Tips for Caring for Your Loved One

With dementia care designed to keep local seniors in their own homes, Visiting Angels^® Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk provides a wonderful solution for local families. We can help you provide excellent care for your loved one, allowing them to keep as much independence as possible and avoiding the stressful move to an assisted living facility. In addition to our professional support, we would also like to suggest some helpful tips for better managing this situation. 

You can assist your loved one by being vigilant and making sure they get medical attention quickly. Early detection of dementia can help them get the right medicine and allow you to set up a plan for providing support in Suffolk. 

Another great way to help them live a healthier life is to make sure they get plenty of exercise. This has tremendous physical benefits, and also leads to stronger brain health. 

We also recommend taking a tactful approach to your support. This means letting them handle any tasks they are still capable of, while helping in any ways they need. By helping them keep some autonomy, you can ease the transition and reduce the stress of this process. 

The move to an assisted living facility would force them to surrender most of their independence. It also causes added stress and can increase the confusion associated with their disorder. The comfort and familiarity of home cannot be replaced. Allowing your loved one to maintain life in their own residence is the best option, and we are proud to help you make that a reality.
