Did you know your loved one can stay at home even if they have a physical disability or chronic condition? Personal care from Visiting Angels Durham makes this possible by offering crucial assistance as seniors complete their daily activities. Thanks to a care provider from our local agency, your loved one can maintain their independence and stay safe while avoiding moving into a care facility.

We know how vital the familiarity of a home can be for elderly adults. If you have a loved one concerned about losing their autonomy or struggling with basic tasks, we can ensure they can age in place and receive the help they crave.

Personal care, commonly called private duty care, is one of the popular types of senior care available from Visiting Angels Durham. These home care services are generally reserved for elderly adults with chronic health conditions or severe mobility limitations. A wide range of tasks and activities may be included in care, all to improve the quality of life, safety, and comfort of the person receiving the care.

This kind of care prioritizes assistance with ADLs (Activities of Daily Living). In this respect, Personal care differs from other types of home care, including companion care. Personal caregivers can offer direct physical assistance to their care recipients, which companion caregivers do not routinely do.

For a better understanding of what services fall into this category, check the list below:

• Assistance with running errands
• Meal preparation and light chores
• Walking assistance and fall prevention
• Support with grooming and bathing
• Aid with using the restroom
• Help with getting dressed safely
• Companionship and camaraderie
• Reminders to take medications
• Mobility and walking assistance
