When a loved one is diagnosed with the condition that affects memory and cognitive functions, like Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia, has recently survived a stroke or has recently endured a traumatic brain injury, it is important to plan for their future care.

How Our Home Care Services Help Seniors with Memory-Related Issues in Dallas, TX

When first diagnosed with a memory-related illness, seniors can typically continue caring for themselves just fine. However, as the condition worsens, they can no longer perform daily tasks with ease and need help to continue aging in place. Sadly, older adults with dementia and similar conditions do not just suffer from memory loss. They also show symptoms like confusion, inability to concentrate, speech problems, and even hallucinations.

With the right set of home care services from Visiting Angels Dallas, they can get the help and support they need as they face these challenges. We build personalized care plans for our clients and review them every couple of months to make sure that they are still receiving the exact level of care they need. You can also request changes to your loved one’s plan whenever you think their needs have advanced.

Here is how our caregivers can help your loved one with dementia:

• Meal preparation: Our caregivers plan and prepare healthy, nutritious, and delicious meals. They can go grocery shopping as well.
