Our services are specially designed to assure compassionate, friendly support with a wide range of daily life activities, keeping our clients safe and secure while living at home.

Q: What does the term "aging in place" mean?

A: The vast majority of seniors wish to remain at home throughout their golden years, and that is what the term “aging in place” refers to, regardless of any circumstances that may prove this to be difficult. Aging in place with the use of our home care agency is the opposite of institutional residential care like a nursing home. However, many times, we also provide on-site assistance for clients who do live in an assisted living facility as well.

Q: Do you provide services in assisted living facilities?

A:  Yes, indeed we do. Unfortunately, the care provided in an assisted living facility is often limited and does not ensure enough aid to remain independent. Yet, by providing a skilled Visiting Angels of Pottstown caregiver, we can make sure that your loved ones get the care they need.

Q: How quickly can home care services be provided/started?

A:  In general, services can begin within 48 hours.

Q: Can I change the schedule if I have appointments to keep?

A: As a home care agency, we strive to give clients and families a schedule that suits their needs. In fact, our philosophy is, you come first! However, we do require a one-week notice to make changes to any home care services.

Q: How do I start with Visiting Angels of Pottstown?

A: Once you contact us, we will schedule a free in home assessment to better understand your loved one’s needs. Should you choose to begin services, we will match your loved one with a caregiver who has the skills, personality, and availability to assist your family.
