Alzheimer's Care in Fleming Island

Helping Family and Friends Understand the Alzheimer's Diagnosis

At Visiting Angels^® Jacksonville, we offer professional Alzheimer's care in the homes of Fleming Island area seniors. Our support is intended to keep your loved one safe and comfortable at home, helping them avoid the move to a care facility and allowing them to cope with their disorder in a more familiar environment. 

Alzheimer's is a difficult disorder for the entire family, since it attacks the memory and changes the way your loved one thinks. As a loving family member, it's important to understand what they are going through so you can respond in the right way. 

The effects of Alzheimer's are permanent, so you should avoid correcting them or expecting them to return to normal. Putting these types of expectations on your loved one will only serve to amplify their stress, embarrassment, and confusion.    

You need to be prepared for the fact that they will forget things. Some with the disorder even forget the names and identities of close family members. It's important to never take these things personally and to always remember that the disease is at fault, not the person. 

An Alzheimer's diagnosis can bring a lot of new challenges for you and your loved one. It's vital to seek help and build a support system. Our service is a key part of that process, as we provide the consistent care they need to remain at home and enjoy a more familiar setting. For your own mental well-being, we suggest joining a local support group and connecting with people in a similar situation.
