When your mom or dad is diagnosed with dementia it affects nearly every area of their lives. Because dementia is a disease that is both progressive and unpredictable, there is much to consider in the way of care. As part of your loved one's care team, consider non-medical support from an experienced agency such as Visiting Angels^® Eastern Shore MD. We provide dementia care to seniors throughout Salisbury, Ocean City, Berlin, Snow Hill, Pocomoke, Fruitland, Princess Anne, Ocean Pines, and the surrounding communities. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for your loved one while keeping them safe and comfortable at home. 

When families discover a loved one has dementia, they often assume the only way to keep them safe is to move them to a residential care facility. However, dementia care is available at home in Salisbury from Visiting Angels Eastern Shore. There are many benefits to receiving one-on-one care in the comfort of your own home. For example, home care is geared towards the changing needs of your loved one rather than those of a group. Additionally, our care allows your loved one to keep their comforting routines and maintain control over their schedule.
