How to Get Started with Visiting Angels' At-Home Care in Livermore, Brentwood, Discovery Bay, CA, and Surrounding Cities

Tell your loved one ahead of time that you are thinking about hiring an at-home care expert so they can prepare for the appointment.

If a loved one is resistant, it's important to show that you value their input while stressing the importance of their health and well-being.

• Is there a chronic condition that calls for specialized care?
• Is there money set aside for elderly care at home?
