How Dementia Care Helps

One of the hardest parts of a dementia diagnosis is knowing that your once vibrant loved one is going to be facing a host of challenges in the future. A big concern families have is how long their loved ones will be able to continue living independently at home.

Aging in place is important to all seniors, but it can be especially important to those with dementia. A move to a loved one's home or to an assisted living or memory care facility can be especially traumatic for a senior with dementia. At home dementia care from Visiting Angels Eau Claire provides the support and companionship your loved one needs to be able to live safely at home.

With our dementia care support at Visiting Angels Eau Claire, your loved one will have help with a wide range of activities. From support with activities of daily living to wandering prevention and behavioral support, we are here to help. Our dementia care services in Eau Claire include assistance with:

• Help planning and preparing meals
• Providing medication reminders

• Help around the house including laundry, doing dishes, and light housekeeping
• Transportation to appointments and activities

At Visiting Angels Eau Claire, we understand that one of the most difficult aspects of dementia is that things can change quickly from one day or moment to the next.
