Visiting Angels helps seniors and their families find helpful local resources that support healthy, independent living in Monroe, Temperance, Grosse Ile, and the surrounding areas of Michigan

There are many changes that come with aging, some of which bring new challenges to families. You may suddenly find yourself as the primary caregiver for a spouse, parent, or other relative. Whether you need assistance caring for a loved one or are simply looking for support and resources to enrich your loved one's senior year, Visiting Angels can help.

At Visiting Angels of Monroe, we take a holistic approach to senior care. We understand that meeting the physical needs of our senior clients is important to their overall health and safety. However, in order for aging adults to be truly well - to live fulfilling lives and have rewarding experiences - caring for their social, emotional, and mental wellness is essential as well. Depending on your loved one's condition and abilities, they may need some support in order to enjoy a high quality of life.
