About our Social Care Service

Many seniors find that using new technologies comes with a very difficult learning curve. If they are shown too quickly or are unable to figure it out on their own, they are likely to simply give up. Because learning to use current technologies is such an important skill, the Visiting Angels social care program teaches seniors how to:

  • Use a cell phone
  • Text, send email, Skype, or use FaceTime
  • Create a Facebook page/account and interact with family and friends
  • Log in, shop online, or research information on a search engine

The Benefits of Visiting Angels Social Care Services

Learning how to use technology to stay connected to family and friends has been shown to yield enormous benefits, both mentally and emotionally, to those who can adjust; in fact, studies have shown that:

  • Surfing the internet can reduce depression in seniors by 20 percent.*
  • A University of Arizona study finds seniors who use Facebook showed a 25 percent improvement in mental “updating” skills, which are essentially improving their working memory.
  • Another study shows that seniors who visit social networking sites like Facebook have a positive emotional experience when measured by breathing rates, brain stimulation, and pupil dilation.**

In addition to teaching seniors how to use technology to engage with family and friends, we focus on ensuring their safety and security online by making them aware of how to navigate the web safely, recognize scams, and protect their personal information.

We have found that learning to use technology can open a whole new world for seniors, enabling them to do everything from taking online classes to attending virtual museum tours. Using technology in this way further enriches their lives and provides them with a newfound sense of freedom.

Beyond Technology: Visiting Angels Home Care Services

Visiting Angels of Chattanooga provides quality home care services to seniors throughout Chattanooga, Signal Mountain, Dunlap, and the surrounding areas in Southeastern Tennessee. Some of the services we offer include:

Personal Care

Our personal care services are personalized to meet your loved one's needs and may include help with everything from bathing, dressing and grooming to running errands and light housekeeping.

Fall Prevention

Our fall prevention program is designed to help prevent falls in and around the home. Falls are among the leading causes of loss of independence among seniors, and those who have fallen once are at higher risk of falling again.

Respite Care

Our respite care program provides family caregivers with relief so that they are able to take a break and attend to their own needs while resting assured that their loved one is in good hands.
