Helping you age comfortably every step of the way
Happy and healthy aging is about having the right arrangement and support system in place. It can feel challenging, especially during the winter months, and with the additional challenges that COVID-19 has brought, to feel comfortable and secure. Whether you have opted to remain in your home, or you found a care facility that suits you, your support network is a crucial component to securing a good fit.
Visiting Angels Chelmsford has the expertise to lend a framework to your arrangement with customized care that suits your needs. As your needs change, our services expand to meet those emerging needs.
As we age, we all want to be both independent and well-supported. Visiting Angels Chelmsford offers a robust array of services to ensure that you can have the experience that helps you or your loved one age comfortably, every step of the way.
Customized care
We all age differently. Our areas of strength and our areas of need are as unique as we are. Visiting Angels Chelmsford listens to each of our clients and their families. We customize care so that each client gets what they need. For some, this means working with a caregiver who's been specially trained to provide Dementia Care, while others may only be looking for Companion Care.
Our Visiting Angels Client Care Manager will visit each client before services begin to discuss their care needs and develop an individualized custom care plan. Learning about our clients’ needs and personalities help us match our caregivers to our clients. Our Senior Life Navigation Program ensures that our clients' most essential needs are handled regularly. These may include:
- Running errands, including to the pharmacy and grocery store
- Cooking, light house cleaning, and laundry
- Providing medication reminders
- Assisting with grooming and hygiene
- Providing restroom and walking assistance
- Providing companionship and company
- Providing exercise assistance
- Helping with fall prevention measures
Getting back on your feet
Visiting Angels Chelmsford Caregivers also help those returning home from hospital stays. At-home care has proven to be an effective aid in reducing or preventing readmission. Our client care manager is available to attend discharge meetings at the hospital, listening to the doctor's post-stay instructions. That way, we can fully implement all the non-medical instructions to support the client upon their return home. When it comes to recovery, it helps to have a professional who knows what questions to ask and who is also well-versed in enacting care instructions outside the medical setting.
Our goal is to reduce the likelihood of hospital readmissions. We help families coordinate their loved one's transition home, offering support and expertise during the change, and remaining an engaged part of the care team through those first weeks after a hospital stay. Our Ready-Set-Go Home Program brings structure, expertise, and peace of mind to our clients and their families.
Care for the caregivers
Our care services provide a network for care and support for the whole family. For example, Respite Care allows the family caregiver to get some distance from their caregiver work by tagging in a professional to take over for a day, a week, or any extended period of time. It is generous to provide care to a family member, but it is also hard work which can be taxing. It is okay to acknowledge that and to call for backup. Getting some time for yourself can help you recharge and feel refreshed. This way, when you return, you feel energized and ready to return to the your role as a caregiver. Family caregivers are essential people. We are proud to support them in their work.
We also know that many families are spread out all over the country. Just because you are far away does not mean you are any less connected or concerned about your aging loved one. We are committed to keeping long-distance family members in the loop so that they are part of the network and part of the care plan.
