Providing non-medical in-home care for 23 years in Fort Thomas and Northern Kentucky
Dementia care at home is non-medical support built around a person’s memory, routine, and safety rather than around a task list. For families in Fort Thomas and across Northern Kentucky, it usually means help with bathing, dressing, meals, and medication reminders, plus supervision, calm redirection when someone gets upset, and a predictable daily rhythm that reduces confusion. Most families start with a few hours a week and add hours as needs change. Medicare may cover certain skilled home health services when a person qualifies, but it generally does not pay for ongoing non-medical dementia support at home, which is why most families pay privately, use long-term care insurance, or explore Kentucky Medicaid waiver programs or veterans benefits if they qualify.
Something usually happens before a family goes looking for this information. The stove was left on. Dad drove to Kroger and came back two hours later without groceries. Mom asked the same question eleven times before dinner and then got angry when someone pointed it out.
If that’s where you are, you’re not behind and you’re not failing. You’re at the point where most families start looking for a plan.

You don’t need a diagnosis in hand to find this useful.
The Alzheimer’s Association estimates that 80,500 Kentuckians age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s, and roughly 190,000 Kentuckians provide unpaid care for someone with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Those caregivers provided about 323 million hours of unpaid care in a year.
Most of that care happens at home, quietly, by people who never planned on it. In Campbell, Kenton, and Boone counties, a lot of them are adult daughters and sons working full time while trying to keep a parent safe.
Getting outside help isn’t giving up on keeping someone home. For most families it’s the thing that makes staying home possible for longer.
