Seniors struggling with Alzheimer’s disease, especially those in the late stages of the illness, often require high levels of care and support to maintain their well-being and safety.

Most families prefer to care for their own during the early and mid stages of Alzheimer’s. However, as the condition progresses, it becomes increasingly complex, even overwhelming, to care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s without some professional support. This is usually the time when families start considering options for Alzheimer's care for their aging parents or relatives.

One option is to place Mom or Dad in an assisted living facility, but those with cognitive decline may not fare well with significant changes. To make matters worse, relocation to facilitated care can cause much discomfort and trigger the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, quickening its progression.

On the other hand, working with a reliable home care agency that can provide specialized memory care services at home, like Visiting Angels Carlisle, is a far better solution. Your loved one can receive expert care uniquely tailored to their needs and remain in the familiar settings of their home, catered by our trained professionals.
