A diagnosis of dementia can be devastating for an entire family, and it can be difficult to know how to move forward. Balancing your loved one's care with your own work and home commitments is extremely challenging and can be made even more difficult with distance. Visiting Angels^® Sugar Land offers you an affordable and effective option for in-home dementia care from our local caregivers. They provide capable, compassionate hands to help guide your loved one through the obstacles that dementia can set in their path, and strong shoulders for you to lean on. 

Customized Dementia Care for Sugar Land Area Families

Just like the seniors it afflicts, dementia can come in many shapes and sizes. That's why, when it comes to providing the most effective care, getting the right fit is key. The dementia care experts at Visiting Angels Sugar Land know that, which is why we don't just assign services to the seniors we serve. We work with them and their families to build custom care plans, built especially for them. 

Some of the areas in which we personalize your dementia care in Sugar Land include:

• Which kinds of services you would like your loved one to receive
• How often you would like their caregiver to visit and how long they should stay
• What kind of schedule to set for meals and sleep times
• Which member of our team provides your loved one's dementia care
• Whether you would like short term or long term care for your loved one

Having your loved one's dementia care designed just for them at Visiting Angels Sugar Land ensures a perfect bridge between their needs and their care, bringing a new level of comfort and support to you both. 

Dementia is known as a progressive disease, meaning it typically worsens over time. As your loved one encounters dementia-related changes, their care needs will change as well. Our team can make the necessary changes to your loved one’s care plan at any time. The services they receive and their schedule of visits can be altered to meet their new needs. With our customizable care, you can rest assured your loved one’s needs are met at all times.

How Our Dementia Care Makes Aging in Place Possible

At Visiting Angels Sugar Land, we bring quality care and companionship into the homes of local seniors. Our caregivers provide assistance with everyday tasks that may be difficult for seniors living with dementia. If you worry about your loved one forgetting to eat, pay bills, or attend appointments, our caregivers are here to help.

Here are some of the services we offer:

• Light housekeeping and laundry assistance
• Meal planning and preparation
• Friendly companionship
• Mobility assistance
• Transportation to appointments
• Medication reminders
• Running errands
• Respectful personal care assistance

Though seniors with dementia can use assistance with the above tasks, they also need care that goes beyond the surface. Our caregivers are here to provide both mental and emotional support for their clients. Dementia often causes mood swings, irrational thoughts, and anger. Your loved one can find comfort during these times. Our caregivers are well-versed in using calming techniques, like playing music and reinstating familiarity. We are also knowledgeable about working with seniors who may be uncooperative or combative.

Another way we help seniors with dementia age in place is by prioritizing their safety. A main area of concern for seniors who live independently is falling or becoming injured. Our team has various measures in place to help your loved one age in place safely. One of our efforts is to help you create a safe home environment for your loved one. We can offer simple suggestions, like installing bathroom grab bars, keeping walkways decluttered, and using non-slip rugs. We want to help prevent falls and injuries so your loved one can continue aging at home.

With our wide range of home care services, you can have complete peace of mind. Our team at Visiting Angels Sugar Land is committed to serving seniors with dementia and ensuring they are living a fulfilling lifestyle at home. Our personalized approach to care allows us to cater to your loved one’s exact needs.
