If you have a loved one who has recently been diagnosed with dementia, you may be facing difficult decisions regarding his or her care. For many elderly individuals, a dementia diagnosis means increasing reliance on family and friends to have their care needs met. However, it can be difficult and even overwhelming to provide quality dementia care without the help of a professional. With our dementia care program at Visiting Angels^® Hilton Head, your loved one in Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, or the surrounding communities can receive the dementia care that he or she requires in the comfort of his or her own home.

Our Dementia Care Providers in Hilton Head

Unlike other forms of senior care that focus on providing socialization or a helping hand around the house, dementia care deals with the specific challenges and risks that people with dementia face. In order to address these specific care requirements, we’ve partnered with leading dementia experts to create a series of dementia care certification programs. All our care providers at Visiting Angels Hilton Head can participate in this basic dementia training, while some have also gone on to be certified in advanced dementia care protocol.
