If someone you love has been diagnosed with dementia, the comfort and familiarity of home can be invaluable. However, caring for someone with dementia can require specific skills and instincts that family caregivers simply may not have. At Visiting Angels^® Seattle, we offer specialized dementia care services for clients with early-, mid-, or late-stage dementia so they can remain at home instead of relocating to a new and potentially disorienting setting such as a nursing facility.

Our dementia care services are available for seniors in Seattle, Burien, West Seattle, and Des Moines. Through our compassionate care services, our professionals can address the specific challenges faced by people with dementia, and provide much-needed support for family members who have been doing their best to help their loved one weather these changes.

What We Offer with Our Dementia Care Services from Visiting Angels Seattle

Our dementia care services at Visiting Angels Seattle differ from other forms of senior care because they take into account the risk factors, symptoms, and obstacles associated with various forms of dementia. As with all our home care services, we also tailor our memory care to the particular needs and condition of each individual client.

The assistance we offer as part of our dementia care in Seattle can include:

• Reminders for medication and appointments, as well as medication monitoring
• Friendly companionship and conversation
• Supervision to prevent wandering
• Preparation of nutritious meals
• Support with grooming, bathing, and getting dressed
• Transport to appointments and therapy sessions
• Basic housekeeping
• Transferring support for clients who are relocating

Our caregivers are familiar with the risks and warning signs related to dementia, so they can help monitor the condition of each client over time for any indications that their symptoms are changing or getting more severe. As we provide home care for your loved one, we'll maintain a constant line of communication with you and your family to ensure that everyone is comfortable with the level of care we provide, and to address any changes in your relative's needs. 

How Aging in Place Helps Those with Dementia

Living with dementia can be a real challenge, but by helping your loved one remain at home, you can give them a chance at a better life. There are many advantages to living in your own private residence. For seniors with memory-based afflictions, the privacy and familiarity of home can be critical. They have enough stress and confusion to deal with as it is, so the benefit of living in a comfortable setting cannot be understated. 

At Visiting Angels Seattle, we work hard to help more seniors achieve this goal and continue aging in place. We provide the flexible, attentive, and evolving care each senior needs to avoid fall hazards and maintain a comfortable and healthy home life. 

Trusted Caregivers

In order to provide great care for every senior, we make sure to carefully select every person who joins our caregiving team. We use both background and reference checks to find qualified candidates with the right personalities. Our goal is to only select warmhearted and compassionate people who have a history of integrity, honesty, and dependability. As a result, you can always trust our caregivers to provide amazing care that meets your loved one's specific needs. 

We also take pride in creating a more positive living situation for every senior. Our caregivers act as loving companions, providing conversation and human interaction to keep them in better spirits. 

A Crucial Respite for Your Family

Caring for an elderly relative is hard work, and if you take it all on by yourself, you can expect to be burnt out. Instead of pushing yourself to exhaustion to manage your loved one's daily needs, you can delegate the work to our kind and caring professionals. We'll keep them safe, happy, and secure so you can go about your life without feeling a sense of guilt every time you need to step away. 

In addition, having a caregiver handle their daily care needs will free you up to spend quality time with your loved one instead. Visiting Angels Seattle is proud to help local families create better care dynamics and healthier living situations for everyone involved.
