Scheduling a Personal Caregiver

Caregivers visits are scheduled to correspond with your loved one’s needs. If your loved one needs help in the morning to get the day started, the caregiver can visit early in the day. If your loved one tires easily and needs help in the evening, caregiver visits can be scheduled for late afternoons or evenings.

Caregivers can visit once a week, once a day or more frequently depending on your loved one’s needs. We can provide personal care services seven days a week, 24 hours per day if needed. Our process begins with an in-home consultation, so we can fully understand your needs then discuss the home care options that will best support your loved one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Personal Care?
Visiting Angels in Lewisville, Texas, provides non-medical home care to assist seniors with daily activities that maintain their dignity and independence living at home. Tasks that our caregivers perform for personal care include bathing, dressing, grooming, meal prep, medication reminders, mobility support, toileting and light housekeeping.

Who Benefits Most from Personal Care Services?
We find that seniors who struggle with daily self-care due to limited mobility, chronic illness, recovering from a stroke, or diagnosed with conditions like Alzheimers benefit greatly from personal care services.

How is Personal Care different from Elderly Companion Care?
So, personal care will focus more on the physician activities of daily living (ADLs) like those mentioned above (bathing, dressing, cooking, etc.) while companion care is more focused on emotional support and social interaction. That said, our caregivers still form deep friendships with their clients while providing personal care to an individual and become akin to family at times.

How much does personal care service cost?
Visiting Angels charges hourly rates for personal care services. The cost varies depending on your location, the frequency of visits and the level of care required of a client’s unique circumstances. It is best to call our office at (972) 665-9946 and ask our care coordinator for an estimate to cover your loved one’s personal care services.
