If someone you love has been diagnosed with dementia, whether it's early, mid, or late-stage, our in home care professionals can help. At Visiting Angels^® Southeast Portland, our specialized dementia care in West Linn and the surrounding area can offer essential support for seniors experiencing cognitive decline.

Millions of older adults across the country have some form of dementia, which can make it much harder and potentially dangerous to live on their own. Seniors with dementia can experience significant confusion and memory loss that can affect their nutrition, their psychological well-being, and their safety. Because of this, they may need a lot of support from friends, family, and care professionals — and that need will only grow over time. 

How Our Dementia Care Can Help Seniors in the West Linn Area

Aging in place can be especially beneficial for seniors with dementia, since it allows them to stay rooted in a stable and familiar environment at a very disorienting and vulnerable time. Our care professionals in West Linn can provide compassionate, specialized dementia care so that your loved one can continue to live at home. Meanwhile, you and your family can receive the respite you need to be there for your loved one while navigating your own challenges in life. 

As with our other senior care services in West Linn, we can create a flexible dementia care plan based on the support your relative needs now and the level of care they may need in the future. We offer care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so we can coordinate with your family to set a caregiving schedule that meets everyone's needs.

How Aging in Place Helps Those with Dementia

When dementia is diagnosed, it's important to take steps to create a senior care plan. Without the right assistance, your loved one is likely to end up moving to a care facility. While life in such a place can have several benefits when it comes to their safety and security, it forces them to leave their familiar home.

For those with memory-based issues, maintaining a familiar setting can be a crucial advantage, so Visiting Angels Southeast Portland is proud to offer our support. We provide flexible, in-home dementia care to help each senior address their specific needs and live a safer, easier, and healthier home life in the West Linn area. With our assistance, you can create a better quality of life for your loved one, allowing them to enjoy the peace, privacy, and dignity of living in their own home. 

Compassionate Caregivers You Can Trust

Bringing a stranger into your home can be a difficult choice to make. We recognize the stress involved with this decision, but rest assured, we take every precaution to make sure our caregivers are all great people who you can 100% trust with this crucial responsibility. We rely on background and reference checks during the hiring process to target the right individuals. As a result, all of our caregivers are honest, dependable, and compassionate people who are ideal for senior home care. 

A Crucial Respite for Your Family

Our support is about more than creating a better life for seniors, it's also designed to help caregiving relatives. Instead of taking on the full weight of this responsibility on your own, you can delegate their care to kind, honest, and loving dementia care professionals who will treat them with respect, dignity, and empathy at all times. 

We are proud to help local families avoid caregiver burnout with respite care and create better situations for everyone involved. With our flexible and evolving support, we'll monitor your loved one's status for any changes and make the right updates to our care. You can rely on Visiting Angels Southeast Portland to keep your loved one safe, healthy, and comfortable as they cope with their affliction in their own private and familiar space.
