Alzheimer's Care in East and South San Diego County

What to Expect After Diagnosis

If a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, it's important to find support you can trust. At Visiting Angels^® El Cajon, we provide kind and compassionate Alzheimer's care for seniors in East and South San Diego County. Our caregivers enter local homes and deliver the support and attention seniors with this disorder require. Our goal is to keep them out of a care facility, allowing them to benefit from the familiarity and comfort of living at home. 

For those with a recent Alzheimer's diagnosis in the family, it's vital to understand what lies ahead. Having reasonable expectations will allow you to better cope with the issues created by this disorder. In the early stages, people with Alzheimer's can carry on with their usual routine. Although they may need some basic assistance, they can live independent and functional lives. However, there will be regular moments of confusion and disorientation, which can be very frustrating. 

As the situation progresses, daily life becomes more difficult and in-home assistance will be required. In fact, some everyday tasks will be completely impossible to handle on their own. Having a care professional or family member around is also very important for moments of serious confusion. These situations can be very stressful, so they can really benefit from a calm, helpful presence. 

With all the negative effects of this disorder, it's important to provide those afflicted with every possible benefit. By keeping a healthy diet and maintaining consistent physical and mental exercise, seniors can minimize the effects and improve their quality of life. Remaining at home is also very critical, as it keeps them in a familiar environment with all sorts of different comforts.
