Not all seniors with dementia feel comfortable leaving home to move into a residential care facility. This is very understandable, as living at home can provide seniors with dementia an added boost of comfort, familiarity, and stability. However, it’s important to make sure that your loved one is still receiving the specialized dementia care services they need while residing at home. At Visiting Angels of Destin, we provide seniors with individualized dementia care services in their own homes in Destin, Miramar Beach, Fort Walton, Niceville, and Santa Rosa Beach. Our services give seniors the help they need to continue residing in their beloved homes for as long as possible.

Visiting Angels Dementia Care Destin

We can offer your loved one many different types of non-medical home care services to maintain their physical, emotional, and social well-being. Our standard home care services include things like assistance with bathing and personal hygiene, help walking around the home, wandering deterrence, medication reminders, transportation, meal preparation, and basic housekeeping. If your loved one is dealing with other chronic health issues in addition to dementia, we also offer other specialty care services that can be added to their care plan. We provide palliative care services for seniors in need of relief from chronic pain or discomfort, our Safe and Steady fall prevention program to reduce the chances of a fall in the home, Ready-Set-Go home care to prevent hospital readmissions and end-of-life care for seniors with limited life expectancy. These programs can work in conjunction with each other to meet all of your elderly loved one’s individual needs. 

Emotional and Social Care for Seniors

One common symptom of dementia is an increase in stress and emotional distress. These things can be compounded by isolation and social withdrawal. If these are issues your loved one faces, our Visiting Angels elderly companion care options can provide them with much-needed social interaction. One of our caregivers can come to your loved one’s home and offer them companionship, meaningful conversation, a friend to enjoy hobbies with, and someone to take them to local events and attractions. 

Dementia Care Tailored To Your Loved One

At Visiting Angels of Destin, we design all of our care plans individually. We will work with you and your loved one to craft a dementia care plan that addresses your loved one’s unique set of needs and wants. We can even alter your loved one’s care plan as often as necessary to make sure that care stays relevant to your loved one’s current needs. 
Our plans are also flexible in regards to scheduling. We know that many seniors with dementia require more frequent care. This is not an issue when you choose Visiting Angels! We can send a caregiver to your loved one whenever needed. We even offer overnight and 24/7 care for seniors in need of round-the-clock attention.
