The Kinds of Dementia Clients We Serve
Dementia is an overall term used to describe a group of thinking disorders that cause major memory loss, impaired thinking, and trouble doing everyday tasks. There are several kinds of dementia, each with unique features and underlying causes. Some of the most common kinds include:
Alzheimer’s Disease: This is the most common dementia, making up 60-80% of cases. Alzheimer’s is characterized by abnormal protein buildups (amyloid plaques and tau tangles) in the brain, leading to loss of brain cells and tissue. It usually starts with memory issues and slowly impacts language, reasoning, and motor skills.
Vascular Dementia: This dementia happens due to reduced blood flow in the brain, often from small strokes or vessel problems. The symptoms and progression vary based on the location and amount of brain damage, but memory loss and reasoning problems are common.
Lewy Body Dementia (LBD): LBD involves abnormal protein clumps called Lewy bodies in the brain. It shares symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, including thinking decline, movement difficulties, visions, and alertness changes.
Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD): FTD involves progressive damage to frontal and temporal brain lobes. It often impacts personality, behavior, and speech, causing major conduct, emotional, and language changes.
Mixed Dementia: Sometimes, a person has multiple dementia types, like Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia, called mixed dementia. The symptoms and progression can be more complex.
Parkinson’s Disease Dementia:This dementia happens as Parkinson’s disease advances over time. As it worsens, thinking decline becomes more pronounced, impacting memory, focus, and problem-solving.
Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH): NPH is a dementia caused by spinal fluid buildup in the brain ventricles, enlarging spaces. Classic symptoms include walking problems, incontinence, and thinking decline.

In-Home Safety Considerations
Making sure our clients feel safe and protected at home is our top concern at Ray of Sunshine Senior Care.
Professional caregivers work with clients on safety issues including:
- Keeping a steady routine: People with dementia often feel comfort in set routines every day. Keeping a regular schedule can reduce confusion and anxiety.
- Watching over and keeping company: Make sure the person with dementia is not left alone for long periods. Having a caregiver around can prevent accidents and give companionship.
- Helping those who wander: If the person tends to wander, make sure caregivers know and possibly use door alarms or other measures to be alerted if they try to leave.
- Emergency details: Having a list of emergency contacts, the person’s name, address, phone, and any key medical details in an easy to see and reach place.

Frequently Asked Questions About At-Home Dementia Care
What is a caregiver registry?
A caregiver registry is also known as a client directed model. In Texas it is important to make sure your agency, even if it is a registry, is state licensed. If so, like in the case of Ray of Sunshine, a registry gives the client the best of both worlds:
State oversight and agency compliance with all home and community services regulations while allowing the client a direct voice in their care and access to tasks such as being able to inverview and select your own caregivers, negotiate and change schedules directly with your caregiver and the knowledge that your caregiver can not be reassigned for agency convenience.
