Did you know that one way to help keep a senior’s memory sharp is to keep them on a routine and in places they are familiar with and comfortable in? 

It’s true! 

However, sometimes goals conflict. You can know that letting your loved one age in place would be best, but how? They may no longer be able to care for themselves, and as much as you want to, you cannot be there 24/7. 

There is a solution, though: in-home senior care. 

Visiting Angels of Catawba Valley can be there to support your loved one so that they can age in the place best for them: their home. 

Visiting Angels Caregivers in Catawba County

These are many reasons that you may find yourself considering finding an assisted living home, even if you know your loved one does not want to move or even if you do not want them to have to move.

Visiting Angels can help you with many of these concerns with our in-home care assistance. All of our service plans are customized for your family’s needs, from how often we come to what we do when we are there. 

Everything is designed to make you and your loved one comfortable and safe while helping you keep that so-important routine in a place they love. 

Let’s look at some of the reasons you may feel that your loved one can no longer stay at home, and then we will look at possible ways Visiting Angels can help them.

Problem: They are lonely after a spouse or other connection has died or moved.

Solution: Our caregivers act as companions to their clients, and you are able to pick a caregiver that best matches with your loved one’s personality so that they are more than employer/employee. They play games together, read to each other, and have meaningful conversations. They become friends. 

Problem: They are no longer able to drive themselves, and you do not want them to be permanently homebound. 

Solution: One service that our caregivers provide is transportation. We can take them to doctor’s appointments, to the local senior meet and greet, to the library or park, or wherever they want to go!

Problem: They have hearing and/or vision loss, and it can make it hard for them to take care of themselves or the house.

Solution: Our caregivers can do a lot to help clients with these issues. We can run errands for them, meal prep, create fall prevention support, help them with technology, do light housekeeping, assist them with personal grooming, and more. 

Problem: They are suffering from a chronic illness.

Solution: While we do not offer health care services, we can do a lot to make them more comfortable. From getting them to appointments to giving them medication reminders, and more, your caregiver will make sure they are taken care of. 

Customizable Senior Services for Your Needs

Along with the nature of the services our caregivers provide, they also come when you need them. 

Some of our clients need full-time, live-in care, and for them, a caregiver is on site at all times. However, many do not need constant help. Some just need someone to come in and keep them company or help around the house a few hours a week. Others have a caregiver already: you. For these households, you may find that you need some respite care now and then to give you the break you need in order to stay mentally fresh and able to care for an aging parent or relative. 

Whatever your needs, we can help you find a caregiver that works for you and your family. Your comfort is our biggest concern, and we make sure that your loved one gets the help they need without having their routine disturbed in the process.
