Specialized Dementia Care
A key focus of our services in this region is specialized dementia care. We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals and families living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Our trained caregivers offer patient, respectful support designed to promote routine, reduce confusion, and enhance quality of life. We also work closely with families to develop customized care plans tailored to each individual’s cognitive and emotional needs.

Whether your loved one needs full-time support or occasional help, Familiar Surroundings Home Care is here to ensure they feel safe, respected, and empowered to live independently in the comfort of their own home.

A Few Words From Our Clients
"Both of my parents have Dementia. I just signed up to have Familiar Surroundings take them on walks three times a week. The paperwork was easy. The staff was great during the process. After the first walk, I saw my mother smile for the first time in months. The staff knows how to talk to and deal with people with Dementia. I can’t be more thrilled. Thank you for what you do."
— Brian M.
"We’re so glad we discovered Familiar Surroundings Home Care for our loved one. From the moment Holly & I met Janice at the rehab facility, we knew this was the agency we wanted to care for her. The agency itself is made up of exceptionally good people who hire exceptional caregivers. Holly is able to conserve her energy, and is well cared for. She greatly enjoys the creative culinary delights which her caregiver lovingly prepares; and she enjoys being able to attend the cooking classes for caregivers and clients. We feel so blessed to have Familiar Surroundings Home Care. I will continue to share with others the special care and attention that is provided for our dear Holly."
