After a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, you may find yourself taking on the responsibility of their care. As time goes by, you may start to find that the responsibility of caring for your loved one is growing larger and larger. You may even want to move your loved one to an assisted living facility or nursing home. At Visiting Angels of San Ramon, we’re here to remind you that you have another option.
Our home care aides provide clients with compassionate, knowledgeable care that caters to the individual’s needs and wants. We want all of our clients to have the opportunity to live at home for as long as possible. Also, we want you, as a family caregiver, to have the time to cater to your own responsibilities and own well-being.
At Visiting Angels, we understand the challenges of caring for those with dementia. Unlike other types of senior care, memory care services must be tailored to the specific symptoms, risks, and challenges related to the different types of dementia.
Visiting Angels has partnered with leading dementia specialists to develop a series of certification programs. Basic training is available to all of our home care aides, and many caregivers are certified in advanced dementia care protocols.
These services are offered through Life Care Navigation™, a collection of specialized senior care services, each of which focuses on a different aspect of elderly living. These services include a dedicated Alzheimer’s care program for those with Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for 60 to 80 percent of all cases of dementia.
Through our dementia care program, we provide assistance with a wide variety of needs. We assist our clients with personal tasks, provide comforting companionship, and offer helpful reminders when needed. Our home care services for seniors with dementia can include help with activities that include:
Visiting Angels offers free care assessments to help you determine if dementia care services are right for your loved one. Your loved one’s care assessment will be performed in the comfort of his or her home. During this assessment, we will outline the foundation for your loved one’s care plan.
First, we will customize a care plan around your loved one’s lifestyle, preferences, and symptoms. If you decided to proceed with care, we will then match your loved one with a home care aide whose skills and strengths are particularly suited to your loved one’s care needs. You will have the opportunity to Select Your Caregiver® to ensure your full peace of mind.
I recently had surgery and since I live alone I searched for a home care company that could assist me in my recovery. I was hesitant as I had never previously utilized the services of a home care company. I was more than pleasantly surprised when I contacted Visiting Angels in San Ramon. From the time my call was answered I was met with a caring and knowledgeable staff that answered all of my concerns in a courteous, respectful manner. I made an appointment for their registered nurse to assess my needs as well as provide me with suggestions to make my environment safer. She was amazing, very experienced, kind and walked me through the entire process. Her concern for my comfort was incredible.I required twenty-four hour a day service and never once regretted my choice. For me, customer service, along with the healthcare assistance is vital and all of my expectations were far exceeded. Without reservation I highly recommend Visiting Angels.
