There are many different types of providers that can tend to your senior loved one’s needs. Some families choose nursing homes or communities for assisted living near Chelsea MA to care for their loved ones. However, many seniors understandably don’t want to leave their homes. 

If your loved one needs regular care but does not want to move away from home, you still have options! Did you know that it’s possible for your senior loved one to receive outstanding professional care in the comfort of their own home? Home care agencies like Visiting Angels provide seniors with non-medical in-home care to help them live comfortably and bring you and your family peace of mind. When choosing a homecare services agency, however, it’s important you choose one that can provide your loved one with the specific care they need. 

Identifying What Your Loved Ones Need

It’s important to determine the needs of your loved ones first before anything else. To determine the needs of your loved one, it’s best to speak with your loved one, your family any physicians who tend to your loved one. Once we know what your loved one needs, we can create a customized care program and match your loved one to the right caregiver. For seniors with specialized needs, we can provide palliative care, Alzheimer's care, dementia care, end-of-life care, and more.

As an example, let’s say that your senior loved one is dealing with mobility issues, has a hard time getting proper nutrition, and often forgets to take their prescribed medications. One of our Visiting Angels caregivers will first meet with you and your loved one to discuss these needs, and then devise a specialized approach to your loved one’s care. In this instance, your caregiver would most certainly include fall prevention and assistance for things for balance-intensive activities like bathing, toileting, and dressing. In addition, your loved one’s caretaker would help them cook and consume meals and provide them with reminders whenever it’s time to take a dose of their medication.
