Dementia refers to conditions that cause severe memory loss so severe that it impacts a person’s ability to carry out daily activities. There are many kinds of dementia. Alzheimer’s, which affects one in nine Americans age 65 and older is believed to be the most common type.

A diagnosis of dementia can be earth-shattering to the individual and the family, and we at Visiting Angels recognize that not many have prior experience in facing this challenge.

Specializing in In-Home Alzheimer's Care for Your Loved One

Visiting Angels Gilroy specializes in providing care for individuals with any form of dementia, at any stage of dementia (beginning to advanced stages). Our team is highly competent to provide dementia care and we are able to guide and provide knowledge to the family to ease this journey and help your family cope with the challenges you may face as well.

Although our business is to provide in-home senior care, we care enough to ensure your loved one is safe and is receiving the type of care they need through our in-home Alzheimer's care. With that compassion to guide us, we will help you decide if it is safer and more appropriate to move your loved one into a facility.

Please note: Sometimes, your loved one may need one-on-one care, or supplemental care, when they are in a facility. They may want someone to take care of tasks that the facility cannot attend to as soon as they would like the facility to, or they may want to get out of the facility to do an errand or just get out of the area, or visit someone, etc. Sometimes the facility thinks the client needs more attention than they can provide and encourages the family to get supplemental care. We have many clients in facilities and can provide the one-on-one assistance a client may need.

Alzheimer's Home Care You Can Trust

Our caregivers go through the Dementia Care Specialist Certification training designed by the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, and they are required to participate in our Continuous Education Program. They are also guided and coached (if necessary) by the owner who focused on dementia research when she worked on her Master’s in Psychology, has worked with clients with dementia for nearly two decades and has made it her mission to become a resident expert in Alzheimer's home care.

Formulating a care plan for someone dealing with dementia is not the same as formulating a plan for someone dealing with physical/medical issues. Competitors treat all dementias the same. Our knowledge of this challenge will immediately be evident as we help you gather the information necessary to put together a care plan that is effective, and more appropriate for the type of dementia and the stage of dementia you are dealing with.
