Personal Care for Seniors in Woodstock

Visiting Angels understands how important it is for senior citizens to feel comfortable at home. But managing daily tasks requires effort that can become difficult as we age, particularly for those with mobility challenges. If your aging loved one is concerned about losing their independence, but finds themselves struggling with day-to-day activities, they may require assistance to age in place on their own terms.

Personal home care with Visiting Angels of Crystal Lake allows seniors living with a physical disability or a chronic illness to remain in their own homes rather than needing to be placed in a care facility. Personal care, sometimes referred to as private duty care, provides assistance with a variety of personal tasks such as dressing, bathing, and moving around. 

Helping Woodstock Residents Age at Home

Personal care services are most commonly provided to individuals with chronic health conditions, physical impairments, or motor difficulties. In addition to providing your loved one with safety, comfort, and well-being, personal caregivers from Visiting Angels of Crystal Lake help with a range of tasks and activities.

At its core, personal home care assists with activities of daily living, also known as ADLs. This often includes care such as:

• Dressing
• Grooming
• Bathing
• Toileting
• Mobility and transportation assistance

Our “Angels” can also assist with a number of other tasks, including meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and errand running. Additionally, we happily offer companionship and conversation, helping to minimize senior loneliness due to isolation.
