NEW YORK, NY - August 14, 2025 - According to the Alzheimer's Association 2025 Report, dementia impacts 1 in 8 New York seniors and increases fall risks fivefold. As World Alzheimer's Day approaches this September, Touching Hearts at Home NYC answers this need with its award-winning Manhattan In-Home Memory Care, blending research-supported safety strategies with personalized companionship to preserve dignity where seniors feel most secure: within their own homes.
For older New Yorkers, falls represent more than accidents—they threaten cherished independence. Seniors with dementia account for 40% of fall-related hospitalizations according to CDC data. Touching Hearts at Home NYC addresses these concerns through thoughtful, individualized support. Caregivers create safer living spaces by replacing hazardous rugs with non-slip alternatives, installing motion-activated lighting for nighttime navigation, and decluttering hallways to prevent disorientation-related falls.
Safety extends outdoors during memory walks in Central Park, where benches serve as gentle balance-practice stations and railings support strength-building steps. These personalized approaches align with World Health Organization findings showing 30% fewer fall injuries when honoring each senior's mobility needs—whether assisting with grocery carrying or supporting strolls to neighborhood cafes.
Adair W., an Upper West Side client, describes her husband's experience: "After his dementia diagnosis, we stopped visiting our favorite bakery. His caregiver noticed how much he missed those walks and gradually reintroduced them—starting with short steps to the lobby, then building to full trips. Now he enjoys morning bagels again. That patience gave us back simple joys we thought were lost."
This commitment to sustaining identity defines Touching Hearts at Home NYC’s memory care in NYC. Caregivers integrate strength-building into meaningful routines: converting coffee preparation into gentle arm exercises, transforming closet organization into standing/sitting practice, or turning puzzle-solving into cognitive engagement. These activities maintain physical vitality while reducing isolation—key factors in slowing memory decline.
"Behaviors are expressions of need we humbly strive to understand," explains Craig Sendach, owner of Touching Hearts at Home NYC. "When a client resists bathing, we might introduce warm lavender towels. If they pace anxiously, we initiate seated chair exercises. It’s about responding with creativity—never imposing rigid solutions."
The Alzheimer’s Association reports that 74% of family caregivers experience health-impacting exhaustion. During World Alzheimer’s Month, Touching Hearts at Home NYC provides restorative respite so families reclaim moments of connection. As one daughter shared, "Seeing Mom laugh while arranging flowers with her caregiver—instead of stressing over forgotten steps—finally let me breathe. That peace of mind is a priceless gift."
"Aging with Dementia in Manhattan means protecting the rhythms that make life meaningful," Sendach emphasizes. "We safeguard independence by adapting to treasured routines: morning news discussions over tea, walks to local markets, or arranging family photos. Our care isn’t about taking over—it’s about walking alongside seniors as they lead their own stories."
As World Alzheimer's Day approaches this September, Touching Hearts at Home NYC enables seniors to participate in the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's through supported memory walks in Central Park—where caregivers provide balance support and community connection while prioritizing fall safety.
