What is Home Care?

At Visiting Angels Gastonia, one of the most frequent questions we are asked is: what is in-home care? After countless years of providing personalized care to seniors throughout Cramerton, Gastonia, Kings Mountain, Lincolnton, Mount Holly, Shelby, and nearby communities in Gaston, Cleveland, and Lincoln Counties in North Carolina, we’ve gained the experience needed to help guide families through the process of choosing professional in-home senior care.

At Visiting Angels Gastonia, we know that choosing professional elderly care may be an overwhelming decision to make for your family. However, it is important to learn about your options and have your questions answered before committing to anything. Our goal is to help you assess your options so that you can make the best choice for your aging relative.

Why Choose In-Home Senior Care?

Previously, the most reliable options for seniors who struggle with daily tasks and independent living in Gaston, Cleveland, and Lincoln Counties have assisted living facilities and nursing homes. Now, more and more seniors are choosing to age in place while getting the care they need right in their own homes. In-home care allows seniors to follow their own routines and schedule. It also allows them to continue living in familiar surroundings. This is especially helpful for seniors who live with dementia and may have memory and cognitive issues that can make moving to a new home upsetting.

However, finding the right option for in-home elderly care can be a challenge. You'll want to find an agency that staffs skilled and compassionate caregivers and provides personalized care options to clients. At Visiting Angels Gastonia, we can provide the support your loved one needs to live out their golden years in their cherished home.

Why Choose Visiting Angels Gastonia?

With extensive experience in providing care to thousands of clients in many different situations, we are here to answer any questions you have about our in-home care services. When it comes to our care plans, care can generally begin two days after a free in-home consultation. However, there are some instances where it can begin immediately.

At Visiting Angels Gastonia, our caregivers are trained to provide care in the home. Even so, they are also able to provide assistance in the hospital as well as bedside care in assisted living facilities. They can also help your loved one transition from a hospital stay back to home or relocate to a family member’s home.
