It may be heartbreaking to hear that a loved one has been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer's. Their well-being and any symptoms may be top of mind. With the help of home care services from our senior care agency, your loved one may be able to stay in their own home longer. No matter what, Visiting Angels of Northbrook is here to support you.

Some families choose to place their loved one in an assisted living or senior living facility, but selecting in-home memory care allows your loved one to remain in their comfortable and familiar environment, giving you peace of mind. In-home memory care, versus a memory care facility or senior living community, offers familiarity which boosts their overall wellness.

Comprehensive Care In-Home for Alzheimer's Patients

Visiting Angels provides individualized, personal care plan options for your loved one dealing with Alzheimer's disease. You and your family can decide on the level of care needed based on the diagnosis and other family caregivers.

Getting care for your loved one at home allows them to continue living in their comfortable environment and maintain their quality of life as much as possible. While there are assisted living and memory care facilities available, your loved one will not receive one-on-one care.

Is Dementia Care the Same as Alzheimer's?

Dementia is an umbrella term that encapsulates a wide array of brain disorders that include memory loss. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. While both are elements of dementia, Alzheimer's is a specific disease in and of itself that also includes behavioral changes and other cognitive issues. It's important to remember they are different, and not all those who show symptoms of dementia have Alzheimer's.

Healthcare professionals within the memory care community not only provide care the individuals need for their condition, but they also strive to create opportunities for independent living. While many families opt for nursing homes for the older adults in their lives, in-home options can be better for your loved one's well being.
