Elder Care for Families Separated by Long Distances

In this day and age, it's normal for family members to reside hundreds or even thousands of miles away from each other. Thanks to recent innovations in technology, maintaining relationships with the people you love from afar is easier than ever. Moreover, frequent visits can make up for lost time quite quickly. However, as your parent or grandparent grows older and starts requiring elder care, you'll need a different solution. Long distance elder care from Visiting Angels^® Columbia can provide the support both you and your loved one are looking for as their needs change.

We're a local care agency with a solid track record of helping long distance families find care solutions they feel confident in. Our personalized approach to care focuses on building relationships with both seniors and their family members, no matter where they reside. We are able to meet the different needs of our care recipients as they age in place while giving their loved ones crucial peace of mind and freedom from worry.

Our Approach to Elder Care

We've adapted our services and caregiving approach in a number of ways to make arranging care less stressful for long distance families. Here's what you can look forward to:

• A care consultation with your needs in mind. We understand you may not be able to come to Columbia for your loved one's free care consultation. However, you can still participate in this initial meeting over the phone, through video chat, or through email.
• Care planning done with your input. We always request feedback from our care recipients' families when building their personalized plans and scheduling their care visits.
• Frequent communication throughout the care process. We maintain ongoing conversations with families about their loved ones' care situation and changes in their well-being.
• Check-ins for additional peace of mind. We can drop by your loved one's home or check in with them over the phone to ensure they are safe and sound in between visits from their caregiver.
• A quick response from our office. You shouldn't have to struggle to get in touch with your loved one's care provider in an emergency. We have an after-hours phone line at our office and hold to a guaranteed response time of fifteen minutes.
