How Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care Differ

Visiting Angels SE-OKC specializes in dementia and Alzheimer’s care services for seniors living in Oklahoma City and Southeast Oklahoma County. Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia, in addition to Lewy Body, vascular, Parkinson’s-related, and frontotemporal. Both Alzheimer’s and dementia describe changes in cognitive function separate from the normal decline in memory due to aging.

Although Alzheimer’s and dementia can look similar on the surface, supporting seniors living with these conditions requires skilled caregiving from individuals trained to notice the smallest changes in mood and behavior. Our Angels are experienced in adapting to seniors’ evolving symptoms, responding with empathy and compassion at every turn. Trust Visiting Angels SE-OKC to ensure your senior loved one diagnosed with dementia receives the best possible care.
