Coping with a relative's Alzheimer's or dementia is one of the most difficult tasks a family may ever have to face. That's because it brings with it all kinds of symptoms and situations that are completely different from the natural stages of aging, and can require specific training to manage successfully. Fortunately, help isn't far from home. Visiting Angels^® Elkhart offers exceptional, compassionate dementia care services to families in Elkhart, Kosciusko, and Marshall counties, as well as the neighboring areas. Hand-in-hand with their companion caregivers, sufferers from memory loss can continue to live at home without their families having to worry for their well-being. 

Skilled Dementia Care in Elkhart, Kosciusko, and Marshall Counties

At Visiting Angels Elkhart, there are two core things that make our dementia care strategies especially effective. First, because they were developed hand-in-hand with the memory loss experts at the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. Second, because they keep compassion at their core. Providing assistance that is dignified to our clients is a key part of what we do. By approaching every situation thoughtfully and sensitively, we can help to maintain a safe and stable environment in the home for seniors with memory loss. We can also help their families to manage their loved one's symptoms and prepare for any situations which may arise as a result. 

A skilled dementia care provider from Visiting Angels Elkhart can help you to plan for:

• The next stage of Alzheimer's or dementia as it advances
• Managing emotional episodes, outbursts, and anxiety
• Traveling locally or internationally with your loved one
• Having them admitted to, or released from the hospital
• Keeping them on track with medications and therapies
• Moving your loved one between residences

Dementia Care Providers That Elkhart, Kosciusko, and Marshall Counties Can Count On

A diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer's can bring with it an avalanche of emotions for both a senior and their family. Particularly for the afflicted elder, it's easy for loneliness, isolation and despair to take hold. That's why having the kind and calming presence of a companion caregiver can truly make a difference. Although we offer our caregivers at Visiting Angels Elkhart advanced dementia care training, at the end of the day it's truly their open hearts that help them to connect to the seniors they serve in Elkhart. Together, we can improve the lives of your loved one with truly exceptional care.
