In Home Care in Covina

What Type of Care is Needed?

How do you know what type of in home care is right for your loved one? For families in Covina and throughout the surrounding communities, Visiting Angels^® Glendora can guide you through the process of setting up care services. We can assess your loved one's overall condition, living environment and needs, making sure they have customized, adaptive support from professionals you trust.  

Let's review two of our in home care options — companion care and personal care. 

Choosing Between Companion Care and Personal Care 

While all our care options can be completely personalized, it can be helpful to know the difference between companion care and personal care. Personal care is suited for seniors with advanced needs, who may require support with more sensitive tasks like bathing and hygiene. Companion care, on the other hand, provides help with more general tasks, like assistance with cooking and grocery shopping.

If you're choosing between the two, here are four questions to ask about your loved one:

• Are they still relatively independent? Most people, if given the choice, will want to remain independent as long as possible. If your loved one is still comfortable with most personal tasks, companion care may be the answer. With this option, our caregivers can assist with more general tasks, such as shopping, light cleaning, and cooking.
• Do they have any mobility problems? Mobility issues are common for seniors, and this can make navigation around the home newly perilous. Visiting Angels Glendora can provide safety, security, and accessibility with personal care services. Our caregivers can help prevent falls by assisting with mobility and monitoring your loved one's condition. 
• Are they struggling with loneliness? Loneliness and isolation can trigger a senior's physical or mental decline. With companion care, our caregivers help seniors stay alert and active, as well as alleviate the emotional and mental challenges of living alone.  
• Do they have dementia or other health concerns? Whether your loved one is in the early stages of dementia or dealing with another health concern, we are here to provide support for you and your loved one. Depending on needs and condition, our experienced Care Managers can help determine the right kind of care for you.
