Find Live in Care in Charlottesville

As your loved ones age, it becomes increasingly important to ensure they can remain at home safely and comfortably. Senior care makes that possible. At Visiting Angels^® Charlottesville, we offer wide-ranging care options for seniors living at home, including 24-hour care and live in care. Our caregivers help clients age in place with dignity and compassion. 

Navigating your care options can feel daunting on your own. That's why our agency works closely with you to find the right level of support for your family member. Below, let's take a look at two types of services we offer, and how they can benefit your loved one. 

Choosing Care For Your Loved One 

For seniors who need advanced support on a daily basis, including help with bathing, mobility, and other sensitive tasks, it's important to have a caregiver on-hand regularly. In these situations, our care team will typically recommend one of two options, depending on your loved one's needs and abilities: 

• Live in care: With this type of help, a professional caregiver resides in the home to offer care frequently. Typically, this option includes 1-2 trusted caregivers who rotate out on a weekly or bi-monthly basis, assisting with daily tasks, grooming, mobility support, and more. Caregivers will take breaks to rest for at least five hours per day. 
• 24-hour care: This type of assistance is better suited when a senior in Charlottesville requires 24/7 care. 3-4 caregivers rotate to look after your family member, day and night, ensuring that someone is always awake and alert to help at all times. This can be especially useful if seniors are prone to wandering at night. 

3 Benefits of Our Comprehensive Live In Care  

24-hour care can be a good idea for seniors with late-stage Alzheimer's, or if safety is a frequent concern. That said, live in care from Visiting Angels Charlottesville comes with many benefits as well, including: 

• Continuity. Because this care option involves only one or two caregivers, it gives care professionals the chance to acclimate to your loved one's routines and habits. The result is stronger continuity of care. 
• Cost. This type of in-home support is often more affordable than 24-hour care, while still providing regular, ongoing support. 
• Meaningful companionship. When your loved one has the same, familiar caregiver, it means more of an opportunity to forge meaningful connections.
