When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia or another condition that impacts their memory and cognition, they will need additional support in order to stay safe, happy and comfortable. A common misconception is that seniors with dementia should move into a nursing home or an assisted living facility to ensure they receive professional care and support. In reality, living at home in familiar surroundings is actually a better option.

With in-home memory care from Visiting Angels East Bernard, your loved one can maintain their independence while getting the care they need. We’ve worked with many seniors throughout East Bernard, Wharton, El Campo, Katy, Fulshear, Victoria and surrounding communities in Southeast Central Texas to create personalized care plans to help them manage their symptoms.

How In-Home Memory Care Can Help Seniors in East Bernard, TX and Surrounding Communities

Dementia is a disease that causes severe changes in the brain. Most forms of dementia, like Alzheimer’s disease and Lewy body dementia, can cause memory loss and confusion. Seniors with dementia also have difficulty concentrating, learning new things and even speaking. Seniors with certain types of dementia can also experience frightening hallucinations and disorientation. Some symptoms will also manifest themselves physically; those with advanced Parkinson’s disease will tremble or have trouble with walking and many dementia patients have trouble with wandering. Overall, dementia symptoms can cause seniors to feel depressed, confused and agitated, which is why it’s so important for them to get specialized memory care.
