Home Care in Springfield, MO
It’s been demonstrated repeatedly that adult home care is better for individuals than moving into an assisted care facility or nursing home. However, before selecting a service to provide senior care, it’s important to ask some questions.
Visiting Angels Is the Home Care Agency for Your Aging Loved One in Springfield, MO, and the Surrounding Areas
Since there are different levels of care available, patients and their families should first evaluate the types of care necessary. Once an individual’s needs are determined, making decisions about hiring adult home care agencies in Springfield is far easier. Discussing the following questions is a great first step in deciding what type of care is needed.
Can Family Members Provide Adequate Care for the Loved One?
While family members may be able to provide some level of care, is the arrangement really the best for everyone involved? If the answer is no, Visiting Angels may be a better senior care alternative.
Is Everyone Comfortable Letting Someone into the Home to Provide Care?
Most people are comfortable letting home care service aides into their homes once they become familiar with the caregiver. Trust is important, and it takes time and familiarity to build a comfortable level of trust. Our staff members strive to build that trust with every visit.
How Often Is Care Necessary?
Elderly care needs are different for everyone. Some patients require only a few services, and their needs can easily be met with a few hours of help per week. Others require several hours of care every day to ensure their needs are met. Regardless of the level of care required, Visiting Angels can meet those needs.

Since every patient’s needs are different, we provide a great deal of flexibility to make sure every client gets the services they need to stay in their own home comfortably and safely.
