Alzheimer's Care in Fair Oaks Ranch

What to Expect After Diagnosis

At Visiting Angels^® Boerne, we offer Alzheimer's care to help Fair Oaks Ranch area families. Our support is the best way to keep seniors with the disorder living in their own homes. In addition to our compassionate and professional care, we also hope to keep local seniors more informed about the disorder and how it will change their lives. 

For those who have recently been diagnosed, understand that most aspects of your day-to-day life will continue as normal for the time being. You will experience moments of confusion and forgetfulness, but most are able to maintain some form of independence. Be prepared for issues like forgetting what you are doing in the middle of a task, or trouble recalling a common phrase or word. When these moments occur, they can be very stressful, so it's important to have some support. 

With time, Alzheimer's will shift from mild to moderate dementia. Once this occurs, your everyday life can change with each moment. You can expect to struggle with old memories, everyday tasks, and other basic elements of your life. You will come to rely more and more on outside support. 

With late-stage Alzheimer's, most have very little awareness of their surroundings. During this phase, it's important to have constant support from family or professional caregivers. 

While all of this seems quite bleak, there are many ways you can maximize your quality of life. With a healthy diet, consistent exercise (both mental and physical), and a low-stress lifestyle, you can slow-down the process of cognitive decline. Living in a familiar setting will also be a tremendous benefit, which is why we work so hard to help local seniors with Alzheimer's remain in their own homes.
