Our in-home senior care services help seniors get the support they need to age in place in their own homes while giving family caregivers peace of mind.

Visiting Angels Fort Smith is a trusted resource for many families in Fort Smith, Greenwood, Alma, Van Buren, and throughout the greater River Valley area of Arkansas. With the help of our caregivers, seniors may get individualized, one-on-one support with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

How Do Seniors in Fort Smith and Nearby Areas Benefit from Home Care?

More and more seniors in the River Valley area are starting to prefer aging in place rather than relocating to assisted living facilities and nursing homes because they're able to follow their own routine and go at their own pace. Furthermore, aging in place allows seniors to remain in the home where they've built warm, happy memories with loved ones over the years.

However, age-related mobility and cognitive issues can make independent living difficult. Your loved one may be fine living on their own currently, but over time, they may forget to turn the stove off, have trouble folding laundry because it hurts their wrists, or not be able to drive themselves because they struggle with clearly seeing other vehicles on the road. In circumstances like these, family members often step up and assume caregiving responsibilities. But it can be difficult for family caregivers to focus on other priorities in their life when caring for an elderly loved one. This is especially true for families who live outside the River Valley area and may not always be able to assist their loved ones.

Professional in-home senior care services can help older adults who are aging in place remain safe and comfortable by providing assistance with ADLs and a caring presence to keep an eye on seniors to ensure their well-being. Hiring a caregiver can also give families peace of mind knowing someone will always be there. At Visiting Angels Fort Smith, our goal has always been to help seniors remain independent and provide the support they need to live out their golden years in the comfort of home for as long as they wish.
