Seniors often have a preference for living at home. The question that arises is how they will get the help they need to do so. Thanks to in-home care, which is available from Visiting Angels^® Forney, you can make sure your loved one has well-rounded support with their decision to age in place.

The initial step to learning more about care or setting up support for your loved one is to meet with us for a consultation. Our in-home care consultations are free, and they are typically provided in the comfort of seniors' homes. We look forward to meeting you and your loved one and filling you in on all the ways we can help them preserve their independence as they age!

Common In-Home Care Topics

Our initial consultations are chock full of information and are a great time to ask questions about your loved one's care options. We will cover details ranging from logistics to your loved one's preferred bedtime. Moreover, we will start building a personal relationship with them and gather information about their personality and preferences so that we can help them live more fully at home.

Below are some of the topics a care coordinator can cover with you during your loved one's consultation in Forney:

• Direct physical care 
  If your loved one needs a helping hand or mobility assistance, we can offer services such as walking support, help with showering and grooming, and assistance with housekeeping.
  
  
• Emotional support and socialization
  If your loved one feels lonely, their caregiver can be a comforting source of companionship. We can talk with them about their favorite hobbies and pastimes to suggest ways in which their caregiver can provide the camaraderie they need.
  
  
• In-home care scheduling 
  It is important to discuss our process for scheduling care. First, we will help tailor a regular schedule of care visits according to your loved one's routine. Then, we will explain how you can schedule visits for them as needed and deal with rescheduling.
  
  
• Logistical aspects of caregiving 
  We can also go in-depth about the logistical side of providing care in the Forney area, including any documentation that needs to be filled out and how your loved one's caregiver will access their home. 

After your consultation is complete and your loved one's care plan has been finalized, we can pair them with one of our caregivers and start helping them thrive at home!
