Dementia Care in Chicago
Having a treasured relative suffer from dementia takes a toll on the whole family. It's painful to watch them struggle with activities and tasks that once gave them no trouble at all. Memory loss can take things from bad to worse, making everyday tasks more than just tricky for them. Frustration and disorientation can lead to emotional outbursts and fits of anger which the average family caregiver isn't prepared to cope with. Dementia care services from Visiting Angels® Chicago can help.
Whether your family member is in the early stages of their condition or they're dealing with advanced dementia, professional care can make all the difference. We provide personalized care that's always tailored to each client, with home care services that can evolve to support their changing symptoms.
Comprehensive Dementia Care in Chicago
When you choose Visiting Angels Chicago, you'll know that your loved one has the support they need, whenever they need it. Our caregivers can assist with a comprehensive range of tasks, from help around the home to personal care. Care services can occur as frequently as required, and can be adjusted to your loved one's situation. If a family member has already been providing care, we can assist them or even step in to fill their role if needed.
We understand how difficult it can be to cope with the symptoms of dementia. Our care specialists deliver assistance with compassion and sensitivity, easing tough moments with a listening ear and a helping hand. We're dedicated to alleviating the emotional, physical, and mental challenges faced by our clients.
How Our Dementia Care Services Work
At Visiting Angels Chicago, we are committed to providing unparalleled services to our community by taking a unique, mind-body-and-soul approach to dementia care. Our dementia techniques were developed hand-in-hand with the Alzheimer's Foundation of America to help seniors stay at home successfully and bring their families peace of mind.
Some of the things that make our dementia care services truly exceptional are:
- Personalization - Rather than try to prescribe a one-size-fits-all dementia care strategy for your loved one, we learn from you about their needs and customize a plan specifically for them.
- Staying Flexible - Particularly for seniors with memory loss, timing is important. Sticking to familiar routines can mean the world in terms of preventing confusion, which is why our dementia caregivers at Visiting Angels Chicago will gladly adapt their schedules to suit your relative's needs.
- Offering Advanced Care Options - We offer advanced dementia care training to those caregivers who wish to pursue it as a specialization, so that your loved one has the option of even more exceptional home care.
- Keeping in Touch - To maintain a consistently high level of dementia care and ensure that you are completely satisfied with your services, we make sure to check-in regularly with our caregivers and always keep you in the loop.

Free Consultations for Chicago Area Families
In order to craft dementia care especially for your loved one, we first meet with all prospective clients to discuss their unique situation. We offer free consultations for families in Chicago as well as the surrounding areas, including Morton Grove, Golf, Niles, and Lincolnwood.
These no-cost consultations are an ideal time for you to get to know us, too. You'll be able to ask any questions you need answered in order to feel truly confident about your loved one's care. We'll work with you to devise a care plan that's tailored to your family member's needs, as well as their routines, preferences, and even their personality.
This care plan is never completely set in stone. Whenever your family member's needs change, their care plan can change, too. You and your loved one will even be able to contact us after-hours, to ensure we're always aware of any urgent matters or changes. That way, we can always provide the adaptive senior care your family member needs to age in place at home.
