How To Help When They Say They Want To Go Home

At Visiting Angels^® Milford, our dementia care is designed to help Blackstone area seniors and their families. Not only do we offer professional assistance in their own home, but we also provide family members with the chance to cut down on their own care duties without feeling guilty. Our support is the perfect way to assist your loved one and help them maintain a safe and stable home environment. 

As part of our effort to help local families cope with this disorder, we would also like to offer some advice when dealing with one of the more common side-effects. If you spend significant time around your loved one with dementia, you are likely to hear them declare "I want to go home." This can be concerning, especially when they are at home to begin with. 

Dementia affects their ability to communicate verbally, so this is simply their attempt to articulate some discomfort. Instead of focusing on their words and trying to explain things, listen to their emotions and calmly reassure them. They are feeling stressed and scared, so they need to know you are there to help. By being a source of calmness and love, you can really minimize their anxiety.
