How Visiting Angels of Bethesda Complements Residential Care
Whether your elderly loved one resides in their own home or has transitioned to an assisted living facility, private caregivers from Visiting Angels of Bethesda can help. Perhaps your loved one was not eating well, moving around easily or interacting with others. When managing basic daily tasks became too difficult, you chose assisted living care. This option allows seniors to maintain some independence while receiving ongoing support with everyday tasks. Within these communities, they receive regular meals, participate in communal activities, access laundry and housekeeping services and receive personal care including bathing and dressing.
However, you might continue to worry about their overall quality of life. Your concerns could increase if you live far away or if your facility is functioning at full capacity. At Visiting Angels of Bethesda, our caregivers offer compassionate care at home or in an assisted living facility.
Benefits of Supplemental Care from Private Caregivers
As the demand for quality senior care soars, assisted living facilities often function at full capacity. Their caregivers are challenged by the task of catering to the needs of many residents at once. While your loved one may have access to many amenities, you might wonder if their basic needs are being fully met.
At Visiting Angels of Bethesda, our private caregivers can supplement their assisted-living care, so both can enjoy a better quality of life and greater peace of mind.
The benefits of personal caregiver services can include:
- One-on-one attention for more personalized care
A professional caregiver will give your loved one their full, undivided attention, without distractions or other obligations. Their needs will be met immediately. - A genuine bond between caregiver and care recipient
Since your loved one will see the same care provider during every visit, they can develop a personal relationship built on trust and friendship. - Daily contact for greater peace of mind
You’ll receive insight and information from your caregiver every day. Updates provide a clear picture of how your loved one is doing and involve you in their care.
