When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, most family caregivers choose to care for Mom or Dad by themselves for as long as they can. Unfortunately, as dementia progresses, primary caregivers may find themselves overwhelmed, overburdened, and unprepared to tackle late-stage dementia needs without a support system in place.

If you find yourself in a position where your loved one’s shifting and constantly growing care needs exceed your ability to care for them, Visiting Angels Carlisle adequately is here to help. We can provide specialized dementia care services tailored to address your parent’s unique symptoms and needs, allowing them to continue living safely in their home for longer. At the same time, we can offer your family some much-needed respite and peace of mind.

Call our home office in Carlisle, PA, at 717-241-5900, and let us know how we can provide dementia care for your aging loved one.
