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

A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can have far-reaching effects on the entire family. If your loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, you are likely to have many concerns regarding the care and safety of your loved one. Visiting Angels^® Tucson offers experienced Alzheimer's care to seniors throughout the greater Tucson area, including Sierra Vista, Green Valley, Marana, Sahuarita, SaddleBrooke, Oro Valley, and the surrounding communities. We can help keep your loved one safe and comfortable at home.

Families trust Visiting Angels Tucson for Alzheimer's care because of our considerable experience working with memory-related illnesses. Our compassionate senior care professionals are trained in memory care. We can provide your loved one with assistance for daily activities, so they can maintain their dignity and sense of control.

About Our Alzheimer's Care Services in Tucson

With Alzheimer's disease, a one-size-fits-all approach to care simply does not work. Each person will experience different challenges and changes from this condition. At Visiting Angels Tucson, your loved one's care plan will be customized to address their unique health and wellness needs, and we take into consideration other chronic health concerns they may have. We can combine our services uniquely to help your loved one continue living safely in the comfort of home.

Because Alzheimer's disease is a progressive illness, our care at Visiting Angels Tucson is designed to meet the changing needs of your loved one. As your loved one's condition progresses, they are likely to need more care at home. We make it easy to update their care plan as needed. We can add additional home care services or caregiver visits to meet your loved one's needs.

Some ways the dedicated Alzheimer's care professionals from Visiting Angels Tucson can care for your loved one include:

• Client monitoring and wandering prevention
• Walking assistance and fall prevention
• Medication reminders and monitoring
• Household organization & light housekeeping
• Bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene assistance
• Preparation of dietary conscious meals
• Transportation to physician appointments
• Running errands such as grocery shopping

Another way in which we assist our clients is by helping them navigate the mental and emotional changes associated with Alzheimer's. Our caregivers are well-versed in calming techniques during times of anxiety, confusion, or disorientation. Listening to soothing music and going for walks can also be beneficial for seniors living with memory-related conditions. 

You can arrange for home care from our agency at any time. While some families may need our caregivers for their loved one during the day when family caregivers are at work, others prefer our caregivers to keep a watchful eye on their loved one overnight. We can also provide evening, weekend, holiday care, and 24/7 care. We customize the care schedule to meet your needs and those of your loved one. 

About Our Team of Alzheimer's Caregivers

We understand that you want your loved one to be in trusted, capable, and compassionate hands. At Visiting Angels Tucson, we make every effort to employ caregivers you can trust. Our thorough vetting and hiring process for our prospective caregivers includes reference checks and a criminal background investigation. This helps us employ caregivers who are trustworthy, experienced, and capable of meeting our high standards. We also require them to complete our orientation program, which helps them to learn about our values, policies, and procedures.

A main component of our Alzheimer's care is the relationship between our clients and our caregivers. We want our clients to feel safe and comfortable receiving care from our caregivers. When pairing one of our caregivers with your loved one, we take into consideration your loved one's interests, personality, care needs, and care schedule. With our Select Your Caregiver^® program, we provide a personalized recommendation to successfully match your loved one with the right caregiver for their needs and preferences. If you feel the caregiver isn’t the right match, we will recommend a different caregiver.
