Visiting Angels® and the Alzheimer's Foundation of America Have
Formed a Partnership!

Mission:
To Improve the Quality of Life for Clients with Alzheimer's
Disease and Their Families
Visiting Angels helps provide Quality of Life for the elderly
and their families, who are living with the suffering effects
of Alzheimer's. Most often, after an initial diagnosis of
Alzheimer's, families are faced with difficult decisions about
providing care for their loved ones.
The hardest
choices to be made are by families who are separated by great
distances. They need assurance that caregivers will be accountable
and keep them informed of any problems. Nursing homes and
special care retirement centers do provide that type of care,
but they are not the only option. You do have a choice and
we can help.
Our companion-care provides seniors with joyful companionship,
which helps to reduce loneliness and depression. Our care
givers can also provide medication-reminders, meal-prep, shopping,
light housekeeping, laundry, transport & accompaniment,
as part of our companion care. |

| 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 professionals who care
for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related illnesses.
Eric J. Hall, AFA's chief executive
officer, praised Visiting Angels
for stepping up to provide Dementia Care Professionals of
America (DCPA) training to Visiting Angel's staff of healthcare
professionals.
As the incidence of Alzheimer's
disease continues to increase, it is critical that organizations
recognize the importance of setting high quality standards
for healthcare providers. These efforts will go a long way
toward providing optimal care to those in need.
Working through the DCPA, a
new membership division of the AFA for healthcare professionals,
Visiting Angels
agencies across North America train and qualify selected caregivers
to provide service to individuals and families trying to cope
with this challenging disease.
