Dementia Care services offer specialized in-home support to those with early-stage, mid-stage, or late-stage dementia. Our caregivers help our clients maintain quality of life so that aging in place remains possible. We also provide family caregivers with much-needed respite.
When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, their well-being will depend on family, friends, and familiar surroundings. Over time, your loved one will likely rely on family caregivers and the comfort of their home more and more. You may find yourself overwhelmed trying to care for your loved one. Eventually, you may start to worry that you will need to move your loved one into a nursing facility.
Dementia care services from Visiting Angels® can provide you and your loved one with the support you need. Our caregivers offer compassionate, specialized assistance designed specifically for those who are coping with dementia. This way, your loved one can continue to live at home, receiving care designed to maximize quality of life. At the same time, you will get the respite you need to maintain your own well-being and find time for other important responsibilities.
At Visiting Angels, we understand the challenges of caring for those with dementia. Unlike other types of senior care, dementia 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 dementia care certification programs. Basic dementia care training is available to all Visiting Angels caregivers, and many caregivers are certified in advanced dementia care protocols.
Our dementia care 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% 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 dementia care services 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 dementia care services.
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 caregiver 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.
A few years ago we started using Visiting Angels for part-time assistance for my elderly mother. We had tried other services, and we were very disappointed with the quality of care received. Visiting Angels was our last resort, and what a pleasure it was to find them. At the time we only needed assistance about 12-hrs per week. The caregivers were very nice and helpful. I mostly dealt with Sophia, who scheduled the caregivers, and checked in with me regularly to see how things were going. The entire staff were very pleasant to work with, and extremely accommodating. We recently moved mom to an assisted living facility, as she now needs full-time care. We were very pleased with the care and service we received from Visiting Angels, and we would happily recommend the service to anyone in need of the service.
