Visiting Angels Explains How to Begin Elder Care in Hot Springs, Hot Springs Village, Benton, and Nearby Areas
Before consultation, let your loved one know you are considering hiring a home care professional. The decision to hire professional one-on-one elder care can be a sensitive, emotionally charged issue and may be met with objections. If your loved one resists the idea, listen to their opinions and concerns, but emphasize that their health and well-being are your top priorities.
A Visiting Angels of Hot Springs one-on-one care coordinator will visit your home, explain our living assistance services, and answer your questions. They will get to know you and your loved one and learn about your needs. Before the meeting, collect your thoughts and be ready to share your ideas. Reviewing a list of questions to cover during the consultation is a good idea.
Your care coordinator may ask:
- What tasks are most challenging?
- What time of day do they typically need assistance?
- Is there a chronic illness that requires specific services?
- Have you budgeted for in-home elder care?

What Happens After the Consultation?
Your care coordinator will use information from your consultation to develop a comprehensive elder care plan tailored to your loved one’s unique needs.
