When a loved one is diagnosed with dementia, they depend on their family, friends, and familiar surroundings. Shortly after being diagnosed, your loved one will rely on you and stay put in their home more and more. You may not be prepared to provide the level of care your loved one now needs. Many families in this situation usually turn to nursing homes or memory care centers. However, another option is becoming increasingly popular: dementia home care.

Since 2008, Visiting Angels McKinney has provided specialized in-home dementia care to support seniors with early-stage, mid-stage, or late-stage dementia in McKinney, Allen, Frisco, Prosper, and throughout Collin County, TX. Our experienced and compassionate caregivers will provide you and your loved one with necessary and comforting support and assistance right in their own home.

That's why our caregivers offer the compassionate, specialized assistance you and your loved one needs while coping with dementia. Your loved one can continue to live in the comfort of their own home, receiving quality in-home assistance designed to maximize the quality of life.

For over a decade, we've partnered with leading dementia specialists to develop a series of certification programs to best provide care and support for seniors living with different types of dementia. Basic training is available to all Visiting Angels caregivers, and many of our caregivers are certified in advanced care protocols.

Our dementia home care program offers comprehensive support and assistance that your loved one needs in order to age in place in safety and comfort. Caregivers assist with personal tasks, provide comforting companionship and offer helpful reminders when needed.

Our dementia home care services can include help with activities that include:

• Wandering prevention
• Walking assistance

• Dignified bathing, dressing and grooming care
• Medication reminders and monitoring
• Preparation of healthy meals
• Light housekeeping chores
• Transportation to appointments and therapies

Our dementia care services are offered through Life Care Navigation™, a collection of specialized senior care options. Life Care Navigation also includes a dedicated Alzheimer’s care program for those with Alzheimer’s disease, which accounts for 60 to 80 percent of all cases of dementia.

Unlike other caregiving agencies in Collin County, Visiting Angels utilizes a personalized, one-on-one approach to caring for seniors. That means when you come to us for dementia home care services, you can rest assured that your loved one will get the care they truly need that works with their schedule. In addition, our care plans can be adjusted at any time just by contacting our office and working with our care coordinators. This can be highly beneficial for seniors living with dementia, as the condition is often progressive and usually results in seniors needing a greater level of care over time.

With Visiting Angels McKinney as your partner in memory care, you'll have peace of mind knowing your loved one is receiving the care and support they truly need to continue aging in place despite a dementia diagnosis.
