Why Choose In-Home Care Services?
At Visiting Angels of Bethesda, we understand that deciding on care for your loved one is difficult. With this in mind, we have created a guide to help you learn about the top benefits of in-home care services for seniors.
Top Seven Benefits of In-Home Senior Care
Seniors receive care in familiar surroundings
Seniors can receive care in the comfort of their homes, which is especially beneficial to seniors with forms of dementia.
Seniors receive customized care
Care is tailored to the needs and preferences of your loved one. Schedule caregivers at any time for as long as you need.
Seniors receive personalized, one-on-one care
Your loved one will receive care from one or two main caregivers. This helps our caregivers get to know your loved one’s preferences, hobbies and dislikes. Caregivers bond with clients and form meaningful relationships, allowing caregivers to communicate more effectively with clients and provide better care.
Seniors maintain their privacy
In-home care services allow your loved one to enjoy the comfort and privacy of their own home. Our caregivers will always be available to care for your loved one; however, they also respect your loved one’s privacy and know when to step back.
Seniors can stay safe
When your loved one lives in their own home, their exposure to dangerous diseases and viruses like COVID-19 will be limited. Our caregivers can keep your loved one safe by running errands so they can stay inside, teach them how to use social media so they can socially distance while staying in touch with friends and family, remind them to wash their hands and more.
Seniors can stay independent
With customized care at home from Visiting Angels of Bethesda, your loved one will receive assistance with tasks they find difficult but will have the space to independently complete tasks that are simpler. If your loved one needs assistance buying food from the grocery store but still enjoys cooking for themselves, in-home senior care can offer your loved one this freedom.
Seniors receive affordable care
In-home senior care is one of the more affordable care options for older adults because your loved one will only have to pay for the services they require.
