You’re Not Alone in This
Caring for a loved one with memory loss, Alzheimer’s, or other forms of dementia can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it by yourself. We’re here to help your loved one remain safely at home, while still finding comfort, connection, and moments of joy.
A Familiar Home, a Better Experience
Remaining in a familiar environment often leads to better outcomes for those with memory issues or cognitive decline. Home provides a sense of security, reduces confusion, and helps preserve routines making day-to-day life more comfortable and less stressful.
At the same time, we know how demanding this journey can be for family caregivers. Even the most committed care partners need time to rest and recharge. That’s where we come in. Our trained caregivers support individuals with Alzheimer’s, MCI, and other forms of dementia so families can feel confident their loved one is safe, cared for, and supported at home.
Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia
At Compassionate Care STL, we understand the challenges families face when a loved one is living with memory loss or cognitive decline. Dementia is not a single disease—it’s a general term for a decline in memory, thinking, language, and judgment that interferes with daily life. There are more than 100 types of dementia, but a few are more commonly diagnosed:
Alzheimer’s Disease
The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s typically begins with short-term memory loss and language difficulties. It accounts for nearly 70% of all dementia cases.
Vascular Dementia
Often caused by small strokes or reduced blood flow to the brain, this type can bring sudden changes in thinking, reasoning, and behavior.
Lewy Body Dementia
Known for causing visual hallucinations, balance issues, and changes in alertness, this form can be especially challenging to manage at home.
Frontotemporal Dementia
This group of disorders impacts behavior, personality, and language. It’s often diagnosed at a younger age and may appear first as impulsivity or emotional withdrawal.
