Dementia Care in Greater St. Charles
If your loved one has recently been diagnosed with dementia, you may be concerned about their ability to continue living independently. At Visiting Angels® of Greater St. Charles, our caregivers provide the everyday assistance your loved one needs. Our dementia care is specifically designed to assist those with this memory-related illness and keep your loved one comfortable in their own home.
Aging in place can be very beneficial for seniors living with dementia. Instead of uprooting them to live in an assisted-living facility or nursing home, our care allows them to remain at home. Being surrounded by familiar objects can offer comfort during times of confusion. Staying at home also allows seniors to maintain their daily routines and encourages them to keep their independence as long as possible.

With Visiting Angels Greater St. Charles, your loved one will receive a care plan that is customized to their unique needs. Dementia can affect seniors in many different ways, which is why we bring this personalized approach to our dementia care program. We will incorporate your loved one's needs, preferences, personality, and daily routine into their care plan.
Our care is also adaptive. With dementia, your loved one's needs will likely change as the disease progresses. The early stage of dementia typically involves mild forgetfulness. As it progresses into the middle and late stages, your loved one will experience difficulty with daily life. This can include social activities, mobility, and eating. Simply reach out to us at these times, and we will work with you to alter their care plan accordingly. Our caregivers also monitor their clients for any changes in health, behavior, and well-being during each visit. These changes will be communicated to you directly. We are happy to work with you and your loved one's physician to create a care plan that meets any changing needs.
For seniors living with dementia, keeping a daily routine or schedule can be very beneficial. Our caregivers are available around the clock, giving your loved one the care they need when they need it most. You will have the ability to build a custom care schedule for your loved one. We offer a 24-hour service as well. Our dementia care can also be provided as respite for family caregivers. We are available on weekends, evenings, and holidays as well to give you more time for obligations, events, and family.
