Aging in place can be possible for seniors when they have access to personalized assistance at home. At Visiting Angels^® Columbia, we understand that for many seniors, living at home is essential to their overall well-being. We also understand that they can only age in place safely and comfortably if they are cared for by professionals who offer high-quality care tailored to their unique concerns and lifestyles.

Growing older comes with a number of challenges. Many people begin to experience mobility limitations, coordination issues, and cognitive decline as they age, which can all affect their ability to maintain their independence. Our caregivers help seniors manage these challenges and continue going about their day-to-day lives at home while feeling fully supported.

The Importance of Aging in Place

When elderly adults have the freedom to continue living at home on their own terms, they can enjoy the feeling of autonomy for longer. Aging in place offers seniors in the Columbia area the chance to keep engaging in their familiar daily rituals and maintain the routine they've grown used to. This in turn enhances seniors' emotional well-being and helps them remain optimistic even in the face of difficult circumstances.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

When you realize a loved one requires professional assistance with their age-related needs, you may worry that moving them to an assisted living community is the only answer. However, a move away from home is often traumatic for seniors. It requires them to get used to new surroundings as well as a predetermined schedule of care, taking much of the joy and spontaneity out of everyday life.

Senior care facilities and assisted living communities are also pricey. Some cost tens of thousands of dollars each year, while home care can be arranged at a fraction of this price.
