Home care from Visiting Angels Lexington encompasses a variety of senior care options. Our agency provides specialized aid for dementia, Alzheimer's, and limited mobility, as well as social care, elderly companion care, transitional care, respite, private duty care, end of life care, and more. No matter which type of assistance your loved one requires, they will gain joyful companionship to help reduce their risk of isolation.

How Our Home Care in Lexington Helps Local Seniors

Seniors throughout Lexington are able to receive customized home care from our agency. We know your loved one is not likely to have the exact same needs as anyone else, and we believe their care should address their unique needs. If your family member has special care concerns due to the effects of limited mobility, diabetes, Alzheimer's, arthritis, Parkinson's, or other ailment, our services can accommodate their needs.

Many seniors find the following home care services from Visiting Angels Lexington helpful:

• Aid with transportation to/from appointments
• Providing meaningful companionship
• Assistance running errands and shopping
• Help with walking and fall prevention
• Offering reminders to take medication
• Dignified bathing and dressing assistance
• Help with personal care and grooming
• Planning and preparing nutritious meals
• Going for walks and other light exercise 

In addition to the above services, we also have programs in place to address more specific needs. Some of these programs include Alzheimer's and dementia care, transitional care after a hospital stay, and end-of-life-care. All of our programs and services can be customized to meet your loved one's exact needs. We will combine our services in a way that addresses the challenges they are facing with independent living.

In order to meet your loved one's care needs, our caregivers offer flexible scheduling. They are available around the clock, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your loved one needs everyday care or a few visits per week, we can be there when they need it.

Your loved one's needs may change over time. Chronic conditions or changes in mobility may cause different challenges to your loved one's ability to age in place. Our care is easily adapted to their changing needs. A simple phone call is all it takes to make changes to your loved one's care plan and schedule of visits. We are committed to meeting your loved one's needs at all times.

About Our Team of Caregivers

Some in-home care providers may be larger companies with no ties to the local community. At Visiting Angels Lexington, you will find a team of local owners, caregivers, and staff. We are connected to the Lexington area community and take pride in working with local seniors and families.

When creating our team, we take great care in choosing caregivers. We want to select local individuals who are passionate about elderly care and have flexible availability. Our hiring process includes interviews, reference checks, and criminal background checks. You can feel comfortable with your loved one in the hands of our caregivers.

The success of our care lies in creating compatible client and caregiver pairings. Our Select Your Caregiver^® program helps us create these pairings. We will initially pair your loved one with a caregiver we feel closely matches their needs and schedule. If your loved one is unsatisfied with this initial pairing, we can make another pairing. Our goal is to make everyone feel safe and comfortable.
