If you're like many who are currently caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's at home, one of the biggest challenges you face is striking the right balance between providing necessary personal care and fostering a sense of independence. However, the desire for autonomy is a fundamental human instinct, and maintaining this can contribute positively to the emotional well-being of someone with Alzheimer's. As a caregiver, you play a crucial role in finding this balance.

Personal home care services include a variety of specialized services that are designed to meet the unique needs of individuals in their own homes. These services range from basic health and hygiene support to more specialized assistance with activities of daily living. While they're often overshadowed by the more "visible" or mainstream home care options, there are a number of less well-known services that can make a difference in the lives of clients.
