How do I know if my parent needs specialized dementia care at home?
Warning signs include repeated questions, confusion with familiar tasks, difficulty following conversations, changes in judgment, increased anxiety or agitation, and safety concerns like forgetting to turn off appliances. Our nurse-owned team can assess your parent's needs and recommend appropriate care levels, from light supervision to comprehensive dementia support.
What makes NolasHands different for dementia care compared to other agencies?
Our nurse ownership means we understand medication interactions, can recognize concerning behavior changes, and coordinate with your parent's medical team. Unlike franchise models, we provide clinical oversight that catches early warning signs and prevents hospital readmissions. Plus, our "It Takes a Village" approach involves your entire family in care planning.
Can you help with challenging dementia behaviors like sundowning or wandering?
Yes, our caregivers are specially trained in dementia behavior management. We use redirection techniques, establish consistent routines, and create calming environments. For sundowning, we adjust lighting and activities. For wandering concerns, we implement safety measures and engaging activities. Our nurse oversight ensures interventions are appropriate and effective.
How do you support families dealing with dementia caregiver burnout?
Dementia caregiving is particularly exhausting—60% experience severe burnout. We provide reliable respite care, family education about dementia progression, and emotional support. Our flexible 4-24 hour scheduling allows families to maintain work and personal commitments while ensuring their loved one receives specialized care.
Do you work with memory care facilities for transitions?
Absolutely. We coordinate with memory care facilities in DFW when transitions become necessary, helping families evaluate options and ensuring smooth handoffs.

How quickly can you start dementia care services in DFW?

Safety is paramount in dementia care. We conduct home safety assessments, remove hazards, install safety devices as needed, and provide constant supervision during care hours.
