Alzheimer's/dementia care at Home in Albuquerque, New Mexico:

Most often, after an initial diagnosis of Alzheimer's or a related dementia illness, families are faced with difficult decisions about providing care for their loved one. Working parents with children are faced with new stresses to balance work and family. Families who are separated by great distances must make hard choices to provide care. Sometimes nursing homes or special care retirement centers seem to be the only options. You do have a choice and we can help.

Visiting Angels non-medical home care services allow your loved one to maintain the independence of their daily routines and familiar surroundings. We can help your loved one avoid the emotional trauma of leaving their cherished home while helping cope with the dementia illness and providing the respite care so important for the family.

As part of a collaborative relationship formed by Visiting Angels and the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, Visiting Angels, has become the first national non-medical senior home care provider in North America to offer an AFA sponsored formal training and qualification program for our caregivers who care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses.

When seeking an alternative to assisted living care, many caregivers opt to bring in home care services to help an aging parent maintain their independence.   A companion/homemaker can provide home duties such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, laundry and errands. Homemakers found through a licensed care provider can wash hair, sewing, attending to a pet but cannot do heavy cleaning or any medically related tasks. Companionship is just that, companionship with NO ACTUAL HANDS ON CARE. Other respite care options can be found by a Home Health Aide.  A Home Health Aide can provide all the services mentioned in addition to HANDS ON CARE such as dressing, bathing, feeding etc…which is generally referred to as Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

When an Aide is found through a licensed care provider, a thorough background check is provided along with peace of mind that the provider holds themselves accountable for quality service.  Based on the amount of hours contracted, an Aide may attend to one resident or multiple residents in need of care.  Duties such as checking the pulse, transferring and helping patients to take their medicine are just a few of the responsibilities and benefits of hiring a Home Health Aide for personal care.
