Dementia & Alzheimer's Care at Home in Montreal
Memory care doesn’t have to mean moving. Our caregivers help people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia stay safe, calm, and connected in the home they know, in French or in English, with the same familiar face visit after visit.
( Why Choose Us )
When Someone You Love Starts to Forget
It rarely begins with a diagnosis. It begins with the stove left on, the same question asked three times in an hour, a phone call from a neighbour who found your father walking the wrong way down Sherbrooke. Then the appointment, the word dementia, and a folder of pamphlets that explain the disease but not what to do on Tuesday afternoon.
Families across Montreal reach this point and assume the next step is a residence. For many, it isn’t. With the right support, a person living with dementia can often remain at home far longer than expected, and home is where they tend to do best. The furniture is where it has always been. The route to the bathroom is automatic. The window looks out on the same street. For a brain losing its grip on new information, that familiarity is not sentimental. It’s stabilizing.
Our role is to make staying home possible without it consuming your family.
Memory Care in Montreal: At Home or in a Residence?
Familiar surroundings reduce confusion.
A move is one of the most disorienting events a person with dementia can experience, and it frequently triggers a noticeable decline.
One-to-one attention
In a residence, staff divide their time across many residents. At home, the caregiver's attention belongs to one person.
Routines stay intact
Mealtimes, favourite chair, afternoon radio, the evening walk. Nothing has to be reinvented to fit an institution's schedule.

Our In-Home Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Services
Daily Routine and Structure
Predictable days reduce anxiety. Caregivers keep wake-up, meals, activities, and bedtime consistent, and use gentle cues to guide each step instead of rushing or correcting.
Personal Care With Patience
Bathing and dressing are among the most common sources of distress in dementia. Caregivers slow down, explain each step, offer simple choices, and know when to pause and try again later rather than force the moment.
Meals and Hydration
People with dementia often forget to eat or drink, or lose interest in food. Caregivers prepare familiar meals, sit with your loved one while they eat, and keep an eye on fluids through the day.
Medication Reminders
Timely, consistent prompts so doses aren't missed or doubled, with observations shared with the family when something seems off.
Safety and Supervision
Watching for wandering, fall risks, and hazards around the stove, stairs, and bathroom, and suggesting practical changes to make the home safer.
Overnight and 24-Hour Care
When nights become difficult because of wandering, restlessness, or reversed sleep cycles, we provide overnight coverage or around-the-clock rotating shifts so the household can rest.
We Support the Whole Family, Not Just the Diagnosis
Dementia affects everyone around the person living with it. We keep families informed with regular updates, flag changes early, and give you a clear point of contact when you have questions or need to adjust the schedule.

It varies widely. Early on, a few visits a week may be enough. In the middle stages, daily visits are common. In later stages, overnight or 24-hour care is often needed. We start where you are and adjust as things change.
This is very common. Caregivers are introduced gradually, sometimes as a "friend" or "helper" before any personal care begins. Building trust first makes everything that follows easier.
