Have You or a Loved One Been Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, Memory Loss, or Cognitive Decline?
Alzheimer’s disease touches every part of a person’s life—memory, mood, relationships, and independence.
At Gentle Shepherd Care, we provide a gentle, supportive approach that addresses more than just symptoms.
Our holistic Alzheimer’s care focuses on preserving quality of life, nurturing the mind and body, and bringing peace to individuals and families navigating this journey.
What is Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the brain, leading to memory loss, cognitive decline, and changes in behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life.
We are here to help
Supporting Your Entire Family
Alzheimer’s care affects more than just the individual—it deeply impacts caregivers and loved ones.
We offer guidance, education, and emotional support to help families cope with changes, manage care, and maintain connection.
Whether you’re seeking early intervention or support during advanced stages, our team is here to walk with you—every step of the way.

What Is Holistic Alzheimer’s Care?
Holistic treatment views Alzheimer’s as not only a neurological condition, but a whole-body experience. Our approach supports the person—not just the disease—by integrating natural therapies with personalized lifestyle changes. We aim to reduce cognitive decline, support emotional well-being, and strengthen the body’s ability to function and adapt.
Our care plans are tailored for each stage of Alzheimer’s and may include:
- Brain-Supportive Nutrition
Anti-inflammatory diets, targeted supplements, and gut-brain support to nourish cognitive health. - Cognitive Stimulation & Memory Support
Activities, sensory therapies, and brain training to help maintain memory, clarity, and engagement. - Stress Education & Emotional Support
Meditation, mindfulness, music therapy, and gentle talk therapy to ease anxiety, confusion, and agitation. - Movement & Gentle Exercise
Functional movement to support circulation, mobility, and emotional regulation.
Why Choose a Holistic Approach to Alzheimer’s?
Traditional treatments have their place, but they often focus on slowing progression rather than improving daily life. Our integrative care is designed to:
- Reduce confusion and emotional distress
- Support focus, memory, and mood
- Improve sleep and energy
- Offer comfort, connection, and dignity
- Empower caregivers with tools and support
