We all want to stay as independent as possible as long as possible as we age. Most of us don’t want to leave our homes. Often there’s a gap between our desires and our reality and that gap often boils down to ‘safety’ or lack thereof. It’s in the perception of that safety net that typically causes a rift between loved ones and family members.

It’s difficult to care for a loved one, especially when you work, live far away, and/or have children that require care and attention. And as your aging parents’ needs and demands increase, you can’t always be on call 24/7 to help them. You may try to schedule regular visits from caregivers and family members to attend to their needs.

A complete home care assessment is an essential step when coordinating care for an elderly loved one. Before starting care, Visiting Angels meets with every potential client for an in-depth discussion of their care needs. This allows us to carefully tailor our services to each client's specific care concerns and challenges.
