How Families in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties Can Prepare for an In-Home Consultation with Visiting Angels Central Coast

If this is your first time arranging professional in-home senior care for a family member or friend, you should understand how an agency like Visiting Angels Central Coast can help get you started on the right foot. Here's what you should expect when you arrange an in-home consultation with our care coordinators:

What Gets Discussed During the Consultation?

Our compassionate care coordinators at Visiting Angels Central Coast are skilled at putting seniors and families at ease, especially when discussing sensitive issues.

Topics we cover can include:

• Physical needs such as personal hygiene, dressing, meal preparation and mobility;


• Emotional needs such as socializing and companionship;


• Schedules and routines involving sleep, meals and medication;


• Housekeeping tasks such as meal preparation, grocery shopping and laundry;


• How to collaborate with our home care agency regarding scheduling, entering the home and documentation.

Our in-home consultations also include complimentary home safety and fall risk assessments; we’ll examine your loved one’s specific safety needs.

In addition, our care coordinators will answer your questions about caregiver qualifications, safety, oversight, emergency procedures and other concerns.

What Happens After the Consultation?

Our care coordinators will use information from your consultation to develop a comprehensive care plan tailored to your loved one’s unique needs. The plan will include a schedule and a description of specific activities and tasks that require caregiver assistance. Your care coordinator will then match your loved one with a compatible senior caregiver.

When Does Care Begin?

If you would like to proceed with Visiting Angels Central Coast, we will create a schedule, finalize the care plan, schedule a nurse visit and coordinate a meeting with your senior caregiver. Caregivers can typically begin within a week of the initial consultation. In some cases, we can begin providing in-home care services the same day.

What If I Live Outside the Central Coast Region?

At Visiting Angels Central Coast, we understand many families and senior loved ones live far apart. Rest assured that we have the resources needed to keep you in the loop regarding your loved one’s care. When our care coordinators come to your loved one’s home for the consultation, we can give you the option to call into the meeting or join via videoconferencing.

Once we begin providing care, our senior caregivers will inform you about your loved one’s well-being. That way, you can have peace of mind knowing your loved one is in good hands.
