Dementia Care in Redmond

How To Help When They Say They Want To Go Home

At Visiting Angels^® Eastside, our in-home dementia care helps Redmond area seniors avoid the assisted living facility for as long as possible. Retaining an ongoing home life is very beneficial for those with this disorder. It helps them retain familiarity and comfort in the face of new challenges. The goal of our service is to help you and your family give your senior loved one the best quality of life going forward. 

One of the many obstacles that dementia brings is a reduced ability to communicate. This causes a common occurrence where seniors use the phrase 'I want to go home,' as a way to express various feelings of discomfort. When hearing this phrase, many family members assume that it results from simple confusion. However, this is not always the case, and it's important to avoid arguing with them and trying to explain that they are already at home. 

We encourage you to stay calm and reassure your loved one they are safe. Redirect their attention with a hug, some nice music, or any other way to pleasantly distract them. Remember these are stressful moments for them, so the best way to help is by providing a comforting presence and listening to their needs.
