When a person you love has trouble with memory and thinking, it can be hard to know how to help them. There are many types of dementia, including the well-known Alzheimer’s disease, and each person may experience the illness differently.

There is no clear path of how to care for a person whose brain function is declining, but Agrace offers several services that may be helpful over time.

Early- or mid-stage dementia, with or without a diagnosis:

Advanced dementia / in the last months of life:

 

Dementia Care Consultations

When a person begins to show signs of dementia, so many tough questions arise:

  • What care will be needed as the illness goes on?
  • How will we find or provide this care?
  • How will we make future care decisions?
  • How will we afford the care that’s needed?

If you’re a family member or caregiver of a person who has dementia and are unsure about next steps, start with a Dementia Care Consultation. Our dementia support specialist can meet with you to offer information and guidance, including which other Agrace services and other community resources may be most helpful.

  • Dementia Care Consultations can be held in person in the Madison area, or by phone or video call (using a tablet or computer with a web camera).
  • They are one-hour discussions about your unique situation and needs.
  • The cost is $50 for a one-hour meeting or call.

Adult Daytime Care

For seniors with dementia/memory loss, the Agrace Adult Day Center in Madison is a bright, engaging place to enjoy activities and companionship. It’s a way to prevent a loved one from becoming isolated due to their memory loss.

This daytime care also gives family caregivers a break to refresh their energy while their loved one is in safe hands with plenty to do.

Palliative Care for Managing Symptoms and Stress

Agrace offers palliative care consultations across southern Wisconsin. These are specialized medical appointments with a nurse practitioner that take place wherever the patient lives.

The goal is to help a person who is living with dementia and their family cope better with their physical symptoms, behaviors and stress as the disease progresses. Learn more about this service here.

 

Hospice Care: Comfort in the Last Months of Life

Nurse Ella leans over patient, Georgia's bed. Georgia has a big smile. Dementia often advances slowly, so it can be hard to predict when a person is ready for hospice care (care for the end of life). For a person to be eligible to enroll in hospice care, two doctors must agree on that a patient is mostly likely in their last six months of life.

Most people with dementia have hospice care at home or in a long-term care facility, but another option is living at the Agrace Hospice Memory Care Suites. This is a secure section of our Madison campus that is designed for hospice patients with memory care needs.
