Dementia care questions Sioux Falls families ask

What is in-home dementia care?

In-home dementia care is help at home for someone living with dementia or Alzheimer’s. A trained caregiver helps with daily routines, medication reminders, companionship and safety, so they can stay in a familiar place.

Can someone with dementia stay at home?

Often, yes. With the right support, many people live safely at home for a long time. Care can start small and grow as needs change.

How many hours of care do we need?

It depends on the person. Some families start with a few hours a week. Others need overnight or 24-hour care. We help you find the right starting point.

Can Medicare help with dementia care at home?

Medicare’s GUIDE program may help. Eligible families with traditional Medicare may receive up to $2,625 or 76 hours a year in respite care. Call us to talk through your options.

What if my parent says no to help?

That is common. Start small, like a few hours of companion care a week. We introduce your caregiver in your home first, so it feels less like a stranger at the door.

Do you offer dementia care outside Sioux Falls?

Yes. Kore Cares also serves Aberdeen, Brookings, Mitchell, Pierre, Watertown, Yankton and the towns around them.
