Comprehensive Care In-Home for Alzheimer's Patients

We understand that each patient and family is unique and needs may change at different stages in the Alzheimer's journey. That's why we create personalized care plans with the flexibility to adjust the level and types of care, as well as the schedule.

Professionals in the memory care community tend to agree that keeping those with cognitive decline, especially Alzheimer's, at home offers a better quality of life as it allows them to remain in a familiar setting and maintain their routines. In-home care also gives them dedicated one-on-one attention that they might not receive in a larger assisted living facility or senior living community.

Is Dementia the Same as Alzheimer's?

The short answer is no; dementia is a term that refers to a number of brain conditions, including memory loss, with a variety of underlying causes. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive degenerative brain disorder with several symptoms, such as memory loss and cognitive decline. So Alzheimer's is a form of dementia.

Alzheimer's disease involves more than just memory and cognitive decline; it also causes behavioral changes as the brain's functions are affected over time. This is why getting the right diagnosis and, more importantly, the right support for both the individual and their family members is so important.

Our Visiting Angels memory care staff offers more than just care programs for the condition. We take a holistic approach, focusing on the overall well-being of your loved one. We help them maintain their independent living and spend more quality time with family.
