Here’s how home care specialists from Visiting Angels help seniors in Eldersburg, Randallstown, Westminster, Ellicott City, Columbia, Baltimore and surrounding areas in Maryland manage symptoms of early-onset dementia

At Visiting Angels Eldersburg, our caregivers are trained to provide various types of care, including dementia care for clients diagnosed with cognitive disorders. Most of our clients are seniors, but we also care for adults with early-onset dementia, which can even develop in people’s 30s or 40s.

If your loved one has early-onset dementia, you need to prepare for the challenges that lay ahead. When their condition progresses to the point that you are no longer able to provide proper care, it is a good idea to consider hiring professional caregivers who can support your family throughout the advanced phases of the condition.

When You Should Hire Home Care Specialists

If you are not certain when is the right time to get expert help, you should assess how you feel at this point. These are the most common signs that primary caregivers need professional assistance:

• You can no longer cope with all the caregiving responsibilities
• You feel overwhelmed most of the time
• You have no time for yourself and your needs
• You are afraid to leave your loved one home alone
• You are struggling financially because of how much time you spend on care

You may think that hiring home care specialists means in some way betraying your loved one. However, with Visiting Angels Eldersburg as your partners in memory care, not only will your loved one get the right type and level of care, but you will be able to meet your needs as well. 

How Does Dementia Care Help?

With expert dementia care from Visiting Angels Eldersburg, your loved one will receive assistance with daily tasks, comfort and emotional support and memory care needed for slowing down the advancement of dementia. Our caregivers are trained to work with adults with cognitive conditions and successfully overcome any challenges along the way.

Letting our home care specialists help your family is also a way to take better care of yourself – to have more time for your needs, responsibilities, and favorite activities and to be able to rest whenever you feel it is all a bit too much.

Paying for In-Home Memory Care

Many families and primary caregivers are worried about the costs of professional dementia care. Fortunately, private insurance and government assistance can cover early-onset dementia care. Make sure to speak with an insurer to check if your loved one is eligible for dementia care coverage or apply for Social Security Disability to get Medicaid.

If these are not options for your loved one, you should consider paying for dementia care out of pocket. When you choose to work with Visiting Angels Eldersburg, our home care specialists will outline a plan of care that fits your budget and help you figure out the best solution for your loved one.
