How Visiting Angels Assists Seniors

When it comes to your loved one’s well-being, it’s natural to want them to feel safe, comfortable, and happy in a place they know well: home. With a little help from Visiting Angels, that’s entirely possible.

Helping Seniors Age in Place

At Visiting Angels, we understand how important it is for seniors to live independently in the comfort of their own homes. However, as time goes on, managing daily tasks can become harder. Aging can impact strength, mobility, and coordination, which can make everyday activities more challenging. But that doesn't have to mean giving up on staying at home.

Visiting Angels offers a safe and affordable alternative via in home caregiving. This is often preferred to moving into an assisted living facility, even if your loved one needs specialized care, like Alzheimer’s or dementia in home care and assistance. Our mission is to help seniors maintain their independence and dignity, with a helping hand when they need it most.

Benefits of Aging in Place

According to a 2021 study by AARP, 77% of adults over 50 want to stay in their homes as they age. And it’s no surprise; home is where they feel most secure. While assisted living is an option, it requires leaving behind familiar surroundings, routines, and a sense of independence.

With Visiting Angels of Coeur d'Alene, your loved one can continue to live in the place they love, with the support they need. Here’s how in-home care can make all the difference:

• Companionship: Social interaction is vital for emotional health. A Visiting Angels caregiver provides meaningful in home companionship, which helps reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety.
• Familiar Surroundings: Staying at home means your loved one can maintain their routines—whether it's enjoying a favorite chair, watching a show, or taking a walk around the neighborhood.
• Flexibility: You can create a care plan that works with your schedule, so your loved one gets help when they need it—without paying for unnecessary services.
• Lower Costs: Home care is often more affordable than 24/7 assisted living or nursing home care. Plus, there’s no need for a large upfront deposit or long waitlists.
• Personalized Attention: In contrast to assisted living, where staff may care for several residents at once, our caregivers offer one-on-one assistance that’s focused solely on your loved one’s needs.

Our caregivers are also trained in fall prevention and safety measures to help your loved one avoid accidents at home, especially in high-risk areas like the bathroom or kitchen.
