Sometimes it's hard to know when a parent or grandparent needs help at home. Your loved one may start having more trouble with bathing, getting dressed, or using the bathroom. He or she might forget to take medicine or take it at the wrong times. Their refrigerator contains spoiled food. They lose weight because they skip meals. The house becomes messy. They seem lonely or sad. Any of these signs can indicate it’s time for home care.

Contact Us

Our trained caregivers visit the home to assist with everyday activities we take for granted when we’re younger like getting dressed or preparing supper. Care plans are flexible, so families can choose the schedule that works best whether it is a few hours a week, daily care or 24-hour care.

Building a Home Care Plan

We build individual care plans for each senior that we work with. That way, we can address their specific needs and preferences for an independent lifestyle. Because each client is different, our caregiver’s tasks are based on what the senior needs most:

• Activities like grooming and dressing
• Errand-running
• Time for medication reminders
• Cooking and eating
• Changing bed linens, laundry, folding clothes, ironing
• Lightly house clean
• Transfer individual from bed to wheelchair
• Help individual toilet or bathe themselves

This kind of one-on-one support helps older adults stay independent and confident at home. We carefully match seniors to a local, professional caregiver based on a range of factors discussed during your free home consultation. This method allows us to find an ideal fit for each client in the Sterling Heights area.

Benefits of Home Care Services

Home care services help family members who are caring for a loved one entirely on their own. Sometimes, caregivers need a break, or they have jobs and other responsibilities. Our caregivers are here for temporary respite, giving the family caregivers some peace of mind. Further, your loved one receives one-on-one attention and TLC versus assisted living and there’s less chance of catching an illness this way.

“Visiting Angels is a fantastic company. I have had to completely change my mom’s care schedule several times and Katie has taken care of it very quickly and gotten my mom the care she needs. The people who have come to the house are all so nice and take excellent care of my mom. It really helps out my family and lets us worry less. I would recommend them to anyone.” ~Kristy D.
