Home care is a service that helps people in need of additional support get help to continue living at home safely. Home care can cater to a variety of needs. For instance, it can be useful for elderly adults living with chronic illnesses or age-related conditions, for individuals with physical or cognitive disabilities, or for the short term, such as after a hospital stay or during recovery from a stroke. Home care helps people in situations like these maintain their independence while still receiving the care they need at home to thrive as much as possible.

At Visiting Angels in Bartlesville, we differentiate ourselves by offering personalized, non-medical home care services crafted to meet the unique needs of each client. Our wide range of services allows seniors in our service areas around Bartlesville to continue aging in place with the exact type of support they need–with the help of an Angel!

What Does Home Care Include?

Home care typically offers a variety of services that are designed to address both emotional and physical care needs. Below is a closer explanation of some of the common home care services Visiting Angels offers:

• Personal Care Assistance: This service includes help with daily tasks and activities such as dressing, grooming, bathing, mobility, and toileting. Our personal care services ensure that clients maintain their dignity while getting the necessary support they need for everyday tasks.
• Companion Care: This service includes companionship to prevent feelings of isolation or loneliness. Caregivers offer genuine interactions and conversations, in addition to partaking in shared activities like games, daily walks, or other hobbies and facilitating social interactions with friends, family, and the community.
• Medication Reminders: For those who need help managing their medication schedule, caregivers can offer gentle reminders to ensure the correct medication is taken on time, avoiding accidental missed doses or even double-dosing.
• Meal Preparation: This ensures that clients are maintaining a healthy diet throughout their day. Caregivers help prepare and plan nutritious meals, taking into account food preferences and dietary restrictions.
• Light Housekeeping: Caregivers assist with basic household tasks to keep clients’ homes clean and orderly. This allows seniors to live in a tidy and comfortable environment that is also much less likely to lead to an accident.
• Respite Care: Respite care offers family members who have taken on the primary role as caregivers a much-needed break. Caregivers from Visiting Angels temporarily take over, allowing family members to recharge and rest.

Why Pick Home Care Over Other Options?

Many older folks prefer to stay home as they age because it allows them to continue living independently in an environment they love, surrounded by familiar routines and people. That’s very understandable.

Additionally, home care with Visiting Angels Bartlesville offers the following benefits:

• Independence: Seniors are able to continue maintaining control over their daily lives. From when they go to bed to meal choices and beyond, they’re always in charge of their time.
• Comfort: Home care allows seniors to stay in a familiar space, which can help improve emotional well-being and enhance quality of life.
• Personalized Attention: Home care uniquely offers tailored care that is personalized to the individual’s needs, unlike traditional nursing facilities where attention is often divided among multiple residents.
