Home Care Support for Dementia in Indianapolis, IN, should feel calm, respectful, and steady for families. Nana Cares provides non-medical, in-home support for individuals living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or memory loss who require routine, supervision, and daily assistance at home.
We help families create more structure, more reassurance, and more practical support without taking away dignity or familiarity.
Dementia or memory support at home means helping someone manage everyday life with more structure, reassurance, and supervision in a familiar setting. For many families, the goal is not to make medical promises. It is to make daily life feel calmer, safer, and more manageable.
Nana Cares provides non-medical dementia support at home. That means we do not diagnose dementia, treat Alzheimer’s, provide therapy, or offer clinical supervision. We support individuals living with dementia through routine and structure, safety supervision, gentle redirection, compassionate communication, and family support.
In-home support helps someone remain in familiar surroundings with one-on-one assistance built around their routines. A memory care facility is a residential setting with on-site staff and a different care environment. Neither option is automatically better for every family. The right fit depends on safety needs, level of supervision needed, family capacity, and personal preference.
Families supporting someone with memory loss often deal with challenges that are emotional, practical, and ongoing.
Routines becoming harder to follow from morning to bedtime
Confusion about time, place, or what is supposed to happen next
Resistance to bathing, dressing, or hygiene tasks
Repetitive questions that increase stress for everyone
Increased anxiety when a familiar caregiver or family member leaves
Missing meals, forgetting hydration, or eating irregularly
Isolation, withdrawal, or less engagement during the day
Safety worries when the person is left alone
Nighttime confusion, restlessness, or waking often
Communication becoming more difficult or frustrating
Greater need for reassurance and calm redirection
Family caregivers feeling burned out, sleep-deprived, or overwhelmed
Adult children trying to balance work, distance, and caregiving decisions
Fear that the current routine is no longer sustainable without help
Consistent routines can make the day feel less overwhelming. We help create a steadier flow around meals, hygiene, companionship, and daily support so the person is not facing each part of the day alone.
Memory loss can make ordinary moments feel stressful. Our approach uses respectful, compassionate communication to reduce pressure and support comfort during the day.
When confusion or repetitive questions come up, the goal is not confrontation. We use gentle redirection and support to help move the moment forward in a calm, practical way.
We do not promise to prevent every risk. What we do provide is non-medical supervision, support with safer routines, and extra awareness around mobility, confusion, and day-to-day decision-making at home.
Connection still matters. Familiar conversation, light activity, and one-on-one presence can help reduce isolation and keep the day feeling more grounded.
Families need clarity too. We keep expectations practical and work within the care plan so loved ones have a better sense of what support is being provided and where additional help may be needed.
If memory loss is affecting bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, or mobility, Personal/Attendant Care can add hands-on non-medical support with activities of daily living. This can be especially helpful when cueing alone is no longer enough.
For many families, companion support is the starting point. Nana Cares Companion Services include conversation, supervision, and light activity that can help reduce isolation and support routine for people living with dementia.
Memory loss can also affect how well the home itself is managed. Homemaker Services can help with laundry, meal prep, light cleaning, and organization when those tasks are tied to client care and safety.
Caring for someone with dementia is demanding. Respite Care gives family caregivers time to rest, work, travel, or simply recover while their loved one continues receiving non-medical support at home.
Some families need more support after dark. Nana Cares offers overnight care for seniors and other adults who need night-time supervision, routine support, or non-medical overnight assistance at home.
