Disease-Specific Neurocognitive Home Care
Alzheimer’s disease: Structured routines, cholinesterase inhibitor timing, wandering prevention, sundowning management, progressive ADL support from companion through 24-hour care.
Vascular dementia: Cardiovascular risk management, blood pressure monitoring, diabetes coordination, stroke recurrence prevention, and stepped-decline care planning that anticipates sudden functional drops rather than gradual decline.
Lewy body dementia: Careful medication management (many common drugs are contraindicated), visual hallucination protocols, REM sleep behavior monitoring, and parkinsonian motor symptom assistance , a condition that demands specialized knowledge.
Frontotemporal dementia: Behavioral variant management (disinhibition, apathy, compulsive behavior), language variant support (progressive aphasia communication strategies), and caregiver training for the personality changes that distinguish FTD from other dementias.
