At Visiting Angels^® Lincoln, our dementia care services aim to support elderly adults with dementia by offering the specific assistance they need to maintain their quality of life while living in their own homes. In addition, we offer much needed respite and relief to family caregivers or others who are involved in the senior’s care. These care services are available for seniors with early-stage, mid-stage, or late-stage dementia living in the Lincoln area.

How Dementia Care in Lincoln Helps

When you have a loved one that receives a dementia diagnoses, you may reach out to them to provide as much support and assistance as you can. However, this is not always a sustainable situation. Balancing a loved one’s care needs with your other personal and professional responsibilities can put a strain on your relationship. You may even consider moving a loved one to a nursing home or memory care facility.

With our dementia care services from Visiting Angels Lincoln, you can receive the respite you need while ensuring a loved one is getting the high-quality care that they deserve. Our in-home services in Lincoln offer support and assistance with a wide range of tasks, helping a loved one age in place with dignity and giving you time to look after your own well-being.
