One of the hardest choices you may need to make in your life is what to do for an aging parent or loved one who is having trouble living on their own. 

There are so many things you have to balance: 

• You want them to get to keep the independence they want, but you also want them to be safe.
• You want to take care of them yourself like they did for you, but you have work, kids, and other obligations that need you too.
• You don’t want to mess up their routine or keep them from the home that they love, but you also don’t want to worry about them constantly. 

Sending them to an assisted living facility may seem like the only way to take care of them, but you know they don’t want to go. What can you do? 

It may be a good time for you to look into in-home senior care.

Visiting Angels of Catawba Valley’s Home Care Assistance

In-home caregivers are great options for any senior who is having trouble living on their own, a disabled adult looking for more independence, or even seniors in assisted living homes who need more help than the facility provides. 

There are many benefits to using a home care agency. For starters, when you have one-on-one care, you can customize your plan of service to get the things that you or your loved one need. 

Here are just some of the ways that Visiting Angels of Catawba Valley can help you care for your loved one:

• Companionship. No matter your age, living on your own can be lonely. Our caregivers are matched not just by skill but by personality. We create friendships through our companion care services!
• Personal care. From grooming to fall prevention help and more, we take pride in helping our clients.
• Certified palliative care. While we don’t offer health care services, we can care for the physical, emotional needs of someone dealing with a serious or even terminal disease.
• Ready-set-go home. Sometimes you or your loved one do not need help on a permanent basis but do need help transitioning from the hospital to the home. We can help with this too. 
• Mobility. You don’t want your loved one to be homebound. However, if they have mobility issues or do not have a license or a vehicle, it can be hard for them to get around. Our caregivers can help with transportation, errand running, meal preparation, light housekeeping, fall prevention help, and even technology help so that your loved one can stay connected to the people that matter most to them. 

Visiting Angels of Catawba Valley: Our Caregivers Fit into Your Schedule

It is really important for seniors to keep as much independence as possible, and it can keep cognitive functions strong when they remain in a place that is familiar to them and when they can stick to their own routine.

This is why our caregivers work around your needs, not just in the services we provide, but also in the times we come. 

If you have been acting as your loved one’s primary caregiver and you just need respite care so that you can get a much needed break in order to come back stronger than ever, we can help with that.

If you take care of your loved one as much as possible but need help during working hours, while you go run errands, or just to get a break, then we can come as many hours each week as you need.

Then again, if your loved one needs 24/7 live-in help, we can do that too.

Please give us a call at 828-572-4300 so that we can answer your questions and/or set up a free phone consultation. We would love to be able to care for you!
