Alzheimer's Care in Orange Park

What to Expect After Diagnosis

At Visiting Angels^® Jacksonville, we provide professional Alzheimer's care for Orange Park area seniors. Our goal is to make the lives of those diagnosed easier, safer, and more comfortable, allowing them to cope with their disorder from the familiar setting of their own home.

For seniors who have recently been diagnosed, it's important to understand how the disorder will progress. In the beginning, most are able to retain some level of independence. Moments of forgetfulness and confusion will occur less frequently. It's important to understand and expect these situations, in order to avoid getting too stressed. Even in these early stages, it can be very helpful to have someone around you can rely on. 

In the middle stages of the disorder, things become a bit more moment-to-moment. You will have more trouble recollecting old memories, and everyday tasks will become more difficult, even impossible. 

During late-stage Alzheimer's, these issues will get worse, and you will need to have constant care from a loved one or a care professional. To make the most out of your life with this disorder, it's important to live as healthily as possible. Eating a healthy diet, getting regular physical exercise and keeping your mind active are all great ways to slow down the progression of mental decline. 

Another major factor in living comfortably with Alzheimer's, is retaining your familiar living environment. Remaining at home rather than moving to a care facility can reduce confusion, stress, and discomfort. It will allow you to have more privacy and enjoy a more dignified life going forward.
