How Visiting Angels Roswell Senior Home Care Can Help With Long Distance Caregiving

Long-distance caregiving refers to when senior home care services are provided to loved ones who live far from their family. The most prevalent example of this is parents retiring in states with warmer weather. Oftentimes, relocation isn’t a viable option, so long-distance caregiving provides a solution.

At Visiting Angels Roswell, we understand that loved ones may not live close to their family. It isn’t uncommon for adult children to also leave the area to pursue a career or even retire themselves. Whatever the case may be, long-distance caregiving provides an avenue for your loved one to receive senior home care without you having to be there.

HOW TO BEGIN LONG-DISTANCE CAREGIVING

If your loved one doesn’t live close and is in need of care services, you can start by calling Visiting Angels to begin the process of setting up senior home care services from a distance. Our team will get you in contact with the office closest to your loved one.

This office will help you get started with our senior home care services by speaking with you over the phone to get an idea of your situation. Some things that may come up in this initial chat are:

• Your loved one’s location
• Your location
• Your loved one’s care needs
• The frequency of care needed
• How long care visits should last
• If your loved one will be involved in caregiving choices
• If your loved one has any chronic care conditions

After we speak with you and gather the necessary information, we will schedule a free, no-obligation meeting in your loved one’s home. The care coordinator will then go over that information with your loved one to see if he or she has any additional concerns.

The next step is to match your loved with a qualified caregiver so that we can provide the best possible care. Not only will the caregiver provide care when your loved one needs it, but he or she will also give feedback to the local office. The office will also be in touch with you, so you can feel secure knowing that your loved one’s needs will be met.

If you find yourself in a situation where a loved one lives far away but needs senior home care services, contact us.
