Our Mission: To Improve the Quality of Life for Those Suffering with Alzheimer’s Disease and Their Families

Advanced age can bring with it a whole host of new challenges, even for the most healthy and independent senior. A diagnosis of Alzheimer's or dementia makes matters even more complicated and can pose a great threat to that independence. For many seniors, there is no bigger threat to their independence than the possibility of being forced to leave their beloved family home. Fortunately, Visiting Angels^® Fort Wayne can offer another option. Our Alzheimer's caregivers bring care and comfort, along with skilled assistance, into the homes of local seniors. Our Alzheimer's care enables seniors in Fort Wayne, Huntington, Columbia City, IN, and the surrounding areas to safely remain at home, despite the obstacles associated with this disease. 

How Alzheimer's Care Helps Fort Wayne Area Seniors

Alzheimer's is a complicated disease, and a diagnosis can be frightening for not only the afflicted senior, but their family as well. As an Alzheimer's care provider, Visiting Angels Fort Wayne has partnered with the memory loss experts at the Alzheimer's Foundation of America. Together, we have developed training and methods that allow us to provide exceptional senior care for families in the area. 

A few ways Visiting Angels Fort Wayne helps families with Alzheimer's care include: 

• Monitoring seniors to ensure that no preventable accidents occur
• Reminding seniors to take medications as prescribed
• Assistance dealing with challenging behaviors 
• Soothing seniors during highly emotional times or agitation
• Supporting family caregivers who need a time of respite to rest and recover themselves
• Helping to prepare nutritious meals and keep the house tidy 

Because Alzheimer's affects seniors in unique ways, our care will be customized to meet your loved one where they are. We will carefully detail your loved one's exact needs during the initial consultation. This information allows us to create a care plan that includes the services your loved one needs. You can rest assured your loved one is receiving the care they need from our team.

We also offer flexible scheduling to ensure your loved one receives care when it is needed. Our caregivers have 24/7 availability, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. We have the ability to create both full-time and part-time care schedules, depending on the level of care your loved one needs. We can also work along with family caregivers to offer both support and respite.

Alzheimer's is also a progressive disease, which means your loved one's needs are likely to change. Our care is easily altered to meet these changing needs. We constantly monitor our clients to look for any changes in health and well-being that may indicate a change in care. You can also make changes to your loved one's care plan and schedule of visits with a simple phone call to our team.
