If your loved one is dealing with limited mobility or a chronic health condition such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson's disease, the team at Visiting Angels Gastonia can help. Everyday tasks that were once take for granted can require a significant amount of time and energy for someone with limited mobility. Our caregivers can assist with personal care and household tasks as well as provide meaningful companionship for seniors in Gastonia, Kings Mountain, Cramerton, Belmont, Mount Holly, Shelby and throughout North Carolina.
