Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
Steady, patient care for memory loss, at home
Dementia care lives or dies on consistency. A familiar face, the same routine, the same words at the same time of day. That is exactly what a rotating cast of strangers cannot give, and it is what we build our dementia schedules around.
Quick answer
A Precious Elder provides in-home Alzheimer's and dementia care in the South Bay with the same trained caregiver on a consistent schedule, covering supervision, redirection, personal care, meals and safety, from a few hours a day to 24 hours.
Our caregivers complete dementia-specific training on top of their state-required hours. They know how to redirect instead of argue, how to handle sundowning, how to make a shower feel safe, and how to tell you honestly when the care plan needs to change. Many families start with daytime hours and grow into overnight or 24-hour coverage with the same team.

Dementia Care questions
How is your dementia care different from regular companion care?
Three things: caregivers with dementia-specific training, tighter consistency in who comes and when, and a care plan written around triggers and routines rather than a task list. We also review the plan more often, because dementia changes.
Can you provide 24-hour dementia care at home?
Yes. We staff 24-hour care with a small, fixed team of caregivers who know your parent, in shifts, so someone is awake and attentive at night.
Is home care or memory care cheaper for dementia?
For a few hours a day, home care is far cheaper. At 24 hours a day, home care in the South Bay usually costs more than a memory care community, though the one-to-one attention is something no facility can match. We will give you the honest math for your situation.
