Visiting Angels Home Care Services for Seniors in Boston
Selecting the right type of home care services for your loved one is important to ensuring they receive the optimal level of support as they age in place. However, if you've only recently encountered the concept of senior home care, you may not know what kind of services will best suit your loved one's needs.
We make it easy for families to understand the different forms of care we offer. Here's a brief overview of our most popular senior home care programs in Boston:
Elderly Companion Care
These types of services are the right fit for the majority of our care recipients who need help with daily life at home but do not require more intensive forms of care. Companion care services include a wide range of caregiving duties such as help with chores, meal preparation, and running errands.
Personal Care
This program is designed to meet more advanced care needs. Although it includes the basic caregiving tasks covered in companion care, it also extends to support essential routines such as bathing, getting dressed, and grooming. As a result, personal care services are typically ideal for seniors with chronic conditions.
Respite Care
If you provide senior care for a loved one but feel overwhelmed and exhausted, respite care can help. This type of care gives tired family caregivers relief from their duties, so they can take time off when needed.
Specialized Home Care
Our specialized home care services are tailored to meet the unique needs of seniors in Boston with specific health conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia and more.
If your loved one has a broad spectrum of care requirements, we can build a personalized plan that draws from the different types of care we offer so that it fits seamlessly into their daily life.
Compassionate Senior Home Caregivers
All of our caregivers undergo thorough background checks and a multi-step interview process to make sure they are compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy. Home aids receive training in order to provide dignified assistance with personal tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. Our Select a Caregiver® program matches clients with compatible caregivers for personalized support that yields the best outcomes.
