What to Expect from Our Consultations on In Home Care in Lexington

At Visiting Angels Lexington, we know getting started with in-home care can be intimidating for seniors and their families. Many worry that hiring a professional caregiver will require them to change their routines or alter their lifestyle. However, that's not the case with our care. From your first consultation to the last day of care, we will be focused on accommodating your loved one's needs. Your free consultation can take place in the comfort of your loved one's home. Our senior care coordinator will answer your questions and talk with you about your loved one's needs and how our care can help.

Some of the topics we may discuss during your consultation include:

• Why do you feel your loved one could benefit from care?
• What are the days and times you would like assistance?
• What types of emotional support would you like to see?
• Which services would you like to receive?
• What are your loved one's medication, sleep, and meal schedules?
• What are you looking for in a senior care provider?

Following your initial care consultation, we will begin working on your loved one's personalized care plan. We gather detailed information during the consultation that allows us to tailor our care to your loved one's exact needs. You, your loved one, and your loved one's physician will be involved in the creation of this care plan. Your loved one's plan will include the specific care services they will receive, as well as their schedule of caregiver visits.

Some of the most important aspects of choosing care for a loved one include making sure services can address their needs and that their caregiver is a good fit. At Visiting Angels Lexington, our in-home care includes our Select Your Caregiver^® program. Once we have a good feel for your loved one's personality and what type of provider they are looking for, we will match them with a member of our team. Our caregivers are able to form meaningful relationships with seniors. However, if you find your loved one and their caregiver are not a good match, we will choose a new provider to work with your family.
