Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care

Care for your loved one through every stage of Alzheimer’s or dementia

Providing the right senior care in the right way is critical to your loved one’s quality of life. One of the most important aspects is to make them feel comfortable. We do that through care and companionship with each of our patients. We work to build relationships with our patients and often treat them as a family member. It’s one of the simple ways we make sure the entire family has peace of mind knowing their loved one receives the right care when they can’t be there.

With Qualicare Calgary, our caregivers are properly trained and oriented in the specifics of dementia care and have an in-depth understanding of how to manage the priorities as they change throughout the progression of the condition.

When you choose Qualicare to support your loved one, your family will also be assigned a Client Care Manager. Their role is to provide ongoing professional monitoring, oversight, and reviews of care to ensure the goals of your loved one are achieved.

Taking care of a family member with Alzheimer’s is very challenging. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the services that Qualicare has provided to my mother. Qualicare Family Home care has allowed my Mom to stay living in her home, which is everything to her. Continue reading testimonials.
