Caregivers trained in dementia, with the Alzheimer Society of Toronto
Since 2017, our caregivers have trained in dementia care through a formal partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Toronto. They complete five dementia courses, including the Gentle Persuasive Approach, U-First!, and the foundations of dementia care, and earn hundreds of certifications every year. They keep those skills current with ongoing lessons on the Nevvon training platform, so the person caring for your loved one brings real dementia expertise to every visit.
All care plans are built and overseen by registered nurses through our nursing and nurse-supervised care program, and coordinated with Ontario Health atHome where public funding is in place. Start with a free in-home assessment so we can understand what your family needs.

Frequently asked questions about dementia care at home
What is the difference between dementia care and Alzheimer's home care?
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for roughly two-thirds of cases. Our caregivers are trained for both Alzheimer's and other dementia types, including vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia. The care approach is similar: consistent routine, familiar faces, and trained support, but the plan is tailored to the specific condition and its stage.
How do you keep someone with dementia safe at home?
Safety is built into every care plan. Our caregivers supervise daily activities, reduce fall and wandering risk, and respond calmly to confusion or agitation. During the free in-home assessment, the nursing team identifies specific hazards and adjusts the plan to address them. Families also receive guidance on environmental changes that can reduce risk.
How do you handle sundowning?
Sundowning, when confusion and agitation increase in the late afternoon or evening, is common in Alzheimer's and other dementias. Our caregivers are trained to recognize it and respond with calm redirection, a familiar activity, or a change in environment. Evening and overnight care is available to cover the hours when sundowning is most difficult.
What happens if my loved one tries to wander?
Wandering is one of the most serious safety concerns for people living with dementia. Our caregivers are trained specifically in wandering prevention, including supervision strategies, door and environment management, and calm de-escalation. Care plans flag wandering risk and include steps caregivers follow to keep the person safe without distress.
How do I know when it is time to get help with dementia care at home?
Signs that it may be time include frequent safety incidents, caregiver exhaustion, missed medications, poor nutrition, or rapid changes in behaviour or cognition. You do not need a formal diagnosis to call us. A free in-home assessment with our nursing team can help you understand what level of support makes sense now, and what to plan for as needs increase.
