Many families find themselves separated by distance for one reason or another. Due to extended work travel, job transfers, or out-of-state retirement, you may find yourself living far from a loved one. When the distance is too great for you to personally offer assistance to a family member in need, Visiting Angels^® Boerne is here to help with elder care.

Visiting Angels Boerne offers experienced elder care assistance to many families in Boerne, Camp Verde, Center Point, Comfort, Fair Oaks Ranch, Fair Oaks, and nearby communities. Our elder care services provide a helping hand to your loved one while you’re away. Some types of assistance we frequently offer include light housekeeping, meal preparation, medication reminders, and other Activities of Daily Living. We are also able to offer specialized Alzheimer’s care when needed. Often, when our clients are far from other family members, our caregivers’ rewarding companionship means even more than the help they provide around the house. The caregivers from Visiting Angels Boerne are adept at fulfilling your loved one’s elder care needs.

We understand the need for elder care varies greatly from person to person. Your loved one may want someone to enjoy dinner with and keep them company in the evenings. You may have a parent who prefers not to be alone overnight. An aging grandparent may just need someone to help get them to appointments during the day. Whatever your scheduling needs may be, our elder care professionals will work with your loved one to be there when needed. The customized care schedules from Visiting Angels Boerne are also flexible and can be adjusted if your family member’s needs change.

People often have concerns about who to trust for long-distance elder care. All of the caregivers from Visiting Angels Boerne are employees of our agency, never contractors. This means they have been through our rigorous interview process which includes criminal history and background checks and previous employment verification. We look for professionals who have previous experience working with seniors and the disabled, and a compassionate personality. It is important to us that our home care providers have a commitment to providing care with dignity and respect. We will never place a caregiver in your loved one’s home if we wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending him or her to our own family members.

How We Make Elder Care Available for Long-Distance Families

Our local agency will go the extra mile to make the process of setting up customized senior care simple for your long-distance family. Here are a few of the many ways we can adapt our care process to meet the needs of those who live far away from their loved ones:

• Convenient consultations. We'll ensure you get the chance to take part in your loved one's initial consultation even if you can't be physically present in the room with them. For example, you can join in on the conversation through a phone call, email, or video application.
• Coordination on planning and scheduling. We will also ask for your input when it comes to planning and scheduling your loved one's care. You'll have the final say on their customized care plan, and we will always keep you informed when we notice their care needs changing.
• Consistent communication. You can additionally expect us to keep you up to date on your loved one's well-being throughout the care process. We always strive to keep families in the loop so they know how their loved ones are doing physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally. Most importantly, we make it easy for long-distance family members to get in touch with us if they ever have any questions about their loved one's current condition. 
• Expert guidance from our care coordinators. We understand that you may not know exactly what forms of care your loved one needs. After all, it can be difficult to keep track of their day-to-day routines when you live far away. You can trust us to provide you with guidance as you make significant decisions about their care. That way, you can always maintain peace of mind about their choice to age in place.
