Tips for Caring for Your Loved One

At Visiting Angels^® Fayetteville, our dementia care is available throughout McDonough and surrounding areas. Our support is the ideal way to give your loved one the help they need without forcing them to move to an assisted care facility. As part of our effort to provide them with a better quality of life, here are some helpful tips for better managing the situation. 

As with most disorders, early diagnosis is crucial. Whether it's getting them the medication they need or taking early action to set up a system of support, it's vital to be proactive. 

A diagnosis of dementia can be difficult to cope with. When it comes to providing support, you want to be tactical and not too pushy. By gradually increasing your involvement in their life, rather than simply taking over every detail right away, you can allow them more independence and give them a chance to acclimate to their new situation. 

There is a lot of research out there detailing how physical activity can improve brain health, so keeping your loved one active is key. You also want to take advantage of any type of therapy that's available to you. Massage, aromatherapy, acupuncture, nutrition, and simply enjoying some good music, are all great tools for minimizing the effects of their disorder. 

The most important thing you can do for your loved one is to keep them in their own home. The move to assisted living is full of sadness and confusion, which will only serve to make their condition worse. Keeping them safely in their own residence provides them with comfort, security, and all the benefits of a familiar setting. With our in home dementia care, we are proud to work with local families and make this goal a reality.
