Dementia care from Visiting Angels^® Charleston can make it so that your relative can continue living in their home longer than you may have thought possible. In the hands of our incredible caregivers, the non-medical care services we provide help to take the pressure off family caregivers by giving their loved one the support they need, right at home. 

Charleston's Dementia Care Experts

For sufferers of Alzheimer's and dementia, even simple or familiar tasks can become seemingly insurmountable obstacles when they're alone at home. The dementia care services we offer at Visiting Angels Charleston were developed with help from the Alzheimer's Foundation of America and designed to support seniors at all stages of the disease. Our caregivers can help them to keep track of what's important by reminding them about important dates, bills to pay, or prescriptions to fill. They can also provide dignified, hands-on assistance with whatever tasks your loved one has difficulty with, from fastening buttons to getting in and out of bed. 

Our dementia care services at Visiting Angels Charleston can also include:

• Providing medication reminders
• Guiding them from bed to chair
• Transporting them to appointments
• Running errands and shopping
• Offering emotional support
• Relieving family caregivers of their duties
