For Red Deer families, Alzheimer’s & dementia support starts at home.
The familiarity of home can make all the difference for older adults dealing with memory loss. Maintaining routines, relationships, and structure can not only ease confusion, reduce anxiety, and support memory, but aging at home can also help support independence and dignity.
With a training program recognized by the Alzheimer’s Association, Home Instead Red Deer is here to help you navigate the journey with confidence and compassion.
We have experience with:
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Frontotemporal Dementia
- Lewy Body Dementia
- Mild Cognitive Impairment
- Parkinson’s Disease Dementia
- Vascular Dementia
Advancing how we care for those with memory loss.
While medical research works towards treatments for memory issues like Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, there have also been advances in how we care for those living with memory loss. With guidance from Dr. Lakelyn Hogan-Eichenberger, Home Instead’s on-staff gerontologist, we’ve developed a person-centered approach to memory support, uniquely designed to:
- Care for the whole person.
- Honor your loved one’s life before their cognitive decline.
- Help them continue to enjoy activities and hobbies they love.
- Compassionately respond to cognitive and behavioral symptoms.
- Help enhance safety in the home environment.
- Review and adjust care plans as needs change.
Compassionate care begins with a thoughtful care plan.
Over the years, one thing has been clear: no two people experience memory loss the same way. That’s why we take the time to understand your loved one’s needs, routines, and story—so we can create an in-home memory care plan that truly fits your family.

In-home memory care FAQs
Home Instead Red Deer provides Alzheimer’s and dementia support as well as personal care, respite, specialized home care, and 24-hour assistance.
The appropriate combination depends on how much support the individual currently needs. Because several levels of care are available, the plan can also be revisited if those needs become more extensive.
