What A-Team Alzheimer's & Dementia Care Includes
Dementia-specific techniques — delivered by trained caregivers who understand how memory loss changes behavior, not just physical function.
Validation Therapy
Meeting the person in their reality — acknowledging feelings rather than correcting perceptions. Reduces anxiety and resistance in mid-to-late stage Alzheimer's.
Redirection Techniques
Gentle, trained redirection when a client is distressed, repetitive, or unsafe — without confrontation. Prevents escalation and preserves dignity.
Sundowning Protocols
Structured late-afternoon/evening routines to reduce sundowning agitation — activity sequencing, lighting management, and familiar sensory calming.
Memory Care Activities
Stage-appropriate engagement: reminiscence, sensory activities, music, and sorting tasks that stimulate without frustrating the person with dementia.
Wandering Prevention
Environmental safety monitoring, door alert awareness, and redirection protocols for clients who wander — without physical restraint or sedation.
Familiar Routine Maintenance
Consistent daily schedules aligned to the person's lifelong habits. Routine reduces confusion and behavioral episodes in all stages of dementia.
Family Education
Caregiver teaches family members dementia communication techniques — what to say, what to avoid, and how to interpret behavioral changes.
Crisis De-escalation
Trained response to behavioral crises — agitation, combativeness, severe confusion — without restraint, and with family notification protocol.
4 Families Who Most Often Call A-Team for Dementia Care
Every dementia journey is different. These are the four situations where A-Team dementia care most often begins.
Spouse of a newly diagnosed partner
The moment of diagnosis is overwhelming. A spouse who is also the primary caregiver carries enormous weight. A-Team can come in part-time — covering the difficult bathing and dressing routine, managing behavioral episodes — while the spouse holds everything else together. We also teach the spouse the dementia communication techniques our aides use every day.
Adult child noticing memory decline
You've started noticing the missed medications, the repeated questions, the stove left on. You're not sure if it's normal aging or early-stage Alzheimer's. A-Team can start with a few hours per week — a companion aide who also handles medication reminders and safety monitoring — while you wait for the specialist assessment.
Mid-stage Alzheimer's with safety concerns
Wandering at night. Sundowning agitation at 4 PM. Resistance to bathing. These are the behaviors that exhaust family caregivers — and they require dementia-specific training to manage safely. A-Team's aides know validation therapy and non-confrontational redirection. They don't argue. They guide.
Late-stage dementia at home
When a loved one reaches late-stage dementia, full 24-hour coverage often becomes necessary. A-Team can coordinate round-the-clock shifts — overnight monitoring, mobility assistance, and coordination with skilled nursing for clinical oversight and hospice agencies when the family chooses comfort care at home.
How A-Team Dementia Care Works
From your first phone call to a dementia-trained caregiver in the home — typically 24 to 48 hours.
Free Dementia Care Consultation
Call (215) 490-9994. We'll ask about your loved one's current stage, key behavioral challenges, and coverage options — Medicaid CHC, VetAssist, private pay.
In-Home RN Assessment
A registered nurse meets your loved one, observes the home environment, and writes a dementia-specific care plan — including behavioral triggers, routine preferences, and safety concerns.
Dementia-Trained Caregiver Match
A-Team matches a caregiver with dementia experience by location, language preference, and behavioral fit — consistency is critical for dementia clients.
Care Begins & Evolves
First shift within 24 to 48 hours. Your RN supervisor monitors and adjusts the care plan as the disease progresses. A-Team is your long-term partner, not a one-time placement.

Providing the Dementia Care Yourself?
If you're an adult family member (not a spouse and not holding power of attorney) already providing personal care — bathing, dressing, transfers — for a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia on Pennsylvania Medicaid, you may qualify to be paid for that care through A-Team's Family Caregiver Program. All paid family caregivers complete state-provided DCW training before the first paid shift.

Dementia-specific training, consistent caregiver assignment, and RN-supervised care plans that evolve with the disease.
Dementia-Specific Training
A-Team caregivers are trained in validation therapy, non-confrontational redirection, and sundowning management — not just activities of daily living.
Consistent Caregiver Assignment
Consistency is critical for dementia clients. A-Team matches and maintains a consistent caregiver — minimizing the disorientation of stranger introductions.
RN-Supervised Care Plans
Every dementia care client gets a registered-nurse home assessment, a written care plan aligned to their disease stage, and ongoing RN oversight as needs change.
PA Medicaid CHC In-Network
In-network with all three Pennsylvania CHC plans: Keystone First, UPMC, and PA Health & Wellness. Personal care portions of dementia care are covered for eligible clients.
VetAssist Provider
Authorized VetAssist provider — VA Aid & Attendance benefit covers home care for qualifying veterans with dementia and their surviving spouses.
ACHC Accredited
Hospital-grade accreditation applied to every dementia care client. The same standard ACHC applies to skilled nursing facilities — brought into the home.
24-Hour Coverage Available
As dementia progresses, full overnight coverage often becomes necessary. A-Team can transition from part-time to 24-hour live-in care without changing the care team.
Multilingual Caregivers
English, Spanish, Russian, and Ukrainian-speaking caregivers available. For dementia clients, being cared for in their native language reduces confusion and agitation.
