Feeling the Caregiving Crunch? How a Caregiver in Norfolk Can Help

If you have a loved one who is approaching their senior years, it’s time to think about how you are going to provide for their care as they age. At Visiting Angels^® Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk, we encourage you to prepare for the caregiving crunch by getting started with a caregiver before your loved one’s needs intensify. Our professional caregiving team is prepared to offer comprehensive non-medical services for elderly adults throughout the Norfolk area, including those living in Portsmouth, Suffolk, and the surrounding communities. Read on to learn more about what the caregiving crunch is and how a care provider can help.

Finding a Caregiver for Your Loved One in Norfolk

The baby boomer generation is growing older, meaning there are more Americans than ever who are in need of care. In addition, people are living longer and are more likely to be living alone. Thus, the question is: Who will take care of the aging population of Americans in their elderly years?

This question is especially important if you have a parent, grandparent, or loved one who is struggling to complete daily tasks alone and relies on you or a family care provider to assist them with basic tasks. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your loved one’s needs or are concerned for his or her safety, in-home care is an option. A professional caregiver can support your loved one in Norfolk with day-to-day routines, allowing him or her to age in place for as long as possible. Rather than moving your loved one to an unfamiliar environment such as an assisted living facility or nursing home, they can remain where they feel most comfortable and at ease.

Finding a caregiver for your loved one doesn’t have to be difficult, especially if you work with a senior care agency like Visiting Angels Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk. After meeting with your loved one in person, we’ll choose a member of our talented team who has the necessary skills and appropriate scheduling availability to care for your loved one. You’ll have greater peace of mind knowing that our agency is fully bonded and insured and has already screened your loved one’s care provider.
