Specialized Care
Specialized Care for Alzheimer's, Dementia & Parkinson's
Specialized care is trained, consistent in-home support for people living with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, or recovering from a stroke. It's for families whose loved one's needs go beyond everyday assistance and who want a caregiver with experience in their specific condition. We provide specialized care throughout Central and Northern Virginia.
When someone's needs are complex, the right caregiver makes all the difference — so we match each specialized care client with a caregiver who has experience supporting their condition, and we keep that match consistent from visit to visit.
What does specialized care include?
Specialized care builds on our personal care service with condition-specific experience and routines. This is non-medical care — for skilled nursing needs, we're glad to work alongside a home health or hospice provider.

Who is specialized care for?
Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, or another complex condition comes with challenges most families haven't faced before — and they shouldn't have to navigate them alone. A caregiver who understands these conditions provides practical day-to-day support along with something just as valuable: consistency, familiarity, and peace of mind for the whole family.
For memory-related conditions in particular, we focus on familiar routines, encouraging independence where possible, and calm, patient support that helps clients feel safe in their own homes. One on One Care is licensed by the Virginia Department of Health, and every caregiver is background-checked and screened before entering a client's home.

Specialized Care Questions
Questions about specialized care
Here are the questions families ask most about dementia, Parkinson's, and post-stroke care at home. If you don't see yours, call us.
Call (540) 288-1300Yes. Caring for someone with Alzheimer's or dementia takes patience, understanding, and consistency. Our caregivers are experienced in supporting people with memory-related conditions. We focus on familiar routines, encouraging independence where possible, and compassionate support that helps clients feel safe and comfortable at home.
No. One on One Care provides non-medical personal care — help with daily living, not clinical treatment. We don't administer medication, give injections, or provide skilled nursing. If your loved one needs medical care at home, we're glad to work alongside a home health or hospice provider.
It starts with a phone call or our contact form. We talk through what's going on, answer your questions, and set up a free in-home consultation. From there we build a care plan around your loved one's routine and match a caregiver whose personality and experience fit. You decide the pace — there's never any pressure.
In most cases, yes — long-term care insurance policies commonly cover non-medical personal care like ours. We work with LTC insurance clients regularly and can help you understand what your policy requires, such as care notes and invoices for reimbursement. Bring us your policy details and we'll help you sort it out.
