Family caregivers who care for a loved one who's dealing with dementia know that it can be an incredibly difficult journey both physically and emotionally as we watch a loved one stumble over the hurdles of memory loss and cognitive decline. That's where Visiting Angels dementia care and respite care services come in. We are always able and willing to offer a helping hand and give you the break you deserve.

About Our Dementia Care Services

Visiting Angels Chattanooga specializes in dementia care and serves families in Chattanooga, Signal Mountain, and surrounding areas. Our goal is to provide senior dementia support to ensure that your loved one can continue to live safely and comfortably in their own home. Our dementia caregivers understand the ups and downs that those living with memory-related problems often face and can provide compassionate senior home care that respects your loved one's dignity. You can count on us for help with daily tasks allowing your loved one to “age in place” in the comfort of their home rather than moving to an assisted living facility.

Challenges of Dementia

Dementia can affect more than just memory loss; it can alter behavior, communication, and the ability to perform even the most basic tasks of everyday living. Unfortunately, the one-size-fits-all approach of many memory care facilities often does not provide the standard of care that most people wish for their loved ones.

“I've tried other companies to care for my mom but Visiting Angels has the best customer service as they are always available and their caregivers are far more caring, knowledgeable, and reliable. I couldn't ask for a better group of people to care for my mom and I highly recommend them to anyone I find interested in home care.” ~ GJ

Comprehensive Dementia Care Services

The caregivers at Visiting Angels are trained to deal with various stages of dementia, each with its own set of unique challenges. In addition to our personal care services that offer dignified help with toileting, bathing, grooming, and dressing, we also offer:

• Wandering Prevention
• Medication Management
• Behavioral Support
• Sensory Stimulation
• Nutritional Support
• Social Engagement

Specialized Training and Support

To enhance our expertise, we have collaborated with top dementia specialists to develop dementia certification programs so that our caregivers are fully aware of the diverse challenges involved in dementia care, including the symptoms and risks associated with this disease. All of our caregivers participate in our dementia training program, and some also hold certification for advanced dementia care.
