People living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias do best in familiar surroundings with familiar faces and a predictable routine. In-home dementia care from Trinity Home Care makes that possible for families across Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, with a registered nurse planning care and the same trained caregiver showing up shift after shift.
Whether your parent was just diagnosed or you are managing late-stage care at home, call (864) 777-0035 for a free in-home consultation with our nurse.
How we care for someone with dementia at home
- Routine first. Meals, walks, rest and hygiene at the same times each day reduce anxiety and agitation.
- Calm, consistent caregivers trained in redirection, validation and communication that does not argue or correct.
- Evening and overnight support for sundowning, night waking and wandering risk.
- Safety at home: the nurse reviews stove and door safety, lighting, medications and fall hazards and adjusts the plan as the disease progresses.
- Nutrition and hydration support, including finger foods and cueing for clients who forget to eat or drink.
- Family coaching. We teach the techniques we use so that your time with your parent is easier too.
Care that changes as the disease changes
Early on, a few companion visits a week may be enough to keep a parent safe and engaged. As memory loss progresses, families typically add personal care, then evening coverage, and eventually 24-hour care. Because one nurse follows your loved one through every stage, the plan evolves without the disruption of changing agencies. Our nurses wrote a guide to the decision many families face: dementia home care vs. a memory care facility.

Frequently asked questions
Can someone with dementia safely stay at home?
Often, yes, with the right support. Our nurse evaluates safety, supervision needs and family capacity at the first visit and tells you honestly what level of care would be required to keep your loved one safe at home.
How do you handle sundowning?
With predictable late-afternoon routines, good lighting, reduced noise, a familiar caregiver and calm redirection. Our nurses explain more in our article on sundowning in dementia.
What if my father does not accept help from a stranger?
This is very common. We introduce caregivers gradually, often alongside a family member, and we match personalities carefully. Consistency is the key, which is why we keep the same caregiver on the schedule.
Do you offer respite for family caregivers of someone with dementia?
Yes. Many of our dementia clients started with respite care so that a spouse or daughter could rest. See our respite care page.
Do you provide 24-hour dementia care?
Yes, including awake overnight caregivers for clients who wander or wake at night.
