Visiting Angels is indeed a blessing. I needed someone to care for my mom who lives in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. She suffers from Alzheimer’s and I live in England. I was able to choose the right caregiver for my Mom. The person was experienced and had excellent credentials. I have peace of mind knowing that Mom is in capable hands. You should check them out at http://www.visitingangels.com/palmbeaches (561-328-7611) if you need senior care services.
Thanks for sharing this information

I am an adult daughter of a mom with severe combo Alz/Dementia. She does not fit in any care facilities and the hospital referred her to a Geriatric Psych ward 4 weeks ago. My dad and I rented an apt for them and have a company providing care for her and we grabbed her last Wednesday from the psych hospt even thought the team there did not think that was a good idea…..they have her on so many meds and I don’t know how to find a Dr. in the Portland, OR area (they live and I live in Tualatin, OR just south of Portland,) that agrees with this care. She is on Simvastatin 20 MG, exelon 4.6 mg patch, divalproex sod spr125 mg, ziprasidone hcl 40 mg, and namenda 5 mg……..Do you have any suggestions? debbie 503-799-6889
