Home Care Katy, TX

Looking for an in-home senior care in the Katy area? Discover why families throughout Katy and the Northwest Houston area are turning to Visiting Angels for in-home care for their seniors.

Why Home Care?

Limitations due to aging, illness, or injury can have an impact on how a senior lives. Simple tasks like getting ready for the day, cleaning up the house, running errands, or preparing meals can be challenging for our senior loved ones.

Sometimes spouses, children, or family friends can chip in to help, but this is not always a long-term solution. So families are faced with a challenging choice of how to care for their loved one while helping them live independently.

Fortunately, in-home care can provide the necessary assistance to your senior family member so they can remain in their home living independently. Our experienced, vetted caregivers can assist with activities of daily living, providing peace of mind to family members that their loved one is in good hands.

"Visiting Angels was fantastic. We first met with Nathalie who had a lot of important questions to ask regarding my mother-in-law who needed someone to watch her. Nathalie was professional and compassionate. Pam was the caregiver who was assigned to watch my mother-in-law.

Pam was more than we could have ever hoped for. She developed a true friendship with my mother-in-law along with doing all of the tasks that needed to be done.

I could see a difference in my mother-in-law. She looked forward to Pam's arrival and they engaged in conversations all day long.

I would highly recommend Nathalie, Pam, and Visiting Angels. They took what was a high stress situation of my mother-in-law's declining health/memory and took away the stress for us."

Home Care: An Alternative to Assisted Living in Katy

As families look for options on getting the right care for Mom or Dad, one common choice is an assisted living or memory care facility. While there are a lot of excellent assisted living facilities in and around Katy, not every senior needs this type of transition. Nor do they want it.

For many seniors, they desire to age in place and remain in their home for as long as possible. With in-home senior care by Visiting Angels, an aging senior can stay in their home longer, families can save on the expenses that an assisted living facility can charge, and the senior can be happier living independently for a longer time.

Home Health Care in Katy, TX

There can be confusion as to the difference between a home health care agency and a home care agency. As we cover in our article What’s the Difference Between Home Care and Home Health Care in Katy?, home health care is usually prescribed, specialized care ordered by a physician to aid in helping recover from an injury or illness. Home health care agencies only assist seniors for a short while on their recovery journey, and do not assist around the house.

In contrast, a non-medical home care agency can help a senior in plenty of other areas - from getting changed, running errands, tidying up the house, and much more. Home care agencies can be scheduled a few hours a day all the way to around the clock coverage. And home care can assist with home health care to ensure the senior is recovering well, taking their medication, and doing their assigned workouts.

Caring for Veterans in Katy

Did you know that qualifying veterans and their surviving spouses can use veteran benefits to pay for in-home care? For many, this can greatly reduce the cost of home care, or even eliminate it. Our team can help you apply for and receive VA benefits to cover your veteran home care.
