Q: What areas does Visiting Angels Loveland serve?
A: We proudly serve seniors and families in Loveland, Fort Collins, Greeley, Windsor, and surrounding communities. Our caregivers are familiar with the local area and can assist with both in-home care and transportation needs.
Q: How quickly can services be provided/started?
A: After your initial meeting with Visiting Angels Loveland, we can provide elderly home care services within a 48-hour timeframe. However, we make every effort to start working with you the same day when needed.
Q. What kind of services do you provide?
A: At Visiting Angels Loveland, we provide personalized elderly home care services tailored to address the specific needs of clients placed in our care so that they can remain living independently at home, regardless of any difficulties, conditions or age-related challenges. Our trained caregivers assist older adults with light housekeeping, laundering, meal preparation, shopping, errands, medication reminders, personal hygiene and transportation. We also provide friendly companionship and meaningful conversation to improve our clients' emotional well-being and need for social interaction.
Q: What does the term "aging in place" mean?
A: In the caregiving industry, we use the term aging in place to describe the ability of any person to grow old in their own home, or in the home of a family member. Aging in place is the opposite of institutional residential care usually provided in nursing homes. In some cases, aging in place can also refer to the ability to remain, with additional help, in an assisted living facility.
Q: How are your caregivers selected and trained?
A: We carefully screen and select caregivers through background checks, interviews, and reference checks. Each caregiver also undergoes thorough training to provide exceptional care tailored to each client’s needs. It’s also crucial to us that anyone who joins our team shares the same characteristic traits that make our Angels so special.
Q: Can I change the schedule if I have appointments to keep?
A: Whenever you need to make a change in your schedule, we can easily adapt with as little as one week’s notice. With Visiting Angels Loveland, you will be completely in control, meaning your needs, your requests, and your schedule come first.
Q: Do you provide care in assisted living facilities?
A: Yes, we do. When older adults feel that they need additional care in an assisted living facility, we can make that happen. Visiting Angels can provide a skilled senior care provider to supplement the care that is received in assisted living facilities. Often, these facilities have staff that need to care for more than one resident at a time, so our caregivers can provide one-on-one individualized attention when needed.
Q: How can I get started with Visiting Angels Loveland?
A: Get in touch with our Loveland, CO, office today and ask for your free in-home consultation. Our friendly team members will then visit you and your loved one in their home to assess how we can help, and to develop a personalized care plan revolving around those needs. Once we agree on the elderly home care services and schedule of visits your loved one needs, we proceed by matching your loved one with a trained, skilled caregiver(s) who compliments their needs best, and they begin working for you.
