Natalie L., Ph.D.

Before Natalia Powell had her own agency, Royal Oaks Home Care, she had come to my attention because of her excellent reputation as an experienced caregiver among people in my mother’s community. She was universally recommended by many of my mother’s friends. Since Natalia is so busy running her own agency, she is less available in that capacity than she had been in the past. However, while I was looking for high quality help for my mother last year, she assisted me on numerous occasions, and it became clear to me why she is so highly regarded. Natalia is an exceptionally responsible, hard-working, compassionate person. She is constantly busy when she is working, and is not the type that would ever feel comfortable sitting around. I always felt that my mother was completely safe in Natalia’s competent hands. It has also become apparent to me that she expects the same high standards from the people she hires as caregivers in her agency. Natalia put me in touch with a caregiver, who has been working with my mom and is an extremely adept caregiver. I feel equally secure leaving my mom in her capable hands. Like Natalia, the caregiver is diligent, experienced, conscientious, and caring. I am deeply grateful to have had these two skilled, trustworthy people working with my beloved mother.

Having your caregiver help my mom at her assisted living facility has been blessing. I would highly recommend Natalia and Royal Oaks Home Care to anyone who needs help.

Irina K.

I want to thank you for the time you spent with my aunt in the past three months. You were always courteous and understanding. There was never any questioning but always a genuine willingness to help. You were always punctual and concerned about her health and I appreciate everything you done. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Natalia from Royal Oaks provided care for my Dad’s significant other before she passed and is now providing care for my Dad. While many agencies can provide care, it’s Natalia’s caring about the people she works for that sets her apart. With my Dad in FL, and all his kids living in MA, it’s comforting to know Natalia is in my Dad’s life.

What is Alzheimer's Disease?

Alzheimer’s Disease is a “a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions” — Mayo Clinic. It is a type of dementia that negatively affects short and long term memory, behavior and thinking. Symptoms of Alzheimer’s tend to become more severe as the disease progresses, eventually impacting the day to day life of the individual.

The disease develops years prior to any noticeable symptoms, about 18-20 years before symptoms arise. As the disease progresses, it damages neurons in other parts of the brain, eventually affecting important functions such as walking, swallowing and other bodily functions.

Different programs and services such as medications (under the advisement of one’s doctor) and specialized care plans at home or in a facility can help support the individual with daily tasks and as well as maximize independency for a time.

Stages of Alzheimer's Disease

Early Stage

In this stage, people with Alzheimer’s begin experiencing early symptoms of memory loss, and a decline in cognitive functions. Common behavioral symptoms are repetition of words questions or sentences, delay in completing basic tasks such as brushing teeth or preparing food, a tendency to wander and lost oneself, and there are some personality changes such as getting upset frequently, becoming more irritable, anxiety/stress, imagining things that aren’t there and developing depression.

Common Difficulties & Symptoms

Difficulty in using words, sentences, or asking questions
Remembering names when introduced to new people
Frequently misplacing and/or losing objects
Increased trouble in planning and organization

Middle Stage

In this stage, areas of the brain that controls logic, reasoning, language, sensory processing and general thinking, are damaged, increasing the severity of the early symptoms and as well as facilitates new ones. Memory loss and daily confusion increases in intensity, and individuals may find it hard to recognize the faces of family and friends. It is also common for individuals during this stage to not be able to learn new things, perform day to day tasks such as dressing and navigating one’s home.

Common Difficulties & Symptoms

Forgetfulness of events or personal history
Changes in mood & feeling
Unable to recall information such as address or phone number
Trouble controlling bladder & bowls
Tendency to wander & become lost

Late Stage

Individuals at this stage experience gradual loss of thinking, cannot communicate effectively, experience worse symptoms as the disease progresses, and are entirely dependent on other parties such as a caregiver or a family member. Individuals at this stage are very likely to become bed ridden. As symptoms progress

Common Difficulties & Symptoms

Loss of awareness of recent experiences or surrounding
Changes in physical abilities such as walking, sitting and swallowing
Extreme difficulty to communicate effectively
Easily infected by colds and infections (i.e. pneumonia)
