Our Mission: To Improve the Quality of Life for Those Living with Alzheimer's and Their Families

When your parent or family member is living with Alzheimer's disease, their needs can change frequently. As a degenerative illness, Alzheimer's can cause those living with the disease to experience cognitive decline and frequent mood swings. Finding professional support for your loved one can not only help to keep them safe at home, but it can also provide a much-needed respite for family caregivers. At Visiting Angels^® Rochester, we provide at-home Alzheimer's care for seniors in Rochester, Byron, Stewartville, Austin, and throughout communities in the surrounding areas. We can provide your loved one with the experienced care they need so they can continue to live at home.

How Alzheimer's Care Helps Seniors in Rochester

Alzheimer's care from Visiting Angels Rochester helps seniors in a variety of ways. Our caregivers can provide the assistance your loved one needs with everyday tasks so he or she can remain independent and avoid moving to a senior living or memory care center. Keeping our clients safe and comfortable at home is part of our Alzheimer's care mission.

Some of the popular home care services frequently provided by caregivers from our office in Rochester include:

• Client monitoring and wandering prevention
• Offering medication reminders 
• Dignified assistance with bathing and dressing
• Transportation to therapy and doctor visits
• Safe preparation of dietary-conscious meals
• Grocery shopping and running other errands
• Household organization and light housekeeping
• Joyful companionship and social care
• Walking, transferring assistance, and fall prevention

In addition to the physical assistance we offer, our caregivers are also able to address your loved one's mental and emotional needs. We are well-versed in creative methods to keep your loved one calm during times of confusion and disorientation. Listening to music, recalling memories, and going for daily walks can help keep confusion at bay.

The schedule of services we create will accommodate your family's needs. Your loved one will have access to assistance whenever it is needed. Our caregivers have around-the-clock availability, making both part-time and full-time schedules possible. We also offer weekend, evening, and holiday availability to easily coordinate care with family caregivers. Our affordable hourly rates make it possible for your family to create a care plan that suits your needs and budget.

Our flexible care can adjust at any time to accommodate your loved one's changing needs. As the disease progresses, your loved one may require additional services and/or lengthier caregiver visits. We can make these changes at any time. With a simple phone call to our office, you can make changes to your loved one's care plan and schedule of visits. We will implement the changes efficiently.
