Alzheimer’s, Dementia and Parkinson’s Care
SeniorCare Plus is a specialized service for clients and families struggling with Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Lewy Body Dementia and other dementia conditions.
Our family had a personal experience with caring for a loved one with Lewy Body Dementia which presents as dementia with Parkinson’s symptoms. We experienced tremendous challenges providing care and finding caregivers who were able to handle the demands that dementia and movement disorders present. It was from this experience that we decided to start Optimal Senior Care Solutions to offer help, direction and resources to those families and individuals struggling with these disorders.
- Monitoring nutritional intake
- Meal preparation for swallowing difficulties
- Physical therapy & exercise supervision
- Home safety & fall prevention
- Gait supervision to prevent falls
- Monitoring activities for safety

In addition the medical treatments people with these disorders receive, there are evidence based therapies that have been shown to provide some relief of some of the symptoms these disorders present. It is our goal to be advocates of any therapy that may make the day easier for the client and their caregiver.Below you will find information on these disorders and a Wellness Resources Section with links to various proven therapies.
