Home Care in Stonecrest, GA

Most seniors in Stonecrest would rather stay in their own homes than move into a nursing home or assisted living, and their families tell us when they call Visiting Angels that they want to help them do exactly that. Their challenge is figuring out how that can be done when adult children may have busy lives, or live across town and can’t be their primary caretaker.

Visiting Angels provides non-medical home care services to seniors in Stonecrest since 2018. Our home care can be scheduled for a few hours a week, daily visits or around the clock depending on what your loved one needs.

What Our Stonecrest Caregivers Help With

Home caregivers take on practical tasks like light housekeeping, laundry, preparing meals and running errands like grocery runs to Kroger. But we can also drive clients to their medical appointments too so a son or daughter doesn’t have to burn vacation days getting their mom to Emory Hillandale Hospital and back.

Our caregivers also provide delicate, hands-on assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting and help moving safely around the house. We are trained to handle tasks of this nature in a way that protects the client’s dignity.

When loneliness wears on a senior, our caregivers keep them company during meals so they’re not eating alone every day, sitting and talking through old photo albums or just enjoying casual conversation to pass the time.

For clients with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, we provide memory care from caregivers trained specifically for these conditions to include wandering prevention, routine and close monitoring at home. We’ve been invited to visit clients wherever they reside, including inside memory care facilities, to provide one-on-one attention they might otherwise not receive.

In brief, here are all of the types of home care services provided by Visiting Angels to Stonecrest seniors:

Local Home Care Agency Run by a Nurse

Our local home care agency is owned and directed by Liliane Monthe, a registered nurse. She opened Visiting Angels after seeing up close what attentive caregiving can do for an older person.

Every caregiver we send is an employee of our agency, not an independent contractor. They are background-checked, trained and supervised for as long as they work with your family. We’re also a member of the Home Care Association of America.

Giving Family Caregivers a Break

One of the most common ways that families utilize Visiting Angels if for our Respite services, rather than taking over completely. If you’ve been the person handling everything for your elderly parent or spouse, a caregiver who comes a few afternoons per week gives you time to work, rest or handle your own household. It is perfectly normal to need some relief from caretaking, and we are happy to fill your shoes temporarily if need be!

Flexible Care Plans for Changing Needs

The first step is a free, in-home consultation with a care coordinator from Visiting Angels. We come out, meet your loved one, talk through the home care needs and take a look at the residence itself for fall risks or anything else worth addressing. For most clients, care can begin within about 48-72 hours of that consultation.

Matching caregivers to a client matters greatly to us. We like to get a sense of your loved one’s personality, routines and preferences so we can pick a caregiver that we believe to be a great fit. When the match works, clients look forward to their visits instead of simply tolerating them.

Once you approve a care plan, it’s important that you know it is not “locked in”. By that, we mean that we can adjust the hours, services or schedule as a person’s situation changes. Whether that is adding overnight coverage after a hospital stay or scaling things back if a family member or friend wants to take over. Because care plans are flexible, you would not need to look for a new agency every time something shifts.
