There is nowhere safer or more familiar than home. That's why, when a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, you want to do everything you can to keep them there. However, the demands of their care can sometimes seem too great for it to be practical or safe. Visiting Angels^® Bensalem offers dementia care which can make it possible. Our caregivers in Bensalem provide one-on-one care which can both safeguard your loved one's physical safety while at home and bring peace of mind to faraway family members. 

How Dementia Care Helps Bensalem Area Seniors 

When dementia strikes, a senior's quality of life depends on how much support they have. In-home dementia care from Visiting Angels Bensalem can help to preserve both their dignity and their independence. Not only does it save them from the stress and shame of having to leave their home, it gives you and your family someone you can rely on to provide skilled and compassionate relief.

A few of the ways Visiting Angels Bensalem can help include: 

• An extra pair of eyes to prevent fall injuries at home
• Someone to keep track of their medications and appointments
• Compassionate assistance with personal tasks related to grooming
• Assistance with preparing nutritious meals and getting supplies
• Help with light housework to keep their space tidy and safe
• Coordination assistance with events like moving into or returning home from the hospital

Our caregivers are also available to provide care that goes beyond the surface. Seniors with dementia may need physical assistance, but they can also benefit from mental and emotional support. We are well-versed in dealing with the frustration, confusion, and anger that come with dementia. Our caregivers use creative techniques, like playing music, getting outdoors, and reinstating familiarity for seniors during these moments. We are also knowledgeable about working with seniors who may be uncooperative or combative.
