Home Care Services in Savannah, GA

Most seniors will tell you the same thing when you ask where they want to spend their later years. Home. Their own home, with their own things, their own routines. Visiting Angels in Savannah has been helping families make that happen for over 12 years now.

We've seen just about every kind of situation that local families here in Savannah have to face when caring for aging parents or relatives. Sometimes it's just needing a bit of help around the house. Other times it's more complex care but that doesn't necessarily require a nursing home. That's where our caregivers come in.

Practical Tasks Our Caregivers Help With

Some clients need help with personal care like bathing, getting dressed, grooming. Others are doing fine with that but need medication reminders or help getting to appointments. A lot of families call us because their loved one isn't eating well anymore or the house is getting harder to keep up with.

Our caregivers can handle light housekeeping, laundry, and vacuuming. They'll do grocery shopping and meal preparation. If your mom or dad needs help walking or transferring from bed to wheelchair, we've got caregivers trained for that too. Transportation to doctor appointments is a big one. Companionship and just having someone there who cares, that matters more than people realize.

The care plan we put together during your free consultation covers all of this. We come to your loved one's home, sit down with the family, talk through what's needed and what's not. Then we work out a plan that fits both the care needs and the budget.

 

Home Care to Match Your Needs

Our job is figuring out exactly what your loved one needs and then matching them with the right caregiver. The owners of Visiting Angels here in Savannah have built something pretty special in this home care agency. The focus has always been on finding caregivers who actually enjoy this work, not just people looking for any job. Makes a huge difference.

Take Tracy, for instance. She's one of our caregivers who works with this client’s elderly father….

Why Families in Savannah Call Visiting Angels

One family told us they had been using a different home care company before switching to Visiting Angels. The difference between Visiting Angels and other senior care companies in Savannah is that we’re not trying to sell you more hours than you need. We want to figure out what actually helps your family, like this one:

Keeping Savannah Seniors Independent at Home

If you're interested in home care services for your elderly loved one, give us a call to schedule a free, no-obligation initial consultation. We'll set up a time to visit the prospective client, talk through what services can help and put together a customized care plan with cost information for you.

Once care starts, we don't just disappear and hope everything goes well. We check in regularly with both the client and the family. Phone calls to see how things are going, whether the caregiver is the right fit, if anything needs adjusting.

All our caregivers go through background checks before they ever meet a client. That's just standard procedure. But beyond that, our caregivers have the right personality for this work. You can teach someone how to properly assist with bathing or mobility, but you can't teach someone to genuinely care about the people they're helping. We enjoy what we do helping seniors stay independent, stay in their homes, maintain their dignity and routines.

Questions Families Often Ask

Can we request the same caregiver every time or does it need to rotate?
We try to match clients with one primary caregiver to visit regularly. That's how we can build strong relationships between seniors and their caregiver. Sometimes we'll have a backup caregiver who fills in when your main Visiting Angels is sick or on vacation.

Our neighborhood is just outside of Savannah. Do you visit nearby cities?
Yes, we serve Savannah and the surrounding communities like Port Wentworth, Garden City, Pooler. Families from all over the area end up finding us, usually through word of mouth.

Does insurance or Medicare cover any of this?
Unfortunately, Visiting Angels does not accept Medicare and health insurances don’t cover home care services. Though there are certain long-term insurance plans that will include benefits toward the cost of home care services. We can help you find out. Most clients pay out-of-pocket using their savings.
