At Visiting Angels^® Portland, we offer dementia care services for seniors who have been diagnosed with early-, mid-, or late-stage dementia. Our goal is to help local seniors who are suffering from dementia to maintain their quality of life while also providing their family members with relief and peace of mind. If your senior loved one in Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Lake Oswego, Milwaukie, or the surrounding communities has been diagnosed with dementia, our dementia care program may be the right choice for you.

How Dementia Care in Portland Can Help

A dementia diagnosis typically results in increased dependency on family and friends, as well as the need for familiar surroundings. If you have a loved one who is coping with dementia, you may find it difficult to balance your personal and professional life while also tending to his or her daily needs. At Visiting Angels Portland, our dementia care program aims to provide the additional support your family and your loved one require. Our compassionate caregivers deliver specialized assistance, enabling your loved one to continue to live at home while maximizing his or her quality of life. In addition to much-needed respite, you and other family caregivers will have peace of mind that your loved one is in good hands.

Our Dementia Care Services For the Portland Area

Our caregivers are familiar with the challenges of caring for those who have been diagnosed with dementia. That’s why at Visiting Angels Portland, we tailor our home care services to the specific symptoms, risks, and difficulties that are associated with different types of dementia. In addition, we’ve also partnered with prominent dementia specialists to design dementia care certification programs for our caregivers.

We provide support to cover a wide variety of needs through our dementia home care services from Visiting Angels Portland. Our caregivers assist clients with everyday activities, while also offering joyful companionship and important reminders. Here are just a few of the services that our caregivers are prepared to deliver as part of our dementia care program:

• Vigilant monitoring and wandering prevention
• Mobility assistance, including assistance with walking and transfers
• Support with daily hygiene routines, including bathing, dressing, and grooming
• Medical appointments and medication assistance
• Light housekeeping and homemaking duties
• Transportation to and from appointments

How Aging in Place Helps Those with Dementia

For those with dementia, living in a private and familiar setting can go a long way toward reducing the stress and confusion that come with their disorder. Instead of transitioning to a care facility in order to get the direct help they need, our service allows seniors to remain in their own homes for as long as possible. We'll provide the direct, customized, and one-on-one assistance your loved one needs to safely navigate home life and maintain a sense of normalcy and comfort. 

By providing flexible service that matches your loved one's specific needs, Visiting Angels Portland can help you build a happier, healthier, and safer setting where they can age in place with dignity, peace, and comfort. 

Dedicated Support From Loving Caregivers

We understand that our role is very sensitive. We provide direct care for seniors in their own homes, so it's important that every person we employ can be trusted. To accomplish this, we rely on extensive background and reference checks during our hiring process. This means that every caregiver we send out into local homes is honest, dependable, and committed to helping others.

You can count on our fully-vetted professionals to provide respectful and loving care that anticipates your loved one's needs. You can also count on us for compassionate support, friendly conversation, and a more positive living situation for your loved one. 

A Crucial Respite for Your Family

In addition to all of the amazing benefits our in-home support can offer for local seniors, our service also plays a crucial role in helping family care providers. Instead of working yourself to exhaustion trying to manage your own personal and professional life while caring for an elderly relative, you can secure our reliable support and enjoy peace of mind. 

Our flexible service includes customized care planning and scheduling, so you can secure the respite care you and your loved one need to manage this situation. With our loving and attentive care, you'll be free to take time away without feeling a sense of guilt or shame. In addition, delegating your care duties means being free to enjoy the time you spend with your loved one. We look forward to meeting with you during our initial free care consultation to work together and develop the right care plan for your family.
