When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, you may struggle to understand how you’re going to tend to their intensifying needs. With in-home dementia care services delivered by a professional caregiver in Chicago, you can ensure that your loved one is able to remain at home in familiar surroundings. At Visiting Angels^® Chicago Lakeshore, we’re proud to give families a care solution that doesn’t require a traumatic move to a memory care center or nursing home.

Why Choose At Home Dementia Care in Chicago?

Seniors who have been diagnosed with dementia often turn to their close friends and family members for care and support. However, during the later stages of dementia, it’s often impossible for these family caregivers to provide the level of care needed to help the senior maintain their quality of life. We can help you avoid caregiver burnout while maximizing your loved one’s quality of life as they cope with the challenges of dementia.

Our home care providers offer compassionate assistance that is specifically tailored to assist with the unique symptoms and risks associated with dementia. In order to ensure that our caregivers are well-equipped to handle these difficulties, we have partnered with leading dementia specialists in the development of a series of dementia care certification programs. All of our care professionals at Visiting Angels Chicago Lakeshore have access to this training.

How Aging in Place Helps Those with Dementia

Dementia attacks a person's cognitive abilities, so moments of extreme stress and confusion are unfortunately quite common. In these tense moments, the familiarity and comfort of home can be incredibly valuable. As such, we believe that seniors with dementia are much better off living in their own homes. We believe that living at home with our one-on-one support is a better option than living in a care facility, and we are proud to help your family make this goal a reality. 

Our caregivers provide a wide range of flexible assistance to reduce fall hazards and improve their quality of life, allowing your loved one to continue aging in place as they cope with their disorder. Living at home means enjoying levels of peace, privacy, and dignity that a care facility simply cannot match. 

Trusted Caregivers

Providing care inside the homes of local seniors is a very serious responsibility. With this in mind, we work hard to carefully vet all of our caregivers before they join our team. Our goal is to find people who are kind, honest, and loving. We strive to only hire exceptional people who are dedicated to helping others and possess the right temperament for senior care. 

With our strict hiring process and commitment to service, you can count on our in-home dementia care to keep your loved one in the Chicagoland area safe, happy, and comfortable. 

A Crucial Respite for Your Family

In situations like yours, caregiver burnout is a real concern. Providing care for an elderly relative is never easy, and when you don't have anyone to share the responsibilities with, you can quickly burn yourself out. By delegating their care to one of our loving professionals, you can reduce your own stress, avoid caregiver burnout, and create a healthier dynamic for all involved. 

Also, by relieving yourself of some or all of your care duties, you can create more free time to have fun and create positive memories with your loved one. With our help, you'll no longer need to make such a huge personal sacrifice in order to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable. You can always trust our amazing caregivers to uphold your standard of care and treat your loved one with kindness, empathy, and respect.
