Platinum Care Group provides dementia home care in Hinsdale for seniors living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia, and for the families who love them. Our dementia-trained caregivers help with the everyday things, from bathing and meals to good company and a watchful eye at night. You can choose hourly visits, overnight care, 24-hour care or live-in care, at home or in a senior community, and we stay beside your family with support every step of the way.
Our care is for seniors living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, and for the husbands, wives, sons and daughters caring for them. Some families are facing a new diagnosis. Others have been caring for a parent on their own for a while and are ready for a hand. Alzheimer's care in Hinsdale with our team supports the person living with memory loss and everyone who loves them.
Hinsdale is home to 2,783 people who are 65 or older, about one in every six residents, and 383 of them are 85 or older. That's a lot of neighbors who would like to keep living in the homes they know, and a lot of families figuring out how to help them do it.
Care is built around your family's schedule. You can choose hourly, part-time, full-time, overnight, 24-hour or live-in care, and the plan can be adjusted as needs change over time. Care can take place in your loved one's own home or in a senior community such as assisted living, whichever is home for them right now. Dementia care is one part of the full range of home care we provide in Hinsdale.
We also care for families in the towns around Hinsdale, including Oak Brook, Western Springs, La Grange, Downers Grove and Elmhurst.
Our caregivers bring in-home memory care to Hinsdale homes, helping with the parts of the day that have started to feel hard, and they do it gently, at your loved one's own pace. Our in-home Alzheimer's and dementia care includes:
How a caregiver helps matters as much as what they help with. Familiar routines bring comfort, so our caregivers keep the day steady: the same morning coffee, the same chair by the window, the walk at the usual time.
Old stories tend to spark happy memories, so caregivers ask about the house your loved one grew up in, the work they were proud of or the trips they still talk about.
Confusion, sundowning and wandering can bring a lot of worry, for your loved one and for you. Our caregivers are trained to stay calm in those moments, offer reassurance and gently guide your loved one toward something comfortable. Over time, each caregiver learns your loved one's story, strengths and preferences, and that helps your loved one feel safe and at home.
A familiar home does a lot of quiet work for someone living with dementia. They know where the kitchen is, which chair is theirs and where the light comes in each morning, and that sense of place can ease confusion on the harder days.
Home in Hinsdale is often an older house. More than one in four homes in the village was built before 1960, and 984 of them were built in 1939 or earlier. Many older houses have stairs up to the bedrooms and down to the basement, and those steps take more care as memory and balance change.
Some older adults here live on their own, too. In about 527 Hinsdale homes, someone 65 or older lives alone, and memory loss can make those days and nights feel long.
Our caregivers help your loved one move around the house safely, keep an eye out for wandering and stay through the night with overnight or 24-hour care when nights are hard. Your loved one keeps their own home and routine, and you know someone is right there with them.
Welcoming someone new into the house is a big step, and it helps to know who will be there with your loved one. Every one of our dementia caregivers in Hinsdale receives specialized dementia care training. That training is guided by our Administrator, a Certified Dementia Practitioner, and it covers practical ways to communicate, keep your loved one safe and help with daily living.
Our Administrator is also a Registered Nurse who oversees every client's care plan. She makes sure each plan is carried out safely and that caregivers are properly trained for the work.
Our goal is to match your family with one or two primary caregivers who get to know your loved one's routines, preferences and personality. We send fill-in coverage when your regular caregiver is away, so visits are never missed.
Every caregiver is background checked, insured and bonded. Our office team is here Monday through Friday, and our on-call manager is available around the clock for urgent needs after hours.
Platinum Care Group is locally owned and operated and has cared for families across DuPage and Cook Counties since 2006. You can read our story and how we choose our caregivers any time.
Caring for someone with dementia is a lot for one person to carry. About 383,000 Illinois caregivers gave unpaid care to someone living with dementia in 2021, and the number of older Illinoisans living with Alzheimer's or a related dementia was expected to reach 260,000 by 2025. Many of those caregivers are spouses and adult children balancing work, their own health and their own families.
Dementia respite care in Hinsdale gives you some of that time back. A caregiver stays with your loved one so you can rest, go to work, keep your own doctor's appointments or simply enjoy an afternoon to yourself.
Some families qualify for extra help.

Getting care in place takes three steps, and we walk through each one with you.
First, we have a phone conversation to get to know your needs and goals. From there, we can tell fairly quickly whether we're a good fit for your family.
Next, we meet with you and your loved one at home to learn about your situation and create a care plan together.
Then our team matches your loved one with the right caregivers and lets you know the next steps.
