How Alzheimer's Affects the Health of Elderly People in Wichita, KS, and The Surrounding Areas

A senior's general health might be severely compromised as the illness of Alzheimer's advances. Because they may be unable to prepare their own food or just forget to eat, they run the risk of malnutrition and weight loss. Because of their disorientation and confusion, they may also be more likely to have accidents involving falls. They risk additional harm to their health and well-being as a result of injuries and hospitalizations.

Dementia Symptoms

Memory loss, disorientation, confusion, disorientation, mood swings, behavioral abnormalities, and language difficulties are among the most prevalent symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. It might become more challenging for elders to live independently as these symptoms progress.

Why Should You Hire Visiting Angels for Your Alzheimer's Care?

Assisting Family Caregivers

Unfortunately, family caregivers aren't always ready to meet the demands of an elderly loved one with an Alzheimer's diagnosis. Having their own obligations and duties on top of this might make it much more difficult and stressful. Caregivers may take a break and recharge with Alzheimer's care from Visiting Angels, allowing their loved one to receive expert home care while they get some much-needed rest.

Coordinated Treatment Programs

Every senior's requirements are different, and we at Visiting Angels in Wichita know that. That's why we tailor our Alzheimer's care programs to each individual's tastes and requirements. Senior care plans are developed in close collaboration with families to meet the physical, emotional, social, and behavioral requirements of individuals with Alzheimer's disease.

Tailored Education for Care Professionals

To guarantee that our caregivers are well-equipped to provide high-quality Alzheimer's care, they undergo specialized training under the guidance of the Alzheimer's Association. Acquiring knowledge about the condition, regulating behaviors, and advocating for a secure and pleasant environment for elderly individuals with Alzheimer's are all part of this.

Assisting with Everyday Tasks

Help with daily tasks, including cooking, light cleaning, bathing, grooming, using the restroom, medication reminders, and more, is available from our caregivers. As a result, this may make it easier for elderly people with Alzheimer's to remain in their own homes while still enjoying independence.

Help for People with Alzheimer's Symptoms

Our caregivers have received extensive training to assist patients with Alzheimer's disease in coping with the disease's symptoms, which might include restlessness, disorientation, wandering, and sundowning. Additionally, they may enhance the quality of life for seniors by providing companionship and engaging them in meaningful activities.

Many Choices for Your Home Care Plan

Since Alzheimer's is a degenerative condition, we are mindful of the fact that a senior's care requirements may evolve over time. Because of this, our home care plans are adaptable and may be changed to meet the needs of our elders for an unlimited period of time. With this, they may remain in their own home as they age in place safely. The individualized, one-on-one senior care that loved ones with Alzheimer's need to age in place securely and comfortably may be provided by Alzheimer's care from Visiting Angels in Wichita, which is a great alternative for families. Supporting elders with Alzheimer's and ensuring they retain independence for as long as feasible is our caregivers' first priority.
