It can be challenging for seniors to age while living with physical disabilities or a chronic health condition. In these cases, many seniors will need assistance, like personal home care. This type of home care offers help with unique activities, such as dressing, bathing, and mobility. Seniors receiving private or personal home care can maintain their independence at home, which is more practical than moving to a care facility.

At Visiting Angels of Greensboro, we understand the importance of being comfortable while aging in place for seniors. In many cases, seniors may worry about losing their independence due to struggling with day-to-day tasks. When this happens, Visiting Angels of Greensboro offers services that allow seniors to age in place on their terms.

Personal Home Care at Visiting Angels Greensboro, High Point, NC, and Nearby Cities

The most common type of in-home care for seniors is personal home care. It is often requested and widely used by those with chronic health conditions, physical disabilities, or difficulties with strength, coordination, and mobility. Our goal is to provide safety and comfort for our clients through a combination of tasks and activities.

Our caregivers can also assist with other personal home care and daily tasks, such as errand assistance, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, and other routine activities. 

Personal Caregiving vs. Companion Caregiving

When families seek the appropriate care agency, it can become difficult to tell the difference between the multiple types of caregiving. Typically, families are unaware of the difference between personal and companion care, the two most common types of in-home care. 

The most significant difference between these two types of care is how the daily tasks are approached and other physical caregiving forms. Personal care providers offer specific skills and abilities to assist directly while managing their other caregiving duties. Companion caregivers can help with errands and light housekeeping; these caregivers cannot assist with daily activities or any different physical needs. 

The main differences are why we suggest personal care services to families that need direct physical contact. This care is also best for families looking for help with a chronic health condition, such as diabetes or dementia. If you have a loved one who needs this direct form of care, we suggest companion care services.
