Senior Care for an Aging Portland Population
It's no secret that America is getting older. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, adults 65 or older comprise about 15 percent of the population. According to the Pew Research Center, 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day. As these numbers rise, Visiting Angels® Portland recognizes the need for skilled and compassionate senior care to assist in the well-being of elderly family members.
While the problem at hand may appear overwhelming, it doesn't have to be. A free consultation and in-home assessment with Visiting Angels Portland will provide you with customizable solutions that are flexible, affordable, and local! This means your loved one will receive their senior care with a personal touch from someone who knows the area and has the compassionate spirit you want for your loved one.
How Senior Care can Help
As adults age, their health changes may affect their ability to live independently and can have a major impact on your family's lifestyle. Small health changes may not seem like they would affect a senior's ability to live on his or her own, but they can. Or it may take just one major health issue to put a senior's independence in jeopardy. But small or large, the cumulative effects can have a major impact on your loved one and your family.
