Dementia Care Alliance

Partnering with Home Care Agencies to Better Serve Clients with Dementia

Point of Differentiation

Determining your marketing advantage starts with positive differences between your agency and the competition. Your membership signals that you’re qualified to provide better home care for people with dementia.

Prevent Premature Moves

There are two reasons most families want to keep their loved at home for as long as possible:

1. People with dementia fare better in a stable environment and studies show that change of residence can be very disruptive.
2. The prohibitive cost of out-of-home long term care. Ongoing dementia training will help to maximize the length a client can stay at home. (EXAMPLE: If one of your clients generated annual revenue of $21k, even a four-month longer home stay would produce additional revenue of $7k. And, based on a monthly cost of $5,500 in an Assisted Living the family would realize net savings of $15k for the same period.)

“Freedom Home Healthcare has been a member of Dementia Care Alliance since May 2016.  We have received wonderful feedback from our employees about the trainings facilitated by Amy E. Matthews, Dementia Coach with Engaging Alzheimer’s, LLC.  Amy has also helped a number of our clients and their families in resolving complicated issues related to dementia. Amy’s  expertise in the field of dementia and her supportive non-judgmental approach have proved to be invaluable to us. Thank you for the wonderful service you provide to the aging community.”

2. Family Education: Member agencies provide a copy of our Award Winning book, I Care – A Handbook for Care Partners of People with Dementia, to every client who has a loved one with dementia. Families need to learn what quality care looks like, so they will recognize and appreciate it in your services.
