Our Mission: To Improve the Quality of Life for Those Living with Alzheimer's and Their Families

   

When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, you have many tough choices ahead. This can be increased when you're working and have your own family to take care of, or if you don't live nearby and can't provide regular care and support to your loved one. It might seem like a nursing home is the only option. But with the Alzheimer's care services at Visiting Angels^® Cedar Rapids , we can provide a different choice: the right level of help, care and attention – at home.

Why Choose Visiting Angels Cedar Rapids for Alzheimer's Care Services?

At Visiting Angels Cedar Rapids, we understand the situation you're facing. And we have a unique program to help you handle it. In fact, our Alzheimer's care services are a part of our Life Care Navigation^® program. We can provide the level of care your loved one needs today, and easily adjust it tomorrow and in the future as needs change. Whether you're looking for respite care, part-time care, or full-time private duty care, we can help.

Some of the Alzheimer's care services Visiting Angels Cedar Rapids can offer your loved one include:
