About Our Personal & Private Duty Care Services in Fort Wayne

The personal, or private duty, care services from Visiting Angels Fort Wayne are effective because they are tailored to suit the needs of individuals. Rather than give your loved one one-size-fits-all care, we customize our home care services to meet your needs. This allows us to make changes when necessary and follow your preferred care schedule.

Some personal care services which are frequently provided by Visiting Angels Fort Wayne include:

• Dressing
• Bathing

• Meal preparation
• Medication reminders
• Meal planning
• Light housekeeping
• Transportation
• Companionship

All of the above services can be combined to create a care plan that meets your loved one's needs. During your initial care consultation, we will gather detailed information about your loved one's needs, daily schedule, and preferences for in-home care. All of this will factor into the creation of their personalized care plan. You can have peace of mind knowing your loved one is receiving the care they need at all times.

With age comes the possibility of illnesses, injuries, and changes in mental and emotional health. These occurrences will likely change your loved one's at-home care needs. Because our care is customizable, it is simple to change the care plan at any time. Our caregivers closely monitor their clients during each visit. Any changes in health or well-being will be communicated to you immediately. We are happy to work with you and your loved one's physician to ensure their care plan meets every need.

Our caregivers boast around-the-clock availability, making it easy to receive care whenever it is needed. We can create both part-time and full-time care schedules, with evening, weekend, and holiday availability. If you are a family caregiver for your loved one, we are happy to work with you and provide care when you need respite or time for other obligations.
