Sagewell provides dementia care Calgary-wide across all quadrants: NW, NE, SW, and SE. CDHCI-eligible families can access dementia care in Calgary at $0 out of pocket through Alberta Blue Cross.

Dementia care Calgary families count on is specialized in-home support for people living with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, or other forms of cognitive decline. Unlike general caregiving, dementia care Calgary requires training in memory loss, confusion, behavioral changes, and the emotional challenges that come with cognitive decline.
Sagewell's dementia caregivers are trained to recognize and respond to memory loss, maintain consistency in their client's daily routine, prevent wandering and safety risks, and support emotional wellbeing. They understand that the person in their care may repeat themselves, become confused about time or place, or experience mood changes — and they respond with patience, dignity, and calm.
Dementia care at home allows your parent to remain in the familiar surroundings they know and love, with a consistent caregiver who builds trust and continuity. For many families, this approach improves quality of life, reduces hospitalizations, and provides peace of mind that their family member is safe and cared for with compassion.
Get Started with Dementia CareMemory loss affecting daily life — Forgetting recent events, appointments, or names of familiar people
Confusion about time or place — Getting lost in familiar areas, unsure of the day or season
Difficulty with familiar tasks — Struggling with cooking, paying bills, dressing, or personal hygiene
Mood or personality changes — Increased irritability, anxiety, depression, or uncharacteristic behavior
Wandering or getting lost — Leaving home without clear purpose, unable to find their way back
Difficulty with personal hygiene — Neglecting bathing, grooming, or dressing appropriately
Every Sagewell dementia caregiver is trained to provide comprehensive, dignity-focused support tailored to each person's unique needs and abilities.
Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, meals, and toileting — maintaining familiar routines that bring comfort and stability to your parent's day.
Prevent wandering and falls, monitor medication compliance, check for unsafe appliances, and ensure your home remains a safe environment.
Gentle, consistent reminders to take medications on time — helping prevent confusion and missed doses that can worsen symptoms.
Meaningful conversation, games, memory exercises, music, or activities that bring joy and keep the person in their care mentally engaged and emotionally connected.
Assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and incontinence support — delivered with gentle patience and respect for their dignity.
Give yourself a much-needed break. Our caregivers provide relief while you rest, work, or care for yourself — so you can return with renewed energy.
Dementia thrives on consistency. We match the person in your care with the same caregiver whenever possible, so they develop trust and familiarity that reduces anxiety and confusion.
We pair caregivers by language and cultural background — Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, or English. When your parent hears their native language, they feel understood and at home.
Weekly updates and regular phone calls keep you informed. You'll know exactly what their client did that day, how they ate, their mood, and any concerns that came up.
As dementia progresses, care needs change. We adjust hours and services to match where your family member is in their journey — whether it's a few hours a week or 24/7 live-in support.
Dementia progresses differently for each person. Understanding the stages helps families plan ahead and build the right level of support at every phase.
Mild memory lapses, occasional confusion, difficulty finding words or managing complex tasks. Your parent is largely independent but may benefit from check-ins, medication reminders, and companionship.
Care focus: Companionship, light homemaking, safety check-ins
Increased confusion about time and place, wandering risk, difficulties with personal hygiene, and mood changes are common. Daily hands-on support becomes essential — this is when most families begin structured in-home care.
Care focus: Daily personal care, safety monitoring, routine management
Full assistance with all daily activities — bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting, and repositioning. Communication becomes limited, and around-the-clock support is often needed. Sagewell can provide 12- or 24-hour live-in dementia care at home.
Care focus: Full personal care, 24/7 supervision, comfort-focused support

Sagewell's dementia caregivers are trained to support all major forms of cognitive decline — each of which presents differently and requires tailored approaches.
The most common form — accounting for 60–70% of dementia cases. Characterized by progressive memory loss, confusion, and ultimately loss of basic function. Our caregivers use routine-based approaches and validation therapy to reduce anxiety.
Often occurring after strokes or mini-strokes, vascular dementia affects thinking, planning, and judgment. Symptoms can appear suddenly and worsen in steps. Our caregivers support daily functioning and fall prevention alongside post-stroke care.
One of the more challenging forms — combining cognitive decline with Parkinson's-like movement symptoms, visual hallucinations, and fluctuating alertness. Our caregivers are trained in safe mobility support and managing distressing hallucination episodes with calm, redirective communication.
Affecting personality, behaviour, and language, FTD often presents in people under 65. It can look like psychiatric illness at first, making it particularly difficult for families. Our caregivers use structured communication and consistent behavioural approaches to support your loved one's dignity.
