Choosing the right caregiver for your loved one and getting started with home care can be stressful. However, this process couldn’t be more straightforward with Visiting Angels Carlisle. If your loved one could benefit from our professional in-home care services, contact us and schedule an initial meeting, and we will take it from there. We've been helping seniors in Carlisle, Gettysburg, Chambersburg, and surrounding areas in Cumberland, Franklin, and Adams Counties get the support they need for many years.

We understand that starting with professional in-home senior care can be overwhelming, and you might not be sure what type of care your parent requires. Since we have worked with thousands of families, we can make recommendations and help you make the right choice.

Our care coordinator will come to your parents' home, where they will learn about the elderly care services they need, as well as their preferences, goals, likes, dislikes, abilities, and limitations. During this meeting, we will review schedule requests and other specific requests of family or clients and answer any questions you might have.

Care Starts with a Comprehensive Assessment & Custom Care Plan

When we come to your parent’s home for the first time, we will discuss whether your loved one has any specific physical needs regarding:

• Bathing and grooming
• Dressing
• Meals and diet
• Mobility
• Incontinence

During this meeting, we will review their sleep, eating, and medicine schedules to create a care plan that doesn’t disrupt their daily routines. We can also discuss specific emotional needs your loved one may have, such as social interaction, activities, conversation, appointments, and companionship. To prepare for the in-home consultation, make a list of daily activities your parent needs assistance with, such as preparation of meals, groceries, linens, laundry and light housekeeping. You can expect that we will also discuss the logistics of schedules and documentation.

If you decide to start with elderly care services from Visiting Angels Carlisle, we will establish a schedule, finalize the care plan, schedule a nurse visit, and arrange a meeting with our caregivers. However, remember that our care plans are not set in stone, and as your parent’s needs change, so can our plans be altered. This way, we will ensure that your loved one is constantly receiving the proper care.
