Frequently Asked Questions About Our Elder Care Services in Greater Joplin, MO
Q: What does the term "aging in place" mean?
A: This refers to the ability of any person to grow old in their own home or that of their family. It is the opposite of institutional, residential elder care, such as a nursing home. Sometimes, it may also mean the ability, with extra help, to stay in an assisted living facility.
Q: Do you provide services in assisted living facilities?
A: Yes. In some instances, residents may still need more assistance than what is provided by an assisted living facility. Someone in our office can always give a hand when this happens. Residents of nursing homes and assisted living facilities in some states can employ private caregivers.
Q: How does the cost of Visiting Angels of Joplin compare with assisted living or nursing home care?
A: The average service at Visiting Angels of Joplin runs about 1/3 the cost of an Assisted Living Facility and less than ¼ of what the skilled facility would cost. Naturally, you have to consider the level of services required for that individual at any facility. Costs vary according to your needs.
Q. What kind of services do you provide?
A: Eldercare and personal care services are designed to take over or assist in aging parents' activities so they can stay home safely and with dignity. These may include fall prevention, medication and fluids reminders, light housekeeping, grooming or bathing assistance, and running errands.
Q: Can I change the schedule if I have appointments to keep?
A: Changes are easily accomplished with as little as a week's notice. Our philosophy is to make the schedule work for the family, not the agency. You come first. Your needs, your requests, your schedule. We will do everything possible to make sure the schedule you want is the schedule you get.
Q: How do I start home care services with Visiting Angels of Joplin?
A: Call Visiting Angels of Joplin at 417-781-1000 and speak with one of our helpful staff members, who can answer any questions you may have about getting started.
