Witnessing a loved one suffer with Alzheimer's disease or any other type of dementia is one of the toughest things we ever have to endure. It's like watching a loved one's personality slowly being erased.

To help seniors maintain their independence and stay in their homes for as long as possible, 5 Star Home Care offers constant companion care/sitting services and are available 24/7.

"This helps because if a parent with Alzheimer's is left at home, they will sometimes 'take the car out for a drive' and end up hundreds of miles away, lost and with no idea where they are. This actually happened to someone I spoke with last year," said 5 Star Home Care owner Kenny Higdon.
