Whether it's the result of a long-term decline in health, or an abrupt change after a fall, no one is ever fully prepared to find out that their parent is no longer able to care for themselves at home. At Visiting Angels^® Lake Lanier, we understand how overwhelming this period can be for families in the Cumming area. That's why we offer a range of aging in place services so you don't have to uproot Mom or Dad for the sake of their health and safety.

What Does Aging in Place Mean for a Senior in Cumming?

Aging in place is widely preferred among seniors in Cumming and across the country. It means that most seniors would rather stay in their own homes for as long as possible as they get older instead of moving into some kind of home care facility. At Visiting Angels Lake Lanier, we're proud to make this dream a reality for seniors throughout Cumming, Gainesville, Braselton, and Dawsonville.
