Four Reasons to Choose Visiting Angels for Your Aging Loved One

Watching our aging loved ones decline with age is difficult for any family member. Often, it’s not a sudden event, but rather something that happens slowly over time. You see your beloved senior take longer to get up from a chair, struggle with hearing loss, or have lapses in judgment. Often when this happens, a family member steps in to play the role of a family caregiver. They take on the responsibility of ensuring the health and well-being of their beloved loved one, in hopes that they can remain safe and independent in the comfort of their own home.

What family caregivers don’t realize at first is that caring for an aging loved one is time-consuming and exhausting. It might start out as running errands for your senior family member or helping them with medication management once a week. Over time, their care needs increase, which puts more stress on the family caregiver. Caring for an aging loved one becomes a burden, instead of a privilege. 

If you are a family caregiver, or perhaps you’ve simply noticed changes in an aging loved one’s health, Visiting Angels Canton understands the stress you’re experiencing. Fortunately, you do not have to navigate this journey alone. We are here to assist seniors in the comfort of their own homes, giving family caregivers a much-needed break. Here are four reasons why you should choose Visiting Angels Canton for your beloved senior’s home care needs.

Age in Place

Visiting Angels offers a variety of home care services provided by compassionate, competent Care Professionals who come right to the client’s home. Our goal is to allow seniors to age with dignity while remaining in their own homes for as long as possible. Most seniors prefer to spend their retirement years at home. Moving into a senior care community can be traumatic, especially if it was never in their future plans. With the assistance provided by Visiting Angels, your aging loved one doesn’t need to move.

Remain Independent

As your beloved senior grows older, living the way they’ve always lived may no longer be an option. Chronic health conditions can cause them to lose bits and pieces of their independence. Safety often becomes a priority over a senior’s independence. The in-home care provided by Visiting Angels can address both areas of concern. Our Care Professionals are trained to come alongside their clients, motivating them to do as much as they can on their own. They become a cheerleader and a source of encouragement. Many clients report feeling more independent with the assistance provided by our amazing team. They also report feeling less of a burden to their own family, which goes a long way in maintaining their personal independence.

Unique & Flexible Care Plans

Another amazing benefit to choosing Visiting Angels for your senior home care needs is our flexibility in care plans. We recognize that no two seniors are alike. We meet with each client to develop a unique plan of care that addresses each client’s individual needs and routine. As your needs change over time, our care plans are flexible, meaning we can adapt to meet your needs down the road. We offer a wide variety of senior home care services, from personal care, such as dressing, bathing, toileting, and medication reminders, to companion care services that provide companionship and a friend. Our Care Professionals have also received specialized dementia care training and are able to assist those with memory loss. With Visiting Angels, you’ll have access to all these essential services. Thanks to our customized care plans, you can design a plan that suits your aging loved one’s non-medical care needs.

One-on-One Care

Finally, choosing Visiting Angels not only allows your loved one to remain independent, in the comfort of their own home, with a flexible, unique care plan, but it also means they will receive one-on-one care. Unlike other long-term care options that often require a move to a senior care community, your loved one can remain home and receive the attention they deserve. Sure, senior care communities often offer around the clock care. However, caregivers in facilities must balance the care needs of multiple residents and do not have the time to spend they often desire to spend with each individual. Senior home care guarantees that your loved one receives the attention they deserve.

The quality of care that Visiting Angels Canton provides is something not all senior home care companies can offer. We screen all Care Professionals before hiring to ensure that they are kind, compassionate, professional, and have a passion for seniors. We work with each client and their family to ensure their personalized needs are met currently and on an ongoing basis. We want to come alongside you and your family as you start you journey into senior home care. Please contact us today by calling 330-497-5995 so that we can learn more about your situation.
