With the aid of personal care, seniors can age in place even when they have a physical disability or difficult symptoms related to a chronic condition. At Visiting Angels^® Forney, we deliver this form of home care for elderly adults across the local community who struggle to perform essential activities on their own. Your loved one can receive help from a professional caregiver who will protect their independence and preserve their ability to live at home for longer.

We realize that maintaining a life at home is crucial for elderly adults, and our caregiving services in this category can offer a huge help to seniors in difficult situations. Your loved one can benefit from high-quality physical assistance as well as loving companionship when your family gets started with our services.

What is Personal Care?

Also frequently called private duty care, personal care is one of the most commonly requested forms of home care that our local agency offers. In short, this form of caregiving is ideal for elderly adults who have been diagnosed with a chronic condition or whose mobility is limited due to a disability or age-related complication. Care plans in this category commonly cover assistance with a combination of activities and essential routines. Above all, they are designed to promote the safety of the senior while also uplifting their well-being and helping them stay comfortable.

Here are examples of services from Visiting Angels Forney that are commonly delivered under the name of personal care:

• A helping hand with grooming
• Support with getting dressed
• Respectful assistance with showering
• Aid with using the restroom
• Taking care of errands and shopping
• Transport to appointments with doctors
• Preparing meals and doing light chores
• Providing companionship and conversation

It should be noted that although this care type includes many of the same care services as companion care, it differs by also covering needs for physical assistance. If you're uncertain whether personal caregiving or companion care is ideal for your loved one in the Forney area, we can help you make this decision during a free consultation.
