Q: What does the term "aging in place" mean?
A: The term aging in place is widely used in the caregiving industry to describe the ability of an individual to grow old in their own home or in the home of a family member. To put it simply, aging in place is the opposite of any institutional residential care such as a nursing home or an assisted living facility. However, in some cases aging in place can also refer to the ability to stay in an assisted living facility with the assistance of our compassionate home care aides.
Q: Does Visiting Angels Eldersburg provide elder care in assisted living facilities?
A: Yes, we do. In some cases seniors placed in an assisted living facility come to the conclusion that assistance provided in the facility is not sufficient for them to remain independent. In these cases, Visiting Angels Eldersburg can refer a qualified caregiver in order to make this possible. Some states allow you to hire private help in an assisted living facility or a nursing home.
Q: How quickly can care be provided/started?
A: Generally speaking, our home care professionals can start working with you within a 48-hour period, but in the majority of cases, we can accommodate requests on the same day they're requested.
Q: Can I change the schedule if I have appointments to keep?
A: Any schedule changes are easily made with as little as a week’s notice. We’ll do everything possible to make the schedule work for you, not the agency. With Visiting Angels Eldersburg, you come first.
