Choosing a home care agency for your loved one can seem daunting. You want a home care agency in the Oklahoma City area that is committed to compassionate, respectful, and dignified care. You may be worried about the caregiver your parent will work with and if they'll be a good fit or if they'll make your mom or dad feel at ease. It's a big decision and Visiting Angels Oklahoma City is here for you. We understand your concerns and will work with you to help you feel comfortable with our services and our caregivers.

Our Tips for Choosing a Home Care Agency

We've spoken to many clients who are venturing down this road for the first time. Often, families are overwhelmed by the options and feeling the stress and concern that comes when an aging loved one needs assistance. Here are some of the tips we've gathered over the years that may help you:

Identify your needs.

Are you currently serving as the primary caregiver? Are you looking for occasional respite care help? Does your loved one need someone to come in weekly to help with specific tasks? Does your parent need daily help with bathing, grooming and other personal care needs?

Having an idea of what type of services your loved one requires will help you to find a home care agency that can meet your needs. At Visiting Angels Oklahoma City, our caregivers can assist with a wide range of needs from preparing meals and performing basic housekeeping tasks to more intensive care needs including bathing, toileting, and transferring.

Are there specialized care needs?

Many families turn to a home care agency after a diagnosis of dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, or for post-stroke care. If you are looking for non-medical care and support for a loved one living with a chronic condition, please let the home care agency know. At Visiting Angels Oklahoma City, we provide specialized care for many long-term care needs.

How often is care needed?

This ties back to identifying your needs. Frequency of care will have bearing on the cost of care, in addition it may also influence if the home care agency needs to schedule more than one caregiver to assist your loved one. At Visiting Angels Oklahoma City, we offer occasional respite care, weekly visits, daily visits, and around the clock care options. Of course, our caregivers are available seven days a week including holidays, so your loved one never has to go without the care they need.

When it's time for your family to choose a home care agency in the Oklahoma City area, call our office. We are proud to help families in Oklahoma City, Yukon, Reno, and throughout the surrounding communities.
