At Visiting Angels^® Chesapeake, we strive to make it easy for seniors and their families to get started with the in-home care they need to make aging in place possible. We begin with a no-cost care consultation, which takes place in the comfort and convenience of the senior’s home. During this visit, we’ll answer any questions that arise and gather the information needed to design a customized care plan for the senior. Then, we’ll match them with a compassionate caregiver from our team of professionals.

Our services are available for seniors with a wide range of care needs living throughout the Chesapeake area, including Portsmouth, South Norfolk, and nearby towns. With our assistance, your family can have peace of mind and respite from your caregiving duties while ensuring that your loved one is receiving high-quality, personalized care.

What to Expect from Your Consultation on In-Home Care in Chesapeake

Our free care consultations at Visiting Angels Chesapeake give families a comprehensive overview of our services so they can make care decisions with confidence. You can count on us to fully address your questions and concerns before taking any next steps in the care process.

These in-person meetings are also important because they allow us to get to know the care recipient on a personal basis, including their personality, lifestyle, preferred schedules, and daily care needs. With this information, we can create a plan that more accurately reflects their day-to-day life.

Here are just a few of the topics we’ll likely cover during your loved one’s care consultation:

• Their need for conversation, companionship, and social and emotional support
• Physical challenges ranging from arthritis and mobility issues to strength concerns
• Any chronic conditions or memory disorders the senior has been diagnosed with
• How to schedule visits and adjust the care plan as needs change over time
• Providing the caregiver with home access and dealing with logistical issues
• Current daily routines and schedules, including mealtimes and medication timing
• Assisting the senior with household chores and homemaking tasks
• Helping the senior participate in his or her favorite free time and social activities
