Visiting Angels Strives to Provide Exceptional Senior Care in Augusta, Evans, Martinez, and Surrounding Areas Which Is Why We Require an In-Home Assessment Before Care Can Begin

For seniors who are struggling with health conditions, mobility issues, or chronic pain, it can be hard to gather the resources they need to attain better health. In-home senior care services can be a vital resource for your loved one’s health and your family’s peace of mind. You and your family can get to know Visiting Angels of Augusta from the comfort of home: we will come to you to get a better understanding of your loved one’s needs, concerns, and lifestyle. We believe every senior has the right to their best possible quality of life, and we will help your loved one work toward that every day.

The first step to accessing senior care is to schedule your in-home consultation. Our friendly care coordinator will schedule this at a time that works for you and your family. This is a great opportunity for your family to learn more about the types of care we offer, resources we can provide, and how you will customize your loved one’s care plan and schedule.

Preparing for Your Assessment

It is important to prepare yourself and your loved one for this assessment. This might mean having a family meeting in advance to discuss the importance of accessing senior care services for your loved one. Remind your loved one that our caregivers act as resources, to provide help and encourage independence. We can help your loved one work toward better physical, mental, emotional, and social health. Some additional preparation may be in order, as well, including:

• Gathering up-to-date contact information for emergency contacts
• Determining the schedule and level of care your loved one needs (part-time, full-time, around-the-clock, etc.)
• Deciding on a realistic budget for care and finding out if your loved one has applicable long-term care insurance
• Writing down a list of questions you have for our care coordinator
• Speaking with your loved one about what elder care services they would benefit the most from
