For seniors with dementia, living in a familiar setting and following a well-established routine can help them feel more at ease and less anxious. 

But as their caregiver, you may worry about what happens when their condition progresses. Will they need to move to an expensive memory care facility or assisted living arrangement? You may also be concerned about the increased stress and confusion that can accompany a move. 

With the assistance of Visiting Angels Emerald Coast and our dementia care in Panama City, FL, your loved one can remain safe and comfortable at home. Our skilled senior home care services are designed to reduce worries while helping your loved one maintain a dignified, independent lifestyle.

Customer Testimonial: A Fulfilling Experience with Visiting Angels

"My father has dementia, and I needed help with his care during the day. Visiting Angels and Rush, his caregiver, have really come through for me! Having someone with Dad during the day frees me up to run errands and have some "me" time as well, which all caregivers need. Rush does everything I ask and then some, and is diligent about letting me know what's going on with Dad and his house so I can take care of things. It's wonderful knowing I can entrust my loved one to Rush and Visiting Angels and not have to worry."

What’s the Difference Between Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease?

When people talk about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, they may use the terms interchangeably. However, these are two different diagnoses that progress differently, and people who have them may have differing symptoms. 

• Dementia–symptoms impacting memory, reasoning and other cognitive skills.
• Alzheimer’s disease–progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. 

While seniors diagnosed with dementia may stay the same for many years, or get better for some time, someone with Alzheimer’s will experience worsening symptoms that don’t get better. 

Personalized Dementia Home Care from Trusted Professionals

If you’re currently the primary caregiver for your senior loved one with dementia, it can be a struggle to manage repetitive conversations, personality changes and agitation. And providing around-the-clock memory care support can leave you exhausted and at high risk of caregiver burnout, which negatively impacts your mental and physical well-being. 

You don’t have to handle it all alone–Visiting Angels is here to help with caregivers who have undergone specialized dementia care training developed in partnership with some of the top specialists in the field. 

We understand the symptoms and challenges your loved one is facing, and we’re available as often as you need us, including for regular dementia home care or for short-term respite care to give you a much-needed break.
