The Benefits of Working with a Visiting Angels Caregiver

Plenty of care options are available to seniors in Atlanta East to ensure safe aging. Still, there’s a reason more and more seniors are turning to at-home care instead of assisted or independent living communities. At Visiting Angels, we believe the best place for seniors to age is at home. Our team of compassionate and hardworking caregivers makes aging in place possible for our community.

What does a Visiting Angels Caregiver do?

Visiting Angels is a locally owned and operated at-home care agency providing community seniors care services to help them live safely and independently. Our professional caregivers can assist with nonmedical tasks like light housekeeping, medication reminders, toileting, showering, grooming, meal preparations, and transportation.

Benefits of a Visiting Angels Caregiver

Working with a Visiting Angels caregiver provides endless benefits to clients and their families.

Benefits for Seniors

You can age in place. So many seniors think moving to a senior community or assisted living facility is the only way to age. But at-home caregiving is a viable option for seniors who want to stay in familiar surroundings. With an at-home caregiver, you can age in place more safely and comfortably than if you were living alone.
Caregivers can assist with daily chores. As you age, you may find it more challenging to complete specific tasks, like carrying laundry up and down stairs or vacuuming. Caregivers can help with any daily chore that may be giving you trouble.
You won’t feel alone. Many seniors who live alone experience loneliness and social isolation because they cannot leave the house and interact with others as they once did. Having a caregiver gives you someone to talk to and can also help get you outside and interacting in the community so you’re not feeling alone.

Benefits for Families

Your loved one will have someone around to help them. If you have an aging loved one, it’s common to worry about their safety at home, especially if you cannot check on them. Visiting Angel caregivers can give you the peace of mind of knowing your loved one has someone to care for them.
You’ll feel less overwhelmed. Caring for a loved one is a full-time job, and if you’re not a trained caregiver professional, it’s an overwhelming experience. Having a professional caregiver assist you part-time or take over your loved one’s care full-time can significantly reduce your stress regarding your loved one’s care.
You can focus on other aspects of your life. When you’re not consistently stressed or worried about your loved one’s safety and comfort, you’ll have the energy to focus on other aspects of your life, like work, school, and the rest of your family.
