How to Get Started with Home Care in Torrance, CA

It's very natural to think of starting home care for a family member as a difficult decision. At Visiting Angels Torrance, however, we make it simple to get started with home care.

Whether you're currently dealing with a crisis situation or looking toward the future when you may need additional support, our experienced team is here to guide you through figuring out which type of care would be best for your loved one.

Getting Started Is Easy: Three Steps

Getting started with Visiting Angels is designed to be simple and stress-free. Here’s how our process works.

Step 1 — Talk with Our Team

Your first call is nothing more than a chat. Don't worry — we don't push anything. You'll talk with a member of our team who will listen to you, answer any questions you have, and give you a general idea of which care options may be a good fit for your loved one. Our representatives are always available and will return all calls within 15 minutes during normal business hours.

Step 2 — Home Consultation

A care coordinator will come to your loved one's home to gather information about their needs, daily schedule, and favorite routines and activities. Many families feel reassured knowing that we are not here to disrupt your loved one's current lifestyle. On the contrary, we work to maintain the familiarity of their home environment as much as possible.

Step 3 — Personalized Care Plan & Caregiver Match

After meeting with you, we create a customized care plan based on what we learned during the consultation. Then we work with you to determine which caregiver is the best fit for your loved one. We believe matching the caregiver with your loved one is important because we know that both parties must feel comfortable with each other. Once the caregiver has been selected, care typically begins immediately.

Supporting Your Loved One Through Empowering Care

Our caregivers offer many forms of non-medical support that improve safety and make day-to-day living easier for your loved one. Some examples include:

• Social interaction and companion care
• Preparing and serving healthy meals
• Light housekeeping and laundry

• Grocery shopping and running errands
• Medication reminders
• Personal care assistance with bathing, grooming, and dressing
• Mobility assistance and fall prevention

Whatever level of support your loved one needs, we can deliver it. We are available nights, weekends, and holidays as well.

We serve Torrance and its surrounding communities, including Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Lawndale, and Gardena.

Why Families Trust Visiting Angels of Torrance

Visiting Angels Torrance is locally owned and operated by Duane and Marian Karons, who have strong ties to this community. Marian was born and raised in Palos Verdes. Both she and Duane have raised their children in the area and continue to actively participate in the community through St. John Fisher Catholic Church and the Palos Verdes Tennis Club.

While their experience with home care is certainly professional, it was also very personal. In February 2020, Duane required emergency open-heart surgery and subsequently spent several months recovering at home. One of their own Visiting Angels caregivers, Stan, provided meal preparation, transportation to medical appointments, assistance with various household duties, and other daily tasks while Marian ran the business.

This experience greatly influenced the way this team interacts with each family they work with.

Some of the reasons families choose Visiting Angels Torrance:

• All caregivers go through comprehensive interviews and complete rigorous background and criminal history checks prior to being hired.
