Dementia is a disorder that affects nearly every aspect of a senior's life. By its nature, dementia causes a progressive decline in memory, complex motor skills, and cognitive function. It is inevitable that loved ones who are diagnosed with dementia will require additional support to manage their illness. Thankfully, essential dementia care is available through Visiting Angels in Orland Park. Countless families have found peace of mind knowing our skilled caregivers are looking out for their loved ones.

The Benefits of Care at Home

When caring for seniors with dementia there are many benefits to them receiving in-home dementia care. They do not have to move into an unfamiliar space, can establish a routine around their schedule, receive the exact care they need since care plans are customized to the individual, and have one to three caregivers (depending on the amount of service needed per week) that consistently see them. With these benefits, your loved one can stay comfortable, safe, and healthy at home even as their dementia progresses.
