Structured, continuity-based support for moderate to advanced dementia. Care available from a few hours per week to 24/7 support.

Support for Both Safety and Cognitive Stability

How Our Model Is Different

Dementia Care Requires More Than Physical Assistance

Caregiver Continuity

We prioritize consistent caregiver assignments to promote familiarity and emotional steadiness. Familiar faces are a clinical tool, not a convenience.

Structured Routines

Predictable daily rhythms reduce anxiety and prevent avoidable escalation. Every day is intentionally designed.

Dementia-Focused Systems

Care plans are intentionally designed around the progression of dementia, not layered onto a general home care model.

What We Do Not Provide

Guiding Light Dementia Care is a licensed non-medical home care agency. We do not provide skilled nursing or medical treatment, medication administration, clinical therapies, or emergency medical services.

Our role is to complement medical, hospice, and professional care by providing steady, informed in-home support tailored to dementia-specific needs.
