When an aging loved one’s health starts to change, families are often first in line to help with tasks around the home or daily needs. An Alzheimer’s diagnosis often scares families into thinking that a senior loved one cannot remain at home or that their loved one will be forced to change their lifestyle unwillingly. Alzheimer’s could impact daily habits, socializing, and even personality traits, but it does not mean that your loved one cannot stay safe, healthy, and comfortable in their own home.

Visiting Angels of Lancaster offers essential in-home Alzheimer’s services that can help your loved one stay safe, healthy, and comfortable.

Visiting Angels Offers Quality Alzheimer’s Services to Seniors with Alzheimer's Disease Who Want to Maintain Their Independence in Lancaster, Lititz, Bainbridge, Elizabethtown, and Nearby Cities

With in-home Alzheimer’s services, your loved one will have a companion who understands the science behind their needs as well as the need for respect, kindness, and dignity.

For instance, your personal home care assistant can help with the following:

• Establish a daily routine (which is extremely important for those struggling with Alzheimer's) 
• Meal planning and preparation
• Medication and hydration reminders
• Transportation to appointments
• Wandering prevention
• On-going monitoring
• Companionship
• Assistance with personal tasks like bathing, dressing, and grooming

For those with Alzheimer’s Disease, these tasks can provide a feeling of comfort or clarity.

While there is no cure for Alzheimer’s or dementia, the help of an Angel means your loved one can still enjoy a good quality of life throughout their golden years. Receiving dedicated in-home Alzheimer’s services means you will also have a resource who can notice changes in your loved one’s physical, mental, emotional, and social health. Because Alzheimer’s is degenerative, clients often need to change their care plans over time to make sure their evolving needs are met. Our senior care plans can be adapted to any changing needs.

The Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease

You might have started to notice warning signs of Alzheimer’s; it is important that if you notice these signs, you report them to your loved one’s doctor. Your loved one’s medical care team can give you more information about your loved one’s unique health needs and even make recommendations for daily care that can help.

Early signs of Alzheimer’s, dementia, and other cognitive diseases include:

• An increase in anxiety, changes in temperament, or mood swings
• Changes in your loved one’s ability to remember recent events
• Inability to keep a schedule or complete a task
• Trouble with speech or trouble articulating complex ideas
• Decreased interest in socializing or spending time with people
