Alzheimer's Care in Roseville

What to Expect After Diagnosis

At Visiting Angels^® Sacramento, we provide Alzheimer's care for Roseville area seniors. Our service reduces the demands placed on family care providers and helps seniors avoid the move to a care facility. Living at home is a wonderful benefit for all seniors, but for those with Alzheimer's, it is even more critical. They suffer from confusion, memory loss, and stress, so keeping them in a familiar and comfortable setting is one of the best ways to improve their quality of life. 

For those who have recently been diagnosed with the disorder, it's important to understand how things will progress. In the beginning stages, dementia sufferers can function mostly as normal. With some light assistance, they can remain pretty independent in their daily lives. There will be moments of confusion and forgetfulness which can induce feelings of frustration and anger, so it's important to be aware. 

Eventually, things will shift to a more moderate form of dementia. During this phase, daily life can become more difficult, and they will need more help around the house. Some everyday tasks will become impossible, so it's important to have dedicated support from a family member or a care professional. As memory and language skills continue to decline, seniors in this stage of the disorder also have frequent trouble understanding others and being understood themselves. 

Despite the downsides of Alzheimer's, there are many ways to improve your quality of life. A healthy diet, consistent physical activity, and daily mental exercises can go a long way towards slowing the mental decline. Another major factor in fighting the effects of this disorder, is remaining in your own home. In moments of stress and confusion, it really helps to be in a familiar setting where you feel safe.
