When caring for an aging loved one, it’s not uncommon to come to a point where you realize you need some outside help. In fact, it’s more likely than not, you find yourself pulled in several directions at once and feel like you’re not performing your best in any one area. At Visiting Angels^® Tampa, we get it. By connecting families with qualified home care providers in Temple Terrace, we can relieve the workload of family caregivers.

What Is Home Care, Exactly?

Maybe this is your first experience with helping someone try to age in place and you’re wondering what kinds of things a caretaker that comes to your home in Temple Terrace can actually help with. The answer is, caretakers can help with almost as varied a list as you can think of, because they will customize their services to your loved one’s needs.

• Bathing, dressing, and grooming
• Medication reminders
• Meal preparation
• Companionship, conversation, and empathetic listening
• Mobility assistance
• Errands
• Transportation to and from appointments and events
• Light housekeeping
• Fall prevention

Home care in Temple Terrace also includes specialized care, including:

How to Get Started with Home Care in Temple Terrace

At Visiting Angels Tampa, we are a locally owned and operated nurse registry in the state of Florida. We meet with families first to thoroughly assess their needs and preferences and then provide qualified referrals to appropriate caretakers within our network.

We have a network of vetted local caretakers in the Temple Terrace area with a variety of skills and specializations. Each caretaker goes through our extensive interview and background check process before they are approved for our registry.

We’ll refer our top matches for you to consider and the decision is entirely yours. Your caretaker will work directly for you but we’re still here! We check in on an ongoing basis to make sure you continue to be fully satisfied and address any potential new needs or challenges that your loved one may develop.

Because of our deep involvement with the local senior community, we can also act as a resource for all kinds of additional offerings and activities that might be available to your family.
