Home Care: Gastonia, North Carolina

Did you know that there are over 12,000 people living in Gastonia, North Carolina, who are over the age of 65? It’s true! Gastonia has a thriving senior population, and Visiting Angels Gastonia is so proud to be working in this amazing city helping this population live a full life. 

While it’s true that Gastonia is a great place to live no matter your age, it’s also true that as people age, it can be harder to live on your own and take care of yourself. This is where we come in.

Visiting Angels offers in-home caregiving services so that you or your loved one can age in place, which means they can grow older in the home they are most familiar with without having to need to go to a care facility. While each of our plans is customized to your specific needs, here are just some of the services we can provide for you:

When you need a friend, we can offer you companionship. When you need medication reminders, we can let you know. If you want someone to run your errands, get your groceries, or prep your meals, we can help. We also offer personal grooming help and fall prevention help. Then, again, maybe you want someone who can show you how to operate the tech you have so that you can video chat your grandkids. We can do that too!

When it comes to getting around Gastonia, though, there is one service we provide that will be extra appealing to our Gastonian clients: transportation.

Transportation and Home Care: Gastonia Edition

Let’s look at just a few of the great offers you can get just by being a little older in this cool town.

Senior Services

One important thing that Gastonia does really well is take care of its aging population. They have a robust senior services department that offers many different forms of help, including:

• Congregate meals and activities - where you can go to eat with your peers and have some fun
• Protective services - if you are being abused or neglected, they can help you get into a better situation.
• Meal delivery - When you can no longer prepare your own food, you may be able to participate in a meal delivery service. 

Places to Go

Along with the great senior services, there are also many local attractions that are popular with the senior population. If you are a fan of nature, check out the Schiele Museum of Natural History or head over to Rankin Lake Park. For those who prefer the arts, head to the Little Theater of Gastonia. Go antiquing at any of the local antique shops. Visit the local library. Check out a farm or the farmer’s market. Play a round of golf. 

The choices are vast and are sure to meet your interests!
