Visiting Angels Answers Your Most Pressing Questions About At-Home Care for the Elderly in Lynchburg, Amherst, Campbell County, and Surrounding Areas

Our agency understands how daunting it can be when trying to find the right care for an aging loved one. We hope this page answers some of the questions you may have.

What Is Aging in Place?

Many seniors nowadays are choosing to age in place throughout their golden years. Aging in place simply means growing old in the comfort of one’s home. Seniors who choose to age in place often require assistance from caregivers to avoid relocation to a residential facility like a nursing home. At-home care for the elderly can help seniors with daily tasks, personal care, mild housekeeping, transportation, and more.

What Kind of Services Does Visiting Angels of Lynchburg Offer?

At Visiting Angels of Lynchburg, we offer a variety of different services that are customizable to fit the needs of each individual client.

When Can Care Begin?

Before care can start, we suggest you and your loved one set up a free, in-home consultation. One of our care coordinators will come to your loved one’s home to talk about scheduling, care requirements, and personal care, and answer any questions you and your loved one might have. After this free, no-obligation consultation, care can generally begin within two days. However, in some cases, at-home care for the elderly can begin on the same day as the consultation.

Can Visiting Angels of Lynchburg Provide Care to Seniors in Assisted Living?

Absolutely, we can provide at-home care for the elderly anywhere you need it. Many families often find that assisted living facilities do not provide the assistance their loved one requires. When this is the case, we send a compassionate and professional caregiver to help your loved one stay independent in assisted living.

Can I Change the Care Schedule?

Changing the care schedule is easy, even if you already have appointments scheduled. We believe in making our schedule work for you, not the other way around. Just try to let us know a week in advance if you must make a change to your loved one’s schedule.
