As we age, we change. Ordinary tasks become difficult, we desire companionship more frequently, and we may get confused and fearful when night arrives. But such natural aging issues don’t necessarily warrant a nursing home. At Visiting Angels Abilene, we can help you delay or even avoid assisted living facilities for your loved one. We offer many options that will allow your loved one to remain living safely in their home with the assistance of a compassionate professional caregiver. And, if you have been caring for your parent, our caregiver options can also ease your responsibilities.

At Visiting Angels Abilene, we have built a reputation for providing quality non-medical care to seniors and the disabled in the Abilene and Big Country area. Our years of experience building a team of compassionate professional caregivers makes us a trusted resource.

How a Caregiver Can Help

We have many choices for care and offer flexible scheduling so your loved one can get the exact care that they need. After we meet to discuss your loved one’s needs, we’ll create a personalized plan for them. Some of the services our caregivers provide include: 

• Bathing and dressing assistance
• Light housekeeping
• Preparing meals and ensuring nutritious foods are regularly eaten
• Medication reminders
• Running errands
• Escorting to and from appointments
• Companionship

Each Visiting Angels Abilene caregiver completes a thorough screening process that includes extensive employment, criminal, and background checks. Candidates are also personally interviewed to ensure that they have the right combination of skills to provide the best care. These skills include patience, compassion, honesty, and respect.

Forming a Compatible Caregiver Relationship

Our Select Your Caregiver® program has been designed to help our clients find a compatible caregiver. Before your loved one begins care, we will compare your loved one’s needs and preferences with the caregivers on our team. We’ll select the caregiver we believe is the best fit for your loved one. You’ll have the opportunity to meet and work with that caregiver. If for some reason the caregiver doesn’t feel right or if your loved one feels uncomfortable, we’ll find a different caregiver to work with him or her. This process works so well that many times, families tell us their Visiting Angels Abilene caregiver feels like part of the family.

Call today to learn how our dedicated, compassionate caregivers can ease your caregiving responsibilities and help your loved one continue living safely in their Sweetwater, Anson, Baird, or Merkel home.
