A Comprehensive Care Plan Designed to Support You While You Care for Others
What is the Demicare Health Plan?
The Demicare Health Plan is a specialized care program designed specifically for family caregivers of individuals living with dementia. We recognize that caring for a loved one with dementia is physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding. This plan ensures that while you're caring for someone else, you're also taken care of.
Our Mission:
To prevent caregiver burnout by providing proactive support, resources, and interventions that prioritize your health and wellbeing alongside your loved one's care.
Why Caregiver Burnout Prevention Matters
The Reality of Dementia Caregiving
Dementia caregivers face unique challenges:
- 60-70% of dementia caregivers experience clinically significant symptoms of depression
- Caregivers spend an average of 5+ years providing care
- 40-70% of caregivers show signs of burnout
- Caregivers are at higher risk for chronic health conditions due to stress
The Impact of Burnout:
- Decreased quality of care for your loved one
- Your own health deterioration
- Strained family relationships
- Increased risk of hospitalization for both caregiver and care recipient
- Higher likelihood of premature nursing home placement
Our Approach:
Prevention is better than crisis intervention. The Demicare Health Plan intervenes early to keep you healthy, supported, and resilient throughout your caregiving journey.
