Strokes are serious medical events that can greatly alter a person’s life and care needs. Many seniors who suffer strokes deal with paralysis, cognitive problems, speech impairment, and other serious issues. These challenges can make it much more difficult for seniors to continue living at home by themselves. That’s where Visiting Angels of Chelsea comes in. We can send a professional stroke recovery care provider to your loved one’s home to assist them with maintaining healthy habits and following doctors’ instructions to reduce the risk of another stroke. Our trained stroke caregivers will pay careful attention to your loved one’s needs and work to ensure that they are properly cared for while recovering from their stroke.

“I can't begin to say how much Visiting Angels has made an impact on my family's life. When searching for home care for my mother, we didn't know where to begin. From my first conversation with Buteau till my mom passed away 5 years later, my mother received top-notch care, wonderful company, loving friendship, and professional handling of all kinds of emergencies. I would recommend them very highly to anyone who is looking to find care for a loved one. Also, my family and I feel like her caregivers are part of our family now.”

Personalizing Care

One of the things that sets Visiting Angels of Chelsea apart from other home care agencies is our dedication to personalized care. There is no “one size fits all” answer to senior care! We design every senior care plan individually to address the unique needs and preferences of each client. With Visiting Angels, you and your family will also be able to select the particular caregivers that will be caring for your senior loved one.

Helping Prevent Hospital Readmissions

Many seniors who experience strokes undergo hospitalization. If your loved one has recently returned from the hospital, our Ready Set Go Home Care programming can help them avoid another hospital stay. We will monitor your loved one’s condition closely and provide them with the nonmedical assistance necessary to promote healing and help prevent complications such as post-hospital syndrome. With help from our caregivers at home, your loved one’s recovery process can be safer and more comfortable.

Even if you live cities or states away, our in-home caregivers will provide regular updates about your loved one via phone and email. If you ever have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding your loved one’s care, our team is always here. Our after-hours phone line is even available on evenings and weekends in case an urgent situation arises.
