Alzheimer’s Care Spokane

Improving the Quality of Life for Those Living with Alzheimer's

When a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, their need for care will increase over time. The early stages of Alzheimer's can allow a person to continue living with near complete independence. However, later stages result in not only increasing forgetfulness but also a progressive loss of mental and physical control. Alzheimer's first affects the memory centers of the brain and affects the nerve cells as the years go by. Most people with Alzheimer's benefit not just from professional care, but also familiar and comforting surroundings. This is why at-home Alzheimer's care services in Spokane are something we are proud to offer.

If your loved one requires professional care to stay safe and maximize their years of mental clarity, the Visiting Angels of Spokane is honored to provide the help that will benefit your loved one and the whole family.

What Is Alzheimer's Care?

Alzheimer's care provides specialized medical support and companionship, helping individuals find comfort and quality in their final years. Unlike general memory care for all dementia cases, Alzheimer's care provides support tailored to the personal and neurological needs of a person experiencing the progressive stages of this disease.

In the early stages, this involves assistance in maintaining independence and mental clarity with reminders of frequently forgotten details. In later stages, Alzheimer's care addresses neurological decline, going beyond basic memory support and home safety to provide comprehensive assistance.

Our Alzheimer's support in Spokane can help you take care of your affected relative with a compassionate and expertly trained service that is close to home.

Benefits of Alzheimer's Care at Home

In-home Alzheimer's care keeps your loved one in a familiar setting, surrounded by meaningful memories and the comfort of family. Receiving care at home often helps Alzheimer's patients feel safer and more comfortable, even when they lose track of time. Surrounded by physical reminders of family, history, and memories, they can easily stay connected to the details of their lives.

This is why memory care at home is a popular choice for all seniors experiencing dementia, and home care is particularly beneficial for those with Alzheimer's disease. We have found that our Alzheimer's home care in Spokane is less stressful and can help extend the earlier stages of the disease. The home environment provides comfort and mental stimulation, making it easier for relatives to keep in touch.

Familiar and Comforting Environment

Alzheimer's disease primarily affects the memory centers of the brain. Early stages involve being unable to recall a few words or details, while later stages cause patients to forget recent experiences and lose track of years and seasons. Our Alzheimer's home care services in Spokane keep patients in familiar, comforting surroundings, allowing them to stay in the home they've known for years.

This reduces the stress of unfamiliar memory care facilities, offering the comfort of familiarity as the disease continues to progress. Alzheimer's patients are usually more comfortable aging in place with at-home care than they are away from home. From the earliest stages to later forgetfulness and social withdrawal, being at home is reassuring and an anchor point through often disorienting experiences.

Surrounded by Reminders of Lifetime Memories

In the early and middle stages of Alzheimer's, home care offers personal reminders of life, loved ones, and cherished memories. Personal keepsakes, photos on the wall, and the setting of many family experiences can help Alzheimer's patients stay connected with memories they want to keep. These environmental reminders support memory care routines by helping maintain associations, practice memory recall, and strengthen connections with family members.

As patients suffer increased memory damage, familiar surroundings help them retain a sense of grounding and recall their life experiences.

Prolongs Independence

Our Alzheimer's care services in Spokane help patients maintain their self-care routines and daily rituals. Home life becomes a deeply ingrained habit that is easier to continue where those habits form. Alzheimer's patients with home care often enjoy a prolonged period of independence and partial independence until the disease begins to have a significant effect on their motor control.

Easier to Stay in Touch With Family

Lastly, staying at home makes family visits easier, more welcoming, and less stressful for family members. Those with Alzheimer's benefit from visits, conversation, mental stimulation, and low-stress social experiences with familiar loved ones. Home care makes it easier for families to visit and more relaxed to spend time in the family home together compared to visiting a memory unit, which provides many benefits for someone going through the stages of Alzheimer's.
