Our Companion Care

Do you often worry that your loved one is lonely, especially between your visits? Social isolation can affect your relative’s well-being and have a negative impact on their health down the line. Companion care provides engaging companionship to help keep your loved one’s spirits up.

Our Respite Care

When you devote so much of your time and energy to your loved one’s care, it’s easy to miss the signs that you’re stretched too thin. You may even feel like you simply don’t have the option to look after your own needs.

Our home care professionals in Huntington understand what a toll caregiving can take, especially as you juggle all your other responsibilities. We offer temporary coverage for family caregivers, so you can take a break for an hour, an evening, or however long you need. 

Our Personal Care Services 

It's common for older adults to struggle with routine tasks that were once second nature. We offer personal care to help things run seamlessly at home. Depending on your loved one's abilities, needs, and routine, our caregivers can help in the following ways:

• Getting groceries and preparing their meals
• Assisting with bathing, toileting, and getting dressed
• Reminding them to take any prescriptions
• Doing light tidying and running errands
• Assisting with walking and transferring when needed

Our Dementia and Alzheimer’s Support

Our Care Options for Serious Medical Issues and the End of Life Transition

At Visiting Angels Fort Wayne. We’re here to lift your family up as you face your hardest moments. 

Palliative care is a holistic service available to anyone with a serious condition. We focus on physical, social, spiritual, and mental well-being to provide comfort throughout your loved one’s treatment.

Our end of life care is for individuals nearing their end of life transition. Our warm, reassuring caregivers can make your loved one as comfortable as possible while helping your family with whatever tasks you need.

Our Fall Prevention Program

For older adults who are living happily and independently at home, a fall is one of the most worrying prospects. Every year, roughly one in four older adults fall. Falls are the number one cause of hip fractures and traumatic brain injuries. They can also make seniors feel much more anxious, which only increases the risk for a fall.  

To help your loved one live comfortably for as long as possible, we offer our Safe & Steady Fall Prevention Program. Based on your loved one’s condition and their living space, we can identify risk factors and recommend changes to their home or their care plan.

Our Hospital Transition Support

Being hospitalized is always an unsettling experience. Unfortunately, all too many older adults end up readmitted within a month due to the stress of the initial stay, uncertainty about discharge instructions, a lack of follow-up care, and other issues.

Our Ready-Set-Go Home program is designed to reduce the risk of hospital readmission. We can help your family get the answers you need when your loved one is still in the hospital, assist with at-home care, and make sure any possible complications are handled quickly. 

Our Social Care

Social media and other platforms have made it easier than ever to keep up with the people we care about. If your elderly loved one is wary of video chat and other technology, we can help them feel more comfortable with these tools as part of our social care service.
