Visiting Angels Alzheimer’s Care Providing Peace of Mind

Providing exceptional and highly specialized in-home Alzheimer’s care means ensuring family members of loved ones have the peace of mind offered by our Winchester, VA caregivers. We believe our clients and their family members are the best at describing their experience with Visiting Angels; here’s what Julie shared recently:

Client Testimonial: Visiting Angels Alzheimer's Care

April and her team have been so good to my mom and I over the past year. They are caring and trustworthy people, and we don't know what we would have done without them. As mom started needing more help, they were flexible to meet our needs. We appreciate their dedication to mom, and they have helped her live at home in a safe and comfortable environment. They are amazing and kind, and we highly recommend them to anyone in need of assistance.”

About Our Alzheimer’s Home Care

Cognitive decline in a loved one's golden years can manifest in various ways. Patients explicitly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s typically go through stages. It may begin with minor memory-related issues barely noticeable by others. As the disease progresses, it may severely impair a Winchester senior’s ability to complete daily activities like taking medications, eating and preparing meals, or completing physical tasks around home.  

Because of the range of symptoms and intensity, a “one size fits all” approach to Alzheimer’s home care services can’t be as effective as a customized care plan that takes into consideration a senior’s personality, specific needs, and lifestyle as well as how to best keep them safe and secure in a familiar space. A commitment to providing individualized care plans is a defining aspect of Visiting Angels Shenandoah Valley's range of Alzheimer's and dementia care services.    

Joyful Companionship with In-Home Alzheimer’s Care

Education for family members plays a vital role when creating an effective care strategy for seniors experiencing cognitive decline in Winchester. Trust can be a big challenge for your loved one in these settings. The Visiting Angels comprehensive consultation process ensures we match seniors to a caregiver with personality traits, educational backgrounds, and skill sets that resonate with each individual to maximize their quality of life while ensuring their needs are met. 

Our team wants aging Winchester individuals in our care to thrive! 

Complementary Care Services

Visiting Angels is renowned for our focus on personal care for seniors in the Winchester area. But family members of those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s also share in the tireless efforts to ensure the comfort and safety of their loved ones. 

Respite care offers dedicated family members a break and an opportunity to care for themselves while maintaining peace of mind by knowing their loved ones remain safe, comfortable, and mentally stimulated. 

Building Trust and Maintaining Dignity for Winchester Seniors

The Visiting Angels team members who provide senior home care are specially trained to cater to each client's unique needs. However, establishing and maintaining trust and familiarity between your aging family member and caregivers is never an afterthought.   

As an example, consider a loved one diagnosed with Alzheimer’s can groom themselves and complete basic chores around their house. Still, meal planning and getting proper nutrition becomes a challenge for them. As part of a care plan, matching a Visiting Angels caregiver with a passion for healthy food and cooking would be a great fit. 

No matter the specific challenges, Visiting Angels Shenandoah Valley can provide valuable assistance to ensure seniors with Alzheimer’s maintain their independence and dignity.
