Finding Your Ideal Dementia Caregiver in Charlottesville 

dementia caregiver in Charlottesville with elderly patient

If you've been acting as the primary caregiver for an elderly loved one with dementia, you have probably felt the impact that it's had on other areas of your life. Without support, it can wear a person down. Bringing in a professional dementia caregiver from Visiting Angels® Charlottesville can ensure that your loved one always has the care they deserve, without family members having to run themselves ragged trying to provide it. You can rely on the skilled support of a uniquely trained dementia caregiver to help you manage dementia's most difficult symptoms and safeguard your loved one's physical well-being, and their dignity at home in Charlottesville. 

What Questions Should You Be Asking a Dementia Caregiver? 

Before engaging the services of a dementia caregiver for your loved one in Charlottesville, you'll want to make sure that they have the skills and services to meet your needs. For example, if your loved one needs transportation assistance, you will want to check that your caregiver has a valid driver's license and access to a vehicle. Meeting with potential caregivers is also a good way for you to gain a sense of an agency's character and whether they will be a good fit with your family.

Asking questions during your consultation is your opportunity to get the information you need to make decisions about your loved one's care with confidence, so don't be shy! 

Some questions you may want to ask prospective caregivers could include: 

  • Have they cared for someone with dementia before?
  • Have they received dementia-specific training?
  • How do they deal with emotional outbursts or anxiety?
  • How will they prevent wandering or other accidents? 
  • How do they keep track of medications and appointments?
  • What is their protocol in case of an emergency?
  • Will they be available evenings, weekends, and holidays?
