A: Visiting Angels provides companion care and personal care services. Our home care services are designed to provide assistance with those activities that elders need help with in order to be able to stay at home safely and with dignity. Our home care services may include fall prevention, medication and fluids reminders, light housekeeping, grooming or bathing assistance, and running errands.
A: Aging in place refers to the ability of any person to grow old in their own home or that of their family. It is the opposite of institutional residential care like a nursing home. Sometimes it may mean the ability, with extra help, to stay in an assisted living facility as well.
A: Yes. People sometimes discover that the assistance provided in an assisted living facility is not sufficient to enable them to remain independent. In these cases, Visiting Angels provides a qualified caregiver to make this possible. In some states you are allowed to hire private help in an assisted living facility – or nursing home.
A: Generally services can be provided within a 48-hour period and often the same day.
A: Schedule changes are easily accomplished with as little as one week notice. Our philosophy is to make the schedule work for the family, not the agency. You come first. Your needs, your requests, your schedule. We will do everything possible to make sure the schedule you want is the schedule you get.
A: Use our office locator or call 800-365-4189 to find a caregiver near you. We will have our staff come to your home and conduct a free, no obligation assessment. We will then, at your direction, identify caregivers who have the skills, personality and availability to assist you. You will then be able to meet the caregiver, and if you approve, they will begin working for you.
SO THANKFUL. The owner Brett and the care workers have been amazing. Brett was willing to assist us at my mother's hospital room and home over the Christmas holiday weekend, and last minute as well. He was above and beyond available throughout his holiday as my mother was/is very "needy". This office has been helpful in adjusting schedules and providing workers at last minute notice, and round the clock off and on for the last month. I do not know what my family would have done without them. Very thankful for the director/owner's kind and listening ear as well as prayers for both me and my mother in all of the stress and difficulty. As long as we need help, we'll use them, and I'll be recommending them to anyone I know as well.
