No matter how well we take care of ourselves, the effects and difficulties of old age catch up with us one way or another. But as the caregivers at Visiting Angels Longview know, old age comes with different challenges for different people. Because of this, we’ve designed our home care services to meet a wide array of care needs for seniors in the Longview area.

If you have a loved one who is starting to have trouble living safely and comfortably at home, the caregivers at Visiting Angels Longview will be happy to lend a hand. Here are some of the many ways that our caregivers assist Longview-area seniors.

Physical Care & Support by Caregivers

Our caregivers most commonly assist Longview seniors by providing physical care and support. We make it easier to cope with and overcome physical difficulties, such as reduced strength, poor flexibility, loss of coordination, tremors, joint pain, and mobility challenges. Our caregivers make day-to-day living easier by helping out with activities that might otherwise be difficult, like dressing, grooming, bathing, and tasks around the home.

Memory Care & Cognitive Assistance

If your loved one is suffering from a memory disorder like Alzheimer’s, professional care can make a massive difference. But even seniors with mild forms of cognitive decline — such as occasional forgetfulness — can benefit from having someone to turn to when they find themselves confused or disoriented. Through our memory care programs, the caregivers at Visiting Angels Longview help those experiencing cognitive decline to live more safely and happily.

Lifestyle Support & Non-Medical Health Care

If your loved one has specific health concerns, the caregivers at Visiting Angels Longview can help make those concerns more manageable. We will coordinate care with your loved one’s health professionals to help your loved one live a healthy lifestyle. Our caregivers can help encourage healthy eating, support seniors through light exercise, and provide non-medical assistance for conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Caregiver Companionship for Longview Seniors

In their old age, many seniors find themselves isolated from friends and family. In some cases, a spouse they relied on has passed away. Other times, physical difficulties make it tough to get out of the house. When seniors become isolated, they are more likely to develop health problems and suffer from depression. By checking in on your loved one and providing them with compassion and conversation, the caregivers at Visiting Angels Longview help fight the effects of senior isolation.
