Benefits of Choosing a Professional Home Care Agency

Benefits of Choosing a Professional Home Care Agency

Home care is quickly becoming the preferred senior living option for many aging adults. As an alternative to assisted living facilities and nursing homes, in-home care allows seniors to remain in the comfort and safety of home while receiving the daily living assistance they need.

If your parent or other senior loved one has expressed that they too want to stay in their home, you’re likely searching for a reputable, trustworthy, and experienced home care provider. By choosing a professional home care agency such as Visiting Angels Dallas, you can rely on the quality of our services and dependability of our caregivers.

Making Home Care a Reality

Your family may understand that Mom or Dad wants to stay in their home as they age, but you may not know how to finance this type of care. As a non-medical home care agency, Visiting Angels services are not covered by Medicaid, Medicare, or traditional health insurance policies. There are options for families to finance their loved one’s senior home care services:

Long Term Care Insurance

This type of insurance policy is specially designed to help adults pay for companion care services later in life. A long term care insurance policy is typically taken out by middle-aged adults who are planning for their senior years – so your parent may have a policy that you are unaware of.

Talk with your loved one, their Power of Attorney, or their insurance broker to determine if this type of policy has been established. If your loved one has long term care insurance, their provider will be able to detail what services are covered and to what amount.

Privately, Out of Pocket

Senior and their families can choose to pay privately for in-home care services from savings, income, or by sharing expenses. The cost of care depends largely on the type of care your loved one needs as well as the schedule on which care will be provided.

Once we’ve completed your loved one’s care plan and identified what services are needed, we will be able to give you a clear cost of care. This can help your family plan and prepare to have your loved one’s care begin at home.

Choosing the Right Provider

As a certified home care agency, Visiting Angels Dallas is able to provide reliable, compassionate, and professional senior care services to our community. Unlike independent providers, our caregivers are all licensed, bonded, and insured – which protects you and your family from any risk. Our caregivers are also carefully screened, background tested, and trained before joining our team.

By choosing Visiting Angels Dallas, you’re choosing to place your loved one’s care in the competent, experienced, and trustworthy hands of our agency. You can control your loved one’s schedule, making changes when necessary. You can focus on spending time with your parents as son or daughter, instead of being their caregiver or managing someone else.
