About Our Dementia Care in Charlotte
Elderly adults who are diagnosed with dementia or related memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease must typically turn to their loved ones for support. However, the care needs of those with dementia tend to be more than family caregivers can handle. That’s why many families consider placing their loved ones in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, where they believe they will receive the care they need to maintain their quality of life.
In-home dementia care is also an option for seniors in Charlotte, and it can be a lifeline for those with dementia. For seniors with memory disorders, new environments can be disruptive and disorienting, even causing the risk of further decline. By aging in place at home, they can maintain their independence for as long as possible, maintaining the same comfortable routines and activities.
At Visiting Angels Charlotte, our dementia care services make that possible, while ensuring seniors get the support they need. Our professional home care providers are prepared to provide assistance with a wide range of daily activities, so elderly adults who are coping with the symptoms of dementia can experience the benefits of remaining in familiar surroundings.
In order to ensure our team of caregivers is equipped to manage the care demands of those with dementia, we offer basic dementia care training to all our care providers. We even partnered with prominent dementia specialists to formulate a collection of care certification programs that offer instruction and up-to-date protocol for the process of providing dementia care.
Caregiver Support That's Empathetic and Understanding
When you set up dementia care with our agency, we'll assign a dedicated caregiver to look after your loved one. Care professionals are matched to clients based on their knowledge and temperament, ensuring your family member always has a friendly face to turn to.
In addition to assisting with regular care tasks, our caregivers also provide regular social contact for seniors in Charlotte. This kind of contact can help to reduce isolation, stress, and anxiety. Our caregivers build meaningful bonds with clients, while making sure their needs are always looked after.
For those with dementia, it's not uncommon to deal with moments of frustration, confusion, or anxiety. Having a compassionate and understanding caregiver can make all the difference at these times. Our care professionals in Charlotte are friendly, kind, and sensitive to the many challenges of dementia. We provide emotional support and companionship during these difficult periods, so seniors don't have to face them alone.
Getting Started with Dementia Care at Visiting Angels Charlotte
We take the confusion out of getting started with in-home dementia care, so that your family can have the peace of mind you need. We’ll begin by arranging a free care consultation at your loved one’s home to discuss his or her care needs and preferences as well as your family’s concerns.
Then, we’ll create a tailor-made care plan that accommodates those requirements. Your loved one’s care plan could include services such as the following:
- Help with bathing, dressing, and personal care
- Assistance with basic housekeeping chores
- Grocery shopping and meal preparation
- Support with transportation
- Crucial reminders for medications and appointments
- Professional monitoring
These home care services aren't set in stone. They're meant to be easily updated whenever needed. That way, as your family member's condition evolves, Visiting Angels Charlotte can always be there to help.
