CareNetLA provides in-home dementia and Alzheimer’s care for families across Los Angeles, built around a Registered Nurse-supervised assessment, a hand-selected caregiver trained in dementia-specific care, and a personalized plan that adjusts as your loved one’s needs change. Care ranges from a few hours of support each week to full-time live-in supervision, depending on the stage of cognitive decline and your family’s needs.

What Our In-Home Dementia Care Includes
- RN-supervised assessment: A Certified Senior Adviser conducts a clinical evaluation of cognitive function, safety risks, and daily living needs before care begins.
- Dementia-trained caregivers: Every caregiver is trained in redirection techniques, structured routines, and communication approaches specific to dementia and Alzheimer’s care.
- Wandering and safety planning: We assess the home for wandering risk and unsecured exits, and build safeguards into the care plan without making the home feel institutional.
- Structured daily routines: Consistent schedules around meals, activities, and rest that reduce confusion and support a sense of stability.
- Family communication: Your dedicated care manager provides regular updates and adjusts the plan as your loved one’s condition evolves.
Early-Stage and Advanced-Stage Support
Dementia care needs change significantly over time, and CareNetLA’s plans are built to change with them. In the early stages, support typically centers on medication reminders, transportation, light meal preparation, and companionship that keeps a loved one engaged and safe while preserving independence. As needs increase, care can expand to full personal care, mobility assistance, and around-the-clock supervision. There is no fixed package to graduate into; your care manager adjusts hours and services directly as circumstances change.
Why Caregiver Consistency Matters
Families interview and approve their caregiver before care begins, and we prioritize placing the same caregiver consistently rather than rotating staff. For someone living with dementia, a familiar, trusted caregiver reduces agitation and anxiety in a way that a shifting roster of strangers cannot. A consistent caregiver also notices subtle changes in mood, appetite, or behavior early, giving your family and physician more time to respond.

Behavioral Support and Home Safety
Agitation, repetitive questioning, and sundowning are common as dementia progresses, and they respond poorly to correction or confrontation. Our caregivers are trained to redirect calmly and maintain a steady presence, which helps prevent moments of confusion from escalating. Alongside behavioral support, we assess the physical home for fall risk and wandering exposure, an area that overlaps closely with our fall risk prevention care, since fall risk rises significantly for clients experiencing cognitive decline.
How Care Begins
- Private Consultation: We discuss your loved one’s diagnosis, stage, and daily routine, along with your family’s specific concerns.
- RN-Supervised Assessment: A Certified Senior Adviser evaluates cognitive function, safety risks, and current support needs in the home.
- Care Plan & Caregiver Matching: We build a personalized plan and present caregivers trained in dementia care for your family to meet and approve.
- Ongoing Adjustment: Your dedicated care manager reviews the plan regularly and scales support up or down as the condition changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does in-home dementia care cost?
Cost depends on the number of hours needed and the level of support required, which varies by stage. We provide a specific quote only after an in-home assessment, since every plan is built individually rather than assigned from a fixed package. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
Will Medicare cover dementia care at home?
Medicare covers short-term, medically necessary skilled care but generally does not cover the ongoing daily living support, such as bathing, dressing, or supervision, that most dementia care requires. CareNetLA’s non-medical care is typically arranged as a private-pay service alongside any Medicare-covered clinical care your loved one receives.
How is CareNetLA’s dementia care different from other agencies?
Rather than assigning whichever caregiver is available, we hand-select caregivers trained specifically in dementia care and prioritize placing the same caregiver consistently. Every plan is also overseen by a dedicated care manager and built on an RN-supervised assessment rather than a generic intake form.
Can we start with a few hours a week and increase later?
Yes. Many families begin with a limited schedule, such as a few hours several times a week, and increase support as needs grow. Your care manager will help you scale the plan at the pace that fits your family.
How do you handle wandering and safety concerns?
Our in-home assessment identifies wandering risk and unsecured exits specific to your home, and we build environmental safeguards and caregiver supervision into the care plan accordingly. This is addressed directly during the initial assessment, not left as a general recommendation.
