When an elderly relative begins to struggle to live alone, families face the difficult decision of what to do next. Exploring your options often includes the idea of institutionalized care, but this is usually the last thing elders or their family want. Relocating is stressful and expensive. For elders, being forced to leave a treasured home can be heartbreaking. All of that can be avoided with the help of a caregiver companion from Visiting Angels^® Birmingham. We send exceptional individuals into homes across the Birmingham area, Trussville, Pell City, and Gardendale to help seniors continue to live independently at home. 

How Can a Companion Caregiver Help?

As any family caregiver knows, advanced aging affects different people differently. That means that the needs of your loved one could be totally different from the needs of an elder next door. That's why we personalize your loved one's home care plan to match their unique requirements. So whether they need intensive, round-the-clock monitoring by their companion caregiver or just the occasional, light-hearted visit, they'll get the care that's right for them.

Some of the ways Visiting Angels Birmingham can help include:

• Helping seniors maintain a healthy level of physical activity
• Participating in favorite pastimes with them
• Assisting them with household upkeep and chores
• Transporting them to appointments and on errands
• Providing reminders for dates and medications
