Safely Aging in Place with Dementia Care at Home
Although the terms dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are sometimes used interchangeably, they are different diagnoses and can have different symptoms.
While dementia refers to symptoms affecting memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills, Alzheimer’s is a brain disease causing progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. People who have dementia may get better or stay the same, while people with Alzheimer’s will continue to worsen.
When caring for an older adult with dementia, it’s important to choose a professional dementia caregiver like those from Visiting Angels who understand the symptoms and challenges your loved one faces, such as personality changes, agitation and depression. To better serve you and your family, our Angels receive basic and advanced-level dementia care training developed in partnership with some of the top specialists in this field.
Our dementia caregivers learn effective communication techniques, including using simple language, speaking slowly and clearly and how to de-escalate challenging behaviors.
Benefits of In-Home Dementia Care
In-home dementia care offers many benefits, but one of the most important ones is your loved one being able to remain in a comfortable setting, maintain their independence and follow an established routine. For people with dementia, being in a familiar environment can reduce anxiety and agitation.
Your loved one will also benefit from personalized care and one-on-one attention from their Angel. This can help reduce feelings of depression and anxiety, which may accelerate cognitive decline.
Although it depends on your loved one's needs and the level of care they require, in-home care generally tends to be a more affordable option than a nursing home.
If you're the primary caregiver for your loved one, having help from Visiting Angels allows you to balance your own personal and professional commitments while ensuring your senior's needs are met.
