Private Caregivers in Bethlehem, PA

The private caregivers at Visiting Angels of Lehigh Valley - Bethlehem are the reason that we stand out from other local homecare agencies because we build meaningful connections with our clients! Many of us work with the same families for months or years. Over time, we turn into a trusted friend in a senior’s daily life.

We have both men and women on our caregiving staff who live and work in the same local neighborhoods that you do!

What Our Private Caregivers Do

The day-to-day responsibilities of our private caregivers will always change somewhat based on each client's customized care plan. Generally speaking, our caregivers will handle things like meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, help with bathing and personal hygiene, assistance with dressing and mobility, and companionship.

The goal for all of us at Visiting Angels is to keep our seniors safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible in their own homes! And, we know we’ve done our job well when we read our customer reviews who praise angels (like Yolanda, Elizabeth or Carol) by name in their testimonials.

To demonstrate our commitment to our clients and our local community, our caregivers participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer's each year. We also contribute to donation drives for local charities like the Family Promise of the Poconos and the Bethlehem Township Volunteer Fire Company.

How We Select Professional Caregivers

Every caregiver completes background checks and reference verification before getting hired by Visiting Angels. We look for individuals who are patient and attentive, often caregivers have previous healthcare experience too.

Once you are hired, caregivers go through onboarding training at Visiting Angels University. After that, we also have ongoing trainings like Teepa Snow's Positive Approach® to Care that covers dementia and memory care topics

We also do special trainings right here in Bethlehem! Earlier this year, our caregivers spent a day learning about Fire Safety and Emergency Preparedness Training from the Bethlehem Township Volunteer Fire Company. We practiced helpful, life-saving things like CPR, chest compressions, learned how to dress wounds during emergencies and about fire prevention protocols or how to identify hazards in a home.
