10 Benefits of 24-Hour Home Care

If you have a loved one recently diagnosed with a chronic health condition or a physical or emotional limitation, you may not know where to start regarding care for them. Should you do it yourself? Should they move to a care facility or nursing home? These are valid questions but not the only options. Visiting Angels is a home care agency that provides care wherever your loved one is and feels most comfortable. 

There are many benefits to using Visiting Angels Murrieta 24-hour care services; these services offer clients care day or night in the home.

Why Choose Visiting Angels 24-Hour Home Care?

Seniors have many health issues that can make day-to-day living difficult. Conditions like poor eyesight, mobility problems, memory issues, and deteriorating health issues are the most common. At home, caregivers can assist with the day-to-day tasks around the house while also providing companionship.  

Here are ten benefits of 24-hour home care:

1. Safety
   Caregivers from Visiting Angels have been appropriately vetted and trained. This is important so that our clients and their families feel safe working with us. Our team of care providers is skilled in identifying fall risks and any other potential household hazards for seniors.
   
2. Personalized Care
   Visiting Angels provide all clients with the highest level of personal care. Their caregiver will assist with their meals, activities, and other requests to fit their needs and desires.
   
3. Affordability
   Our services are customized to precisely what your loved one needs, which means we charge you only for what is truly needed.  Visiting Angels offers reliable, affordable home care services. This is a benefit of 24 hour home care.
   
4. Independence
   You never need to be concerned with your loved one losing their independence with a Visiting Angels caregiver. Caregivers are there to assist as needed while encouraging your loved ones to stay independent to the best of their ability. 
   
5. Lifestyle maintenance
   In a care facility, seniors will have to adjust to a new lifestyle, including their surroundings, people, and schedules. Seniors can benefit from 24 hour home care by not changing anything in their lifestyle and plans. They can receive care in their home and continue to live day to day the way they would like to. 
   
6. Friends and Family Support
   If your loved one is in a care facility or nursing home, they must abide by the preset visiting hours. This is not how it is done with Visiting Angels-- with our services, we offer home care in the home, leaving your loved one to have friends and family visit whenever they desire. 
   
7. Companionship
   While receiving physical assistance, seniors are also receiving companionship. Caregivers are available to provide emotional support as well as one-to-one companion care. Caregivers offer aid to help fight against loneliness. 
   
8. Transportation Assistance 
   When your loved one needs to get to a doctor's appointment, grocery store visit, and other out-of-home activities, they can rely on a caregiver to get them there safely. 
   
9. Respite Care for Family Caregivers
   Often when providing care, family and friends tend to become overwhelmed and neglect their personal needs. Visiting Angel's 24 hour home care gives these friends and family members the respite care they need. Caregivers can take over duties while family and friends take time away from themselves. 
   
10. Assistance with Chores
    Everyday chores around the home can become difficult for seniors to complete independently when they are suffering from chronic health conditions or physical or emotional limitations. With 24 hour care, a provider can assist with these chores while keeping the home tidy.
    

Home Assessments for 24-Hour care

When you decide to work with Visiting Angels, the first step will be an in-home assessment. A care director will listen and learn about your loved ones and their care needs during this assessment. Afterward, they will use the information from this meeting to create a unique care plan. You and your loved one will then be given access to our Select Your Caregiver® program, which lets you vet potential caregivers. 

If these benefits sound like they could be helpful for your loved one, call your local Visiting Angels today. We are a company of highly skilled and qualified individuals that have made it our life work to serve our community of seniors. Take the first step with a home care assessment.
