Looking for Holistic Comfort Care in St. Peter’s, MO for Your Loved One?

How We Coordinate Comfort Care in St. Peter’s Between Family Caregivers and Professional Caregivers

Finding the right comfort care for your loved one not only depends on finding the right expertise, but also on finding the right partner for your loved one and your whole family. At Visiting Angels of St. Peters, we include family caregivers, community volunteers, and other parts of your loved one’s support system into the in home care plan we provide because we know that every person in your loved one’s life is important to their wellbeing.

Family caregivers impact a lot of pieces in your loved one’s care plan, including:

• Responsibilities: We know that family members, friends, neighbors, and others help care for your aging loved one in many ways. Our care plan is designed to be holistic, and when some tasks or needs are being taken care of by other caregivers, we are happy to coordinate those responsibilities with your family and friends.
• Scheduling: Whether comfort care is needed for just a few hours a week or 24/7 for your loved one, we will coordinate with family caregivers to make sure the schedule we set for your loved one’s senior care plan works for your family, too.
• Companionship: Companion care is the heart of our care services, because social connection has many positive outcomes for all parts of individual health. Social activity decreases loneliness, isolation, depression, and more. Your family, friends, church members, and neighbors are all important in the companionship of your loved one over time.
• Respite care needs: When family caregivers need to step away, whether it is for a weekend, holiday, or any everyday need, our caregivers are happy to fill those gaps. We will coordinate with your family to be sure of any respite care needs you might have.

We provide flexibility of comfort care for your loved one, meaning that as their needs evolve, so does their home care plan. Feedback from family members is an important way that we can learn more about what your loved one’s needs are and how they change. We can also coordinate with medical providers, physical therapists, dietitians, and other experts who work with your loved one to be sure the care plan incorporates all parts of their physical, mental, emotional, and social health.
