In Home Care in Des Plaines

Personal Care vs. Companion Care

At Visiting Angels^® Arlington Heights, we provide a range of in home care options for Des Plaines area seniors. Our support is designed to keep your loved one living at home for as long as possible, avoiding the assisted living facility and retaining a higher level of dignity and comfort. With this in mind, it's important to supply each senior with the right type of in home support. Our two main options are companion care and personal care, so we'll start by discussing the differences between the two. 

Companion care includes basic in home assistance and friendly companionship. This service will include help with daily chores, errands, meal prep, laundry, light housekeeping and anything else to simplify their lives and make things more comfortable.

Personal care is the most common type of care. You can get all of that plus some physical help. This plan is for seniors who need assistance with tasks like bathing and getting dressed. Also, personal care can apply to those with specific issues, such as Alzheimer's or dementia. 

No matter your loved one's exact needs, we are committed to providing a care plan that keeps them safe, happy, and content in the familiar comfort of their own home. 

About Our In Home Care in Des Plaines

We strongly believe that a continued home life is the best option for the vast majority of seniors. Life in an assisted living facility can feel isolating and lonely, while living at home allows them a much stronger connection to the outside world. This can be a critical advantage, since seniors are already prone to feelings of loneliness. We offer different care options to address a wide variety of needs and keep local seniors where they belong. Our in home care includes:

• Specialized Home Care. Specific support to aid seniors with conditions like Alzheimer's and dementia.
• Personal Care. Companionship along with physical assistance to help keep up with day-to-day needs.
• Companion Care. Assistance and companionship around the house for an easier, safer, and happier daily life.
• Respite Care. If you are caring for a relative on your own, this service can provide a much-earned rest whenever you need it.
