Our Approach to Senior Care in Norman

In order to provide the essential care services your loved one needs to thrive, we'll take the time to learn about their unique needs and care scenario. To get started, our care team will take you through the following steps prior to care: 

• An intro call — When you call Visiting Angels Southwest Oklahoma City, we can give you more information about our essential care services, including our hourly rates. We can also talk in general terms about your loved one's care needs. An in-depth consultation — We'll visit your loved one for a no-cost consultation where we can assess their condition and determine the level of care they require. Family members can also attend this consultation to ask questions, bring up any concerns, and give us a clearer sense of their loved one's support network. 
• Plan building — We'll use your loved one's consultation as the basis for a custom care plan tailored to them. We provide senior care 24/7, 365 days a year, so we can accommodate any care schedule too.
• Choosing the right caregiver — We recommend one of our exceptional caregivers based on the kind of care your loved one needs, their personality, and other factors. Before your relative's care begins, we can set up a meeting for your approval.

Ready-Set-Go Home Transitional Care

Our senior care includes transitional care to reduce hospital readmission rates. Our care professionals can support your loved one as they transition home from the hospital.

Safe & Steady Fall Prevention

Concerned about your loved one's fall risk at home? Falls account for more serious injuries among seniors than any other cause. We can help reduce your loved one's fall risk by identifying their risk factors and suggesting small improvement to their home such as additional lighting and clutter reduction. Your loved one's care plan can also include walking support.
