How To Help When They Say They Want To Go Home

At Visiting Angels^® Anaheim, we provide dementia care throughout Northern Orange County. In addition to all the benefits our professional in-home support provides, we would also like to offer some helpful guidance for family members. 

Reduced verbal communication is a common side-effect of the disorder. This leads to a frequent situation where you'll hear your relative say "I want to go home." When they say this, they don't mean it literally, so avoid trying to debate with them. This phrase is used to express their discomfort, so it could refer to a new physical injury or some form of emotional distress. 

The best thing you can do is stay calm and try to redirect their attention with a hug or a simple activity. Anything you can do to help them feel relaxed and loved will be helpful in these moments of stress, fear, and confusion.

Our service is the perfect solution for many seniors with dementia.

Our in-home care provides a better option than life in an assisted living facility, because it allows them to keep on living where they are comfortable and familiar. We are proud to deliver trusted care that saves your loved one from this stressful move and allows them to age in place.

Dementia Care To Help The Whole Family

Dealing with a dementia diagnosis in the family means setting up a care plan that works. You can't do all of this on your own, and you should avoid moving them to an assisted care facility at all costs. Our service is the best option, allowing them to receive the care they need right in their own home. This will give you the chance to rest and reduce stress, without feeling like you have let your loved one down.
