How A-Team Delivers Dementia Care

A-Team Home Care assigns caregivers with specific training in dementia care techniques including reality orientation, validation therapy, and non-pharmacological behavior management. Consistency matters enormously in memory care, so we prioritize caregiver consistency so your loved one builds familiarity with the same faces rather than reacting to a rotating roster of strangers.

Our care coordinators communicate directly with neurologists, discharge planners at Jefferson Health, Penn Medicine, and Einstein Medical Center, and with families to ensure the care plan reflects current stage and behavioral patterns. As dementia progresses, we adjust care levels to match, from a few hours of supervision per day to 24-hour live-in care.
