounds cheerful, which was missing before Jacinthe came to care for her. She is more sociable and interested in current events.
