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 San Ramon, we’re here to remind you that you have another option.
Our caregivers provide clients with compassionate, knowledgeable care that caters to the individual’s needs and wants. We want all of our clients throughout Contra Costa and Alameda Counties in California 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 San Ramon, 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 San Ramon has partnered with leading dementia specialists to develop a series of certification programs. Basic training is available to all of our caregivers, 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 in-home assistance with a wide variety of needs. We assist our clients with personal tasks, provide comforting companionship and offer helpful reminders when needed.
Our in-home care services for those with dementia can include help with activities that include:
Visiting Angels San Ramon 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 couldn't be happier with Visiting Angels. My mother and I received transportation service almost at a moment's notice. I needed help at the last minute and they sent a bilingual caregiver to assist us. She was a great driver, and a great advocate for my mom on another visit to the doctor's. Thank you for your help!
