Specialized Dementia Care
Tribute is specially trained to care for dementia clients with a combination of compassion, patience, and practical strategies.
Skilled Dementia Care that Celebrates the Individual
We recognize that dementia and memory issues manifest themselves in many ways. That’s why our Client Solutions and Caregivers take the time to get to your client on a personal level. We get to know their personal interests, likes, hobbies, favorite foods, and life stories so we have multiple ways to comfort them and lift their spirits during times of confusion or anxiety.
Comprehensive Training
All our Caregivers are required to complete comprehensive dementia training, ensuring they understand the various stages of dementia, how to communicate effectively, and how to handle behavioral changes. They learn:
Types and Stages of Progression: Understanding different types of dementia and the stages it goes through as it progresses.
Communication Skills: Strategies to work through cognitive challenges and behavioral symptoms.
Environment Management: Creating safe, comfortable environments to reduce agitation and confusion, particularly during sundowning and other challenging times of day.
Shadowing Program
There’s no substitute for real-world experience when it comes to supporting dementia clients. New caregivers accompany seasoned team members on client visits, gaining invaluable insights into maintaining calm under pressure, managing daily routines with ease, and bringing moments of joy to those in need. These hands-on experiences not only help meet the challenges of dementia care but they help Caregivers lift and support each other.
Close Oversight and 24/7 Support
Our care extends beyond daily routines. Our nurses and Client Solutions Managers visit dementia clients frequently to monitor changes in the client’s condition and to support our Caregivers with challenging situations. We are there for them 24/7 for anything that requires additional support or attention to give you, your client, and their family peace of mind.
