An Introduction to Long-Distance Senior Home Care Services from Visiting Angels Central Coast
Visiting Angels provides personalized senior home care services for aging adults in Scotts Valley, Marina, Santa Cruz and surrounding areas in California. If you live outside the Central Coast region, here’s how our office can help you arrange the care your loved one needs.
Long-distance caregiving is a great option for families and senior loved ones who live in separate counties or states. For example, your parent chose to move away for retirement while you and your siblings still live back home. So, what to do when Mom or Dad starts needing assistance and you cannot relocate to be there for them because you now have a family of your own? Long-distance caregiving is the answer.
At Visiting Angels Central Coast, we understand that in today’s fast-paced world many families end up miles apart from each other, whether for career, retirement, or other purposes. Through our long-distance senior home care services, we enable you to provide your loved one with the care and support they need to spend their golden years independently and comfortably at home.
