What Our Community is Saying
I've been a caregiver with Interim going on 4 years. It's very rewarding experience and I love and treat my clients like family. No regrets with this company. They are always there when I need them.
My caregiver exercised with me so I might be stronger. She helped me get from her doing most of the work to me being able to do somethings on my own again. Terry has been my lifeline.
Interim HealthCare has amazing caretakers. My grandmother is always so happy to receive a visit from her caretaker!
Excellent company to work with. They will never leave you without coverage. Their prices are fair, also. We highly recommend them.
Interim is very prompt, responsive and professional to work with and has compassionate staff! Highly recommend!
I have been very pleased with the services received from Interim HealthCare. Not only are they very knowledgeable in what they do, they are also very caring and trustworthy. I feel at ease now that I know my father is being well taken care of by such great professionals in the comfort of his own home.
Interim Healthcare is a great place to work. The team is caring, compassionate and supportive. Their focus on providing hands on quality services and overall client satisfaction can be seen across the company. Making a difference everyday, is our focus and I believe Interim delivers that each and every day to our clients and their families.
I just want to applaud Brooke. She does a fantastic job with my mom. When she found out that my mom liked music she brought her keyboard and played for my mom! Also yesterday she texted me that my mom was communicating really well and remembering a lot from her past and asked me if there were pictures that she could pull out and talk to my mom about-this was so sweet

How Can I Recognize Early Signs of Dementia?

How Can I Recognize Early Signs of Dementia?
Spotting early signs of dementia is crucial for maximizing the benefits of available and experimental treatments that may improve or delay the progression of memory issues. Dementia refers to a range of conditions affecting thinking and social skills, leading to memory problems and confusion that disrupt daily life. Unfortunately, it’s a common disorder, impacting millions worldwide.
Understanding dementia's symptoms and early warning signs can help you identify potential issues before they become serious.
Symptoms of Dementia
Recognizing the symptoms of dementia can help you spot early warning signs in yourself or loved ones. While symptoms often worsen gradually, most cases exhibit at least two of the common signs listed below:
- Significant memory loss
- Difficulty with communication and speech
- Inability to focus or impaired attention
- Loss of reasoning abilities
- Poor decision-making
- Problems with vision and visual perception
Early Warning Signs of Dementia
Recent studies have identified early signs of dementia that can appear before more serious symptoms. Early detection is key to taking preventative measures that could delay dementia’s onset or reduce its severity. Watch for these early warning signs:
-
Memory Issues: Occasional forgetfulness is normal with age, but memory problems that disrupt your routine—especially related to recent events—could be a sign of dementia. Increased reliance on memory aids is another warning sign.
-
Confusion or Difficulty with Daily Tasks: While occasional confusion happens to everyone, persistent confusion affecting your ability to recognize the day or time, complete routine tasks, or interpret visual cues could indicate dementia. Difficulty navigating familiar places, losing track of time, or trouble judging distances may also be early signs.
-
Changes in Personality and Mood: Fluctuations in mood and personality can sometimes signal early dementia. New or worsening anxiety, depression, withdrawal, or fearfulness may suggest underlying memory issues and an increased risk of dementia.
By identifying these symptoms and early warning signs, you can monitor memory and cognitive health more effectively. This will also help to create an effective dementia care plan for your loved one. If you notice new or worsening issues with memory, confusion, or mood, consult a healthcare professional. They can help determine whether these changes are benign or indicative of a more serious condition requiring further attention.
