Home Care in Portage with Visiting Angels

Visiting Angels home care provider in Portage with patient

Located in Kalamazoo County, Portage is the site of Pfizer’s largest manufacturing facility. In fact, the U.S. government prepped millions of doses of the coronavirus vaccine there in 2020 for shipment across the nation.

The city of Portage prides itself on being a family-oriented area combining the convenience of an urban lifestyle with that of a close-knit friendly community. Portage’s motto is “A Natural Place to Move!” paying homage to its many beautiful natural resources, parks, nature preserves, bike-ways, and multi-use trails.

During the warmer months, the weekly Portage Farmers Market is a terrific place to pick up fresh meat and eggs, locally grown produce, and baked goods. All of its vendors are located within a 50-mile radius of Portage, an area known for its rich soil, which earned Portage the distinction of being the “Celery City” of the nation for its prolific celery production until the middle of the twentieth century.

How We Care For Seniors In Portage

Locally owned and operated, Visiting Angels provides in-home care services to the growing senior population in Portage, MI, keeping them in their homes and community and out of expensive assisted living facilities.

Our personalized service begins with a free, comprehensive assessment of your elderly loved one’s needs so that we can develop a home care plan that will help them continue to live in their Portage home.

Whether your elderly loved one needs just a few hours of in-home care a day, 24/7 care, or falls somewhere in between, our flexible approach allows us to create a customized in-home care plan to meet the needs of your senior and your family.

Seniors often face specific age-related challenges that many seniors face during their daily lives. Our personal care services include a variety of day-to-day activities, including help with bathing and dressing, toileting, meal preparation, light housekeeping, transportation and errands, medication reminders, and more.

One of the major concerns associated with aging is the risk of depression due to loneliness and isolation. Our companion care services benefit seniors in Portage who live alone or far away from their families and friends. If your elderly loved one is able to travel, we can provide transportation to the Portage Zhang Senior Center which provides many services for adults aged 50 and older, including fitness classes, wellness programs, support groups, trips and special events, and more.

After a trip to the hospital, many older adults are at risk for readmission; in fact, an average of 1 in 5 Medicare beneficiaries are readmitted within 30 days of leaving the hospital. Visiting Angels designed a transitional care program to help reduce the risk of preventable events or mishaps that would cause a return trip to the hospital.

Visiting Angels respite care offers a way of providing much needed relief to families who provide care to their elderly loved ones. This plan can help avoid caregiver burnout and provide a higher quality of life for your loved one as well as for everyone in the family.

For those suffering from memory issues, our Alzheimer’s care and Dementia care programs can provide a way to allow them to stay in their familiar and comfortable surroundings during a time when they need it most. These programs are adaptable and can be changed as often as needed as we know that each day can look different for someone living with a memory-related disease.
