Get Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Home Care Services from Visiting Angels Richmond

Seniors who choose to “age in place” want to remain in their homes, rather than moving into a facility or retirement residence. Aging in place means remaining independent and maintaining their unique lifestyle while growing older. Seniors often want to stay in their familiar setting among the neighbors and pets they’ve grown to love. At Visiting Angels Richmond, our in-home senior care services enable clients to remain at home while getting help with daily tasks which might have become too difficult.

• Personal Care: We assist with meal planning and preparation; light housekeeping; errands, grocery shopping, and transportation to appointments; mobility assistance; medication reminders; and personal hygiene.
• Companion Care: We fulfill your loved one's needs for social interaction and emotional support.
• Social Care: We help seniors use modern technology like email, search engines, and video chat programs to stay in touch with friends and family.
• Memory Care: We provide in-home care for seniors living with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other forms of dementia. We assist with fall prevention, wandering prevention and sundown syndrome.

Sometimes our clients move into live-in facilities and realize that the care does not completely meet their needs, especially if the facility is at maximum capacity. Our caregivers can be present around-the-clock or for just a few hours a day to provide supplemental personal care and attention.

We’ll work with you to satisfy your care needs and answer your questions about our home care services. We’ll accommodate schedule changes and caregiver change requests. With our Select Your Caregiver program, you can be sure of a great fit. Although, if you believe the match is not quite right, you can request a different caregiver at any time, for any reason. We’ll modify care plans as needed when health conditions change. We strive to be flexible and communicative because our priority is to provide the best possible care for your loved one and you.
