I have been involved with the Alzheimer’s Association and Grand Junction’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s for the past 18 years.

I’ve lost two aunts to Alzheimer’s and now am looking to the immediate future with my dad, who is 87-years-old and experiencing increased dementia issues. There are hard decisions we have to make. Like as many as 90 percent of seniors, it’s his greatest desire to stay at home as long as possible. I want that for him as well.

Thankfully, Right at Home provides caregiving services, including several tailored to seniors with Alzheimer's, dementia, and cognitive change. They can help you or your loved one stay in their familiar home, help them keep their daily schedules, and provide "daily orientation to time, place, person," as they explain on their website. They can provide everything from companionship and non-medical care to respite care and skilled nursing.

They'll develop a custom plan to provide you and your family the care that's needed to stay safe and independent. They're there to keep folks, like my dad, in their own home where they are most comfortable and happy.
