A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia necessitates planning for the future and a critical look at care options. If your loved one is facing a future with Alzheimer’s or dementia, the list of questions facing you can seem endless. How long can your loved one remain in their home? Will they need to move to an assisted care center? How will managing their care affect your existing commitments and responsibilities? At Visiting Angels^® Jacksonville, we offer Alzheimer's care that takes place directly in your loved one's home.

Coordinating Alzheimer's Care for Your Loved One in Jacksonville

Visiting Angels Jacksonville can provide guidance and help you find answers to all your questions. Our Alzheimer's care is popular with families seeking assistance with elder care. Working closely with your family, we will develop an Alzheimer's care plan for your loved one.

Seeking Alzheimer's care after an initial diagnosis is one of the best ways to ensure your family member is comfortable with the care they are receiving. Working to establish a relationship early on allows your home care provider to develop a complete understanding of the services needed while providing the time for your loved one to become comfortable with their care provider.

We have complimentary consultations available to help you get started with our services. During this introductory meeting, we will discuss your loved one's needs and preferences for in-home care. By gathering detailed information about your loved one and their condition, we will be able to help you coordinate the care they need. This is also a great time to address any questions or concerns you have.
