3 Tips for Providing Dementia Care for Your Loved One in Yukon

Figuring out how to care for your loved one with dementia can be hard and overwhelming. There are ways to stay on top of their needs and ensure they are comfortable. Our team at Visiting Angels Oklahoma City is here to support you and provide help as needed.

Here are three tips for providing dementia care for your loved one in the Yukon area:

1. Stick to their treatment plan. Following doctor's orders is always a good idea. As a family caregiver, you can get specific instructions on your loved one's needs from their doctor. Our caregivers are happy to work directly with your loved one's physician to provide proper care at all times.
2. Provide cooperative care. Instead of focusing on what your loved one isn't able to do, encourage them to do all they can. Whether that is keeping their home tidy or bathing and dressing themselves, it is important that they retain independence. Simply step in to help them when they reach their limit of ability. This is the exact approach we use with our dementia care program for the Yukon area.
3. Help them stay active. Physical activity is not only great for the body, but it also supports the mind. Accompany your loved one on a daily walk or try incorporating age-friendly exercises.

Choosing our dementia program can bring you peace of mind. We encompass all the above aspects plus our range of in-home services to meet your loved one's needs.
