Elder Care for Families Separated by Long Distances

Arranging care may seem like an overwhelming challenge if you live far away from your loved one. However, you may not be aware there are elder care services designed specifically for your family’s situation. At Visiting Angels^® Helena, we work with long distance families to craft care plans that instill them with confidence. Our personalized caregiving approach ensures elderly adults can maintain their independence for longer while giving their family members in other cities and states peace of mind.

Our Approach to Elder Care in Helena

We know how stressful it can be to realize your loved one requires help you’re too far away to provide. When communication over the phone simply isn’t enough, they likely need a caregiver to assist with physically demanding activities around the house. Our compassionate caregivers will take over these tasks so your loved one can maintain their quality of life even as they age. As a result, you won’t have to worry about their well-being or personal security any longer.

We’ve made several modifications to our caregiving services to address the challenges long distance families often struggle with. These include the following:

• Consultations. Our consultations can be arranged with family members both near and far. If you reside in a distant community, we can easily consult with you over the phone, by email, or through video chat.
• Planning and Scheduling. At Visiting Angels Helena, we know you want to be involved every step of the way, even if you can’t be physically present with your loved one. We’ll ask for your input as we arrange their elder care services, including your thoughts on their schedule of care visits and finding the right caregiver.
• Regular Communication. Even after we’ve begun caring for your loved one in their home, we’ll keep you in the loop with frequent updates and consistent communication. If we ever notice a significant change in your loved one’s well-being, we’ll get in touch with you straightaway.
• After-Hours Calls. Should you need to reach us after our office’s regular hours, we’re just a phone call away. Simply call our after-hours phone line, and we’ll get back to you in under fifteen minutes.
