The same is true for their family members, who often make great sacrifices in order to provide them with the best possible care. Visiting Angels^® Upland provides one-on-one dementia care from the comfort of the senior's own home which can alleviate their burden, and yours. Our dignity-first approach to care means that they can receive care that helps them maintain their independence and still stay safe at home. It's the kind of top-quality care that has made us the trusted choice for home care for families in not only Upland, but in Rancho Cucamonga, Pomona, and Claremont, too.

How Aging in Place Helps Those with Dementia

When it comes to coping with a dementia diagnosis, there are few things more helpful than living at home. For seniors with memory issues, the comfort of having a familiar home setting cannot be replaced. We strongly believe that every family should strive to keep their elderly loved ones at home for as long as possible, and we are committed to providing the help you need to make that happen. 

Another helpful aspect of remaining at home, is that seniors will get to keep up with their normal daily routine. This not only helps with cognitive issues, but it can also help to keep them in a more positive mindset. With our in-home support, we aim to help each senior remain in their comfortable, familiar, and private home setting so that they can cope with their struggles with dignity, comfort, and peace of mind. 

Reliable Support From Trustworthy Caregivers

When making the choice to secure senior care, we know that many families experience stress and apprehension. After all, you are bringing a total stranger into your loved one's home. However, rest assured that we take every step to find the right people for this vital role. Our hiring process includes advanced background and reference checks, allowing us to select only the most qualified candidates.

At Visiting Angels Upland, we value traits such as honesty, integrity, and empathy above all else, so when you secure our in-home dementia care services, you can expect a loving and dependable care provider who truly cares about your loved one's quality of life. Our caregivers also bring positive and energetic personalities to the role, helping to facilitate happier and more fulfilling home lives for each senior. 

A Crucial Respite for Your Family

Along with the benefits our care can provide for your loved one, it can also play a critical role in preserving your own mental health. The reality is that caring for an elderly relative is stressful, time-consuming, and mentally-draining. If you take it all on by yourself, you can expect to experience caregiver burnout. With our support, you can avoid all of this stress and keep up with other areas of your life without feeling like you let your loved one down. 

We offer flexible scheduling and customized care, so you can secure the help you need when you need it.
