When chronic illness or injury strikes, it often calls for all-hands-on-deck from the family. It's especially true when it comes to memory loss disorders like Alzheimer's or dementia. Due to the symptoms, which can set-in rapidly and change unexpectedly, it can be extremely difficult for family caregivers to keep up. That's where our care from Visiting Angels^® Northeast Mississippi can help. Our compassionate dementia care providers in Tupelo can deliver strong shoulders to lean on and gentle hands to guide seniors and their families through the overwhelming world of dementia as smoothly as possible. We offer services ranging from meal preparation and medication reminders, but above all, we help dementia sufferers to cope with their disease with dignity. 

How Dementia Care Helps Tupelo Seniors

Without the help of a professional caregiver with the right knowledge and skills, seniors with dementia or Alzheimer's can be left open to all kinds of dangers and strains. Not only that, without adequate support, family caregivers can become run down as well, leaving themselves open to illness or exhaustion, and unable to provide care for their loved one. Having a professional caregiver from Visiting Angels Northeast Mississippi can help to reduce those risks for Tupelo families or eliminate them altogether by providing skilled dementia care assistance whenever you need it most.

Some of the risks that dementia care from our caregivers in Tupelo can help to prevent include:

• Missed medications or appointments
• Appliances left on or water running
• In-home accidents like slips and falls
• Injuries related to emotional fits or outbursts
• Loneliness, social isolation, and low self esteem
• Poor nutrition and dehydration
• Burnout of family caregivers
