Providing help for someone with dementia is a tough task, requiring patience, knowledge, and compassion. Instead of taking it all on by yourself, Visiting Angels^® Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula is here to offer help. We provide professional dementia care in Gloucester and neighboring communities. Our caregivers bring warmth, respect, positivity, and compassion to the role, delivering support and companionship to help both you and your loved one deal with this challenging diagnosis. 

Why Choose In-Home Dementia Care in Gloucester

Living at home has many benefits, especially for those with dementia. Moving someone with dementia changes environments and routines, which can trigger more confusion, which is stressful for them. Staying at home, particularly a home lived in for a long time, keeps them among familiar items and spaces. This gives them something to cling to when parts of the brain are affected, causing more confusion as time goes on. With a disorder that attacks the memory, staying in a comfortable and familiar setting can make a huge difference. 

We give your loved one the support they need at home with care for creating more independence. We want to help your mom, dad, or spouse feel more connected to friends and family. We offer customized support that fills in the gaps and helps them with all the daily tasks they might start to struggle with. From bathing and grooming, to medication reminders and light housework, we will do whatever it takes to maintain a safe and comfortable home life. 

How Aging in Place Helps Those with Dementia

Dementia can cause extreme stress and confusion. For seniors with this affliction, remaining at home can be a critical benefit. Instead of suffering through all of this in a new and unfamiliar environment, they can enjoy the peace, privacy, and familiarity of home. Our goal is to provide the flexible assistance your loved one needs if they prefer to avoid a move to a care facility and continue aging in place. 

By helping your loved one enjoy a consistent and convenient home life, we hope to reduce feelings of stress, loneliness, and confusion. Our dementia care can be set up to improve home safety, increase their convenience, and make sure they keep up with medication schedules and other memory-related issues. 

Trusted Caregivers

For those a bit apprehensive about bringing in outside senior care support, we understand. This is a big step to take, and the person you invite into your home will be providing care for your loved one in their most vulnerable moments. 

Hiring an agency is the best route to protect your family's financial resources. If you pay a caregiver directly, you become the employer and are responsible for any injury that caregiver has on the job. With an agency, we provide workers compensation insurance and liability insurance to protect you and your family. 

Background checks are not enough. Licensing checks are not enough. Agency care helps avoid you being an employer that would subject you to employment law. Rest assured, we take every step to ensure that our caregivers are people you can trust with our background checks, continued training, oversight with comment logs and drop in visits. 

With one of our amazing care providers on the job, and agency added insurances, you can count on attentive and respectful support for your loved one at all times. 

A Crucial Respite for Your Family

By securing the assistance of one of our trustworthy home care providers, you can create a much healthier dynamic for your family. In these situations, loved ones tend to put too much pressure on themselves, and this often leads to family caregiver burnout and more complicated relationships. 

With our help, you'll still be able to remain involved, but without all the stress and pressure. You can depend on our caregivers to uphold the same level of warm, loving, and compassionate care you'd provide yourself. 

With the ability to take time away without adding stress or guilt to your life, you can take great care of your loved one without making huge personal sacrifices. Visiting Angels Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula is proud to help local families with short term respite care or permanent care  so they can effectively manage this difficult and stressful situation.
