Home Care in Smyrna and Surrounding Area

With our flexible home care for seniors in the Smyrna area, here at Visiting Angels Dover, we provide a great alternative to the assisted care facility. The goal of the service is to make sure seniors can get the help and companionship they need without being forced to leave their own home. We provide in-home assistance to make their home safer, easier, and more comfortable.

We have different care options that are all provided by fully vetted caregivers. We conduct extensive background checks on all staff, so you never have to worry about a thing. We only select caring and honest people with the right senior care qualifications. We are dedicated to not only creating safer home environments but also to bringing a positive, uplifting presence into your loved one's home.

About Our Home Care Assistance

Mental health is very important, especially for seniors. Living in their own home can provide them with some wonderful emotional benefits. They get to enjoy more privacy, comfort, and control over their daily life. Helping your loved one retain this living situation and avoid moving to a care facility is one of the best gifts you can give them. We are proud to offer this kind of flexible care. Some of our services include:

• Bathing and toileting support
• Help with mobility and transportation
• Increased home safety and fall prevention
• Reminders to take their meds
• Housework, meal planning, and errands
• And much more!

You will be able to take breaks from providing care on your own and attend to other areas in your life. Most importantly, you will be able to do this without feeling guilty. You can always trust our caregivers to provide respectful and attentive care.
