Senior Care Guides for Fresno and Bakersfield Families
Dementia Home Safety Guide
If you’ve noticed a parent or spouse with dementia getting turned around at home, leaving the stove on, or wandering at night, you’re not alone, and there’s a lot you can do about it before it becomes a crisis. This free guide from Everlight Care walks families across Fresno, Madera, and Kern Counties through the specific home safety risks dementia creates — and the practical, affordable steps that address each one — along with a clear look at how Medicare, Medi-Cal/IHSS, veterans benefits, and long-term care insurance may help pay for support along the way.
Who it's for
Adult children, spouses, and family caregivers of someone living with dementia — whether you’re just starting to notice changes or you’re already managing daily challenges and want a clearer plan. It’s also useful for veterans and surviving spouses trying to understand what benefits might apply to their family’s situation.
