Dementia & Alzheimer's Care that adapts to your family.

Quick answer: DavidStar provides non-medical dementia and Alzheimer's care at home throughout Broward County, using memory-care techniques—consistent routine, redirection and meaningful activity—to reduce agitation and wandering risk at any stage of the condition. Caregivers are trained HHAs and CNAs who help with bathing, dressing, meals, supervision and safety in familiar surroundings.

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia takes training, structure and endless patience. DavidStar caregivers use proven memory-care techniques — routine, redirection and meaningful activity — to reduce agitation and wandering while protecting dignity at every stage of the condition.

Who it's for: For families navigating any stage of Alzheimer's or dementia who want their loved one to remain safely at home with caregivers trained in memory care.

How needs change over time

Dementia care changes as the condition changes

Families rarely need the same help in year three that they needed in year one. Knowing roughly where you are makes it much easier to decide how much support to bring in — and when.

  • Early stage — cues, company and safety nets. Independence is mostly intact, but reminders start to matter: appointments, medications, whether the stove was turned off. A caregiver a few days a week keeps routines steady, provides company that reduces isolation, and quietly notices what is changing.
  • Middle stage — structure, supervision and personal care. Usually the longest and hardest phase. Confusion, repeated questions, agitation and wandering risk grow, and help with bathing and dressing becomes necessary. Hours typically increase here, and consistency of caregiver matters enormously.
  • Late stage — hands-on care and comfort. Mobility and speech decline, and most daily needs require assistance. Care focuses on comfort, dignity, skin and hygiene, careful assistance with eating, and gentle familiar presence. Many families move to 24-hour or live-in care at this point.
  • Throughout — the family carries it too. The person with dementia is one client; the exhausted spouse or adult child is the other. Respite care exists so family caregivers can sleep, work or simply leave the house without guilt.

Sundowning and wandering — the two that usually bring families to us

Late-afternoon agitation, or sundowning, is one of the most common reasons a family finally calls. Our caregivers work with it rather than against it: keeping the late afternoon calm and predictable, increasing light as daylight fades, moving demanding tasks to the morning, and using redirection instead of correction when a person is distressed.

Wandering is the risk that frightens families most, and reasonably so. Caregivers maintain supervision during the higher-risk hours, keep exits and walking paths managed, and build a routine with enough purposeful activity that the urge to leave comes up less often. Any medical cause behind a sudden change in behaviour belongs with your loved one's doctor — a sudden shift is a reason to call them, not to assume it is the dementia progressing.

★★★★★

The caregivers are patient, compassionate, and highly experienced with memory care. They know how to handle confusion, mood changes, and daily routines with such professionalism and kindness. What really stood out is that we were able to meet the caregiver beforehand, which made us feel confident and comfortable right away.

Dementia & Alzheimer's Care FAQs

Common questions about dementia & alzheimer's care

Are caregivers specially trained in dementia care?
Yes. Our caregivers are trained in dementia and Alzheimer's techniques — redirection, routine, and de-escalation — and matched for a calm, consistent fit.
Can you help with sundowning and nighttime agitation?
We do. Many dementia families use 24-hour or live-in care so a trained caregiver is present through the evening and overnight hours when agitation peaks.
How do you keep someone with dementia safe from wandering?
Through close supervision, environmental cues, structured activity and, where needed, awake overnight care to prevent wandering and falls.
When is it time for dementia or Alzheimer's home care?
Common signs include wandering, missed medications, unsafe cooking, increasing confusion, agitation or caregiver burnout. A free assessment can help you decide.
Does insurance or Medicaid pay for dementia care at home in Florida?
Medicare doesn't cover ongoing non-medical dementia care; some families qualify through Florida Medicaid waivers. DavidStar accepts private pay, long-term care insurance, VA benefits, and Florida APD funding. Medicare generally does not cover non-medical home care, so we'll walk you through your options on a free call at (954) 248-3538.
Can you care for someone with late-stage Alzheimer's at home?
Yes. With 24-hour or live-in care, trained caregivers manage advanced needs — mobility, hygiene, feeding and safety — so your loved one can remain at home.
