Visiting Angels of Aiken's Most Commonly Asked At Home Senior Care Questions

What Kind of Services Do You Provide?

At Visiting Angels of Aiken, we offer a variety of at home senior care services, such as personal care and companion care. Our agency is designed to ensure seniors receive the care they require with everyday activities, so they can comfortably age in place safely and securely. Our many at home senior care services often include medication and fluid reminders, fall prevention, bathing, grooming, light housekeeping, and running errands.

What Does the Term "Aging in Place" Mean?

Aging in place is a term we use to describe the ability of a senior to remain in their own home for as long as possible, regardless of their health limitations. Usually, home care is the opposite of nursing care, though at times, it can mean offering support while living in a nursing home.

Do You Provide Services in Assisted Living Facilities?

Yes. Sometimes, clients or families realize that the help they are getting in an assisted living facility is simply not enough to allow a senior to remain independent. At that point, Visiting Angels of Aiken would then provide a qualified caregiver to ensure adequate care. In some states, nursing homes or assisted living facilities allow families to hire additional help.

How Quickly Can Home Care Services Be Provided/Started?

Typically, Visiting Angels of Aiken can provide at home senior care within a 48-hour period, though in many cases, it can be the same day.

Can I Change the Schedule If I Have Appointments to Keep?

With as little as a one-week notice, we would happily adapt to your schedule change. At Visiting Angels of Aiken, we believe in making the care schedule work for you, not the other way around. As such, we will do everything we can to give you the schedule you prefer.
