As your spouse, Mom or Dad, or another senior loved one ages, they may need assistance with everyday activities - including bathing/showering, getting dressed, or moving around the house. Get personalized help from an experienced caregiver. Learn how private duty home care from Visiting Angels allows seniors to remain in their home longer while getting the help they need. 

What is Private Duty Care? 

For many families, a senior with reduced mobility, chronic pain, an illness, or a dementia diagnosis means their loved one needs more help with everyday tasks. These tasks can vary per senior, but can include the following:

• Bathing or showering
• Grooming, shaving, and combing hair
• Getting dressed for the day
• Brushing teeth
• Toileting
• Eating
• Mobility assistance & transfer support
• Getting ready for bed

Benefits of a Private Caregiver

If you are responsible for caring for your spouse, parent, or loved one, you know how much work it can be. The daily demands of getting them changed, making sure they eat and take their medication, grooming, and hygiene assistance can quickly fill up your schedule. A private caregiver can assist with everyday tasks, allowing a senior to remain in the comfort of their home for longer. 

Here are some of the benefits of private duty care from Visiting Angels:

• Allows couples to remain together. As one spouse ages, the burden for caregiving can fall solely on the well spouse. While the well spouse may feel the obligation or responsibility to care for their partner, they may not be the best equipped to do that. Private duty home care allows the senior to get the care they need, while freeing up the well spouse to just be a spouse, not a caregiver.
• Personalized care. No two seniors are alike, and neither are their needs & preferences. With personal care from Visiting Angels, we craft a care plan that's personalized for your loved one. Your caregivers will be chosen based on schedule, experience, and skill. And the care plan will include needs & preferences, so your loved one with be cared for with compassion & dignity. 
• Remain independent for longer. Most seniors in northern Michigan want to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their home for as long as possible. With private duty care, seniors can get the assistance they need to remain living independently instead of moving to an assisted living facility.
