How To Help When They Say They Want To Go Home

At Visiting Angels^® Upland, we offer dementia care for residents of Claremont and nearby communities. Our service helps those with the disorder remain safely living at home, while also providing a crucial respite for caregiving family members. 

This disorder provides many new challenges, and one of those is a reduced ability for verbal communication. A common result, is that many seniors will use the phrase 'I want to go home,' to mean a variety of different things. When they make this declaration in their own home, it can often be mistaken for simple confusion. But in reality, this statement can be their attempt to express physical or emotional discomfort. 

We recommend avoiding any logical discussion and simply attempting to calm them down. It's important to remember that when they make this declaration, they are likely experiencing a great deal of stress or fear. As a loving family member, your job is to reassure them and let them know you are there to help. Make them feel safe and calm, perhaps with a hug or by playing their favorite music. 

By providing a warm and caring presence, you can minimize these situations and help them feel safe. We are proud to offer help in these areas, with professional in-home support customized around their needs. We can assist whenever you need, so whether you need full-time care or just an occasional break, we are here to help.

They also get to enjoy more comfort and privacy, which can help dramatically with their mental state. The benefits of our support include:

• A reliable resting opportunity for family caregivers
• And much more!
