Companion Care Services by Visiting Angels
Taking care of an aging parent or other loved one or caring for a disabled adult child can be the most rewarding, but also stressful, endeavor anyone can undertake.
There are so many things that can get in the way of this care.
- You have to work.
- You have kids that also need you.
- You have your own life.
- You live far away, and you don’t want them to have the stress of moving away from everything they know.
For some people, there is a weight to this decision because they feel like it is their duty to provide all of the support to a parent who may have given their all to them. However, just like your parent had help with you, from babysitters to school to other family members who could help, no matter what you decide, you will need your own support team to stay strong for your loved one.
You have some choices here:
On the one hand, you can move your loved one into an assisted living facility. For some, this is a good choice. However, for many, this is seen as a last resort, especially since there are health benefits for seniors who stay in places they are most familiar, like their own homes, and/or surrounded by the people they love.
A second choice would be to find an in-home caregiver who can care for them in the home.
Another option would be to care for them yourself, but even then, you will need breaks to stay fresh, time for other parts of your life, and moments when you just cannot be there.
Whether you need full-time, part-time, or respite caregiver help, Visiting Angels of Lincoln is here to help.
Companion Caregivers at Visiting Angels of Lincoln
When we hire a new team member at Visiting Angels of Lincoln, we know it will be easy to find someone capable of performing most of the services we offer. However, that is not all that we look for in our caregivers.
The word care has multiple meanings:
- Attention to detail
- Support for the health and safety of someone or something
- Look after
- Like and enjoy being around
When we provide you or your loved one with one of our team members, we make sure that they will be a caregiver no matter which definition of care you use.
Homecare Is in the Details
We look for people who are going to be dedicated to their job, and this means more than just skilled in the duties. It’s going to be someone who prides themselves on doing the job completely and correctly.
Skilled in Senior Care
Another consideration we take is their experience. We conduct background checks and reference checks not only to make sure the person coming into your home or the home of your loved one is safe, but also to make sure they have the skills to take care of your loved one’s non-medical health and safety needs.
In-Home Care
Because of our drug and rigorous background checks, you can feel safe that whoever is in your home will look after your loved one just like you would.
Companion Care
Perhaps the most important definition of care, though, is the final one: like and enjoy being around. Your loved one does not want to feel like a chore someone is completing. They want someone who wants to be there with them, thus the importance of companion care.
It can be harder to stay social as we age, and loneliness can affect seniors’ mental, physical, and emotional health. This is why Visiting Angels of Lincoln takes personalities into account when we make a match.
We will give you a few choices of a caregiver we think will get along well with your loved one, and they will be able to decide who they get along with the best.
Our caregivers are there to listen to your loved one, spend time with them, and truly enjoy being with them.
So no matter how you define the word, our caregivers care for your loved one.
To learn more about how we can help you, please call us. We would love to answer your questions and/or set up a free consultation with you and your loved one in the comfort of your home.
