Dementia Care in Flagstaff: How To Help When They Say They Want To Go Home

With in-home dementia care from trusted senior care professionals, Visiting Angels® Flagstaff helps local families in a number of ways. We offer customized help around the house to help them manage their disorder and maintain a safe environment. Our assistance is the perfect way to extend their home life and provide family caregivers with a stress-relieving break. 

As part of our support, we would like to offer some advice for family caregivers, to help you deal with a very common situation. When caring for your relative, you might hear them say "I want to go home." When they say this phrase while standing in their own home, your first reaction might be to assume they are confused. However, this is often a sign of some sort of discomfort, and their odd word choice is simply a result of their disorder.

Dementia affects their ability to communicate properly, so this statement often comes out in their attempt to describe physical or emotional distress. It's your job in these moments to remain calm and attentive, while redirecting their attention and avoiding any sort of argument.
