How We Make Aging in Place in Greenwich Possible

At Visiting Angels Stamford, we know that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work well with elderly care. Each of our clients has a unique set of needs, daily schedule, and involvement from family members. We take all of this into consideration when creating your loved one's care plan and schedule. Our personalized approach also makes our care more affordable. You will only be charged for the services and visits your loved one absolutely needs, rather than subscribing to an overly broad plan.

Our team always creates a care plan that is tailored to the individual client's needs. During your initial consultation, we will gather detailed information about their health, care needs, and the challenges they are facing with independent living. This information will help us discern which services will help your loved one age in place. Our caregivers are committed to providing the exact care and assistance your loved one needs to live a fulfilling lifestyle at home.

Another aspect of your loved one's care plan is their schedule of caregiver visits. This is also a place where our personalized approach comes into play. Our caregivers are available around the clock, meaning your loved one can receive care at any time. We are happy to provide care in both part-time and full-time schedules. Our caregivers often work with family caregivers, and we can step in at any time to give them a much-needed break.

As your loved one continues to age, their care needs may change. Whether they have decreasing mobility, increasing forgetfulness, or are recovering from an injury, they may need more care. Our team is committed to meeting the needs of our clients at all times. We can add additional care services to your loved one's plan and increase or decrease caregiver visits as needed.

Once your loved one's care plan has been created, we will work to pair them with one of our talented caregivers. This initial pairing will be made based on your loved one's care needs, personality, and schedule. We want each of our clients to feel at ease with their caregivers. Our caregivers are compassionate and often treat their clients as family members.
