Long Term Care in Chelsea, MA and Surrounding Areas
During the aging process, many seniors reach a point where they can no longer reliably care for themselves. When this occurs, many families feel great anxiety as they look for senior care providers to look after their loved ones. Many people initially jump to the idea of moving their loved one into a nursing home or assisted living facility, but these places can be expensive and unable to meet your loved one’s needs.
As a long-term home care agency, Visiting Angels of Chelsea can send a professional caregiver to your loved one’s home to provide them with all the non-medical assistance they need to stay safe, healthy, and comfortable. With the help of our long-term caregivers, your loved one can continue to reside in their home in East Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, Revere, Charlestown, or Chelsea while still receiving professional care.

24-Hour Care Options
Live-in or 24-hour care plans can also be a great option for seniors who are recovering from a hospital stay or undergoing rehabilitative treatment.

Affording Long-Term Care
Most commonly, clients pay for long-term care out of pocket, but Medicaid offers financial assistance in select cases where the senior meets certain criteria. Veteran and other long-term care insurance options can also potentially help your loved one afford care. Our team is happy to help explain payment options and give you more information about the costs of care.
