What is Home Care
Visiting Angels of Wilkes-Barre offers flexible home care services to help seniors overcome common physical, mental, and emotional challenges of growing older. We carefully customize programs so these communities may continue living where they feel the most confident and secure. A professional, compassionate caregiver can be present to offer whatever non-medical support you or your loved one needs, whether in the home or in an assisted living facility.
But even if you’ve done the research and are familiar with the professional home care we provide, there is a lot to know about the different programs in the diverse communities we serve.
Types of Home Care Services
Visiting Angels provides a wide variety of care programs designed to benefit seniors, aging veterans, and other vulnerable groups in the Wilkes-Barre area. Our care team creates a plan for each client that is unique to their situation. This makes it possible for someone with fewer needs to retain their independence while receiving more limited care. For example, one of our caregivers can assist a working adult who needs extra help while getting dressed in the morning. However, more specialized services are also available for someone with an acute condition who needs round-the-clock care.
Companion Care for Isolated Seniors
Living alone can be isolating for older individuals, particularly if they have lost a spouse or have limited social connections in their community. For these folks, our services include companion care so that older seniors may receive the benefits of the kind of support that can help them retain their independence and lead to a more emotionally satisfying lifestyle. A thoughtful, compassionate caregiver can show up at the times of day when their presence will be most effective. These companions are also trained to provide a range of services. They may help you plan and prepare meals, offer enjoyable conversation, and assist with other household tasks.
Flexible Personal Care Services
Many elderly adults in the Wilkes-Barre, PA, area struggle with day-to-day tasks such as cooking, housekeeping, and getting to appointments. We work closely with individuals to create a plan that fills in those gaps for them, provided by a caregiver who will show up only during the hours when you or your loved one needs their support.
