At Visiting Angels in Manassas, we understand that arranging senior care services for a loved one can be complicated for many families, so we strive to make the process as stress-free as possible

If you have noticed that they have an increasing amount of trouble maintaining their independence without compromising their health and safety, in-home care may be the right solution for them. However, getting started and choosing the right company may seem like an overwhelming prospect right now.

Here at Visiting Angels, we have all the right experience when it comes to assisting older clients in Manassas, VA and surrounding communities with high-quality senior care services. Over the years, we have developed a series of steps to help new families get started with our care services. We want to make sure we are always doing our best and providing older adults with exactly the sort of care they need to not only maintain their independence, but also live their Golden Years on their own terms despite challenges they may be facing.

How We Help Families Arrange Senior Care Services

The way we start to build a care plan for each of our new clients is with an initial meeting. During this meeting, we will meet with you and your elderly loved one. At this time, we will look into any and all aspects of your loved one's life that will have an impact on their care plan. This includes things like the current state of their health, any scheduling concerns, special requests and anything else that may come up.

This initial meeting is a great chance for any and all questions. It is also a time to share any anxiety or concerns you may be having about our home care services, including costs, services available and the experience of our caregivers. We can help answer any questions and speak to all concerns.

At the same time, if you are just getting used to the idea of in-home care and don’t know what to ask, here are some of the most common questions that come up during this initial meeting:

• How can Visiting Angels help take care of a senior's bathing, grooming and dressing needs?
• Can Visiting Angels help my parent prepare their meals?
• What about mobility, transferring and incontinence?
• Do we need to go over my parent's sleeping, eating and medicinal schedule right now?
• How can Visiting Angels help my loved one stay more socially active?

Do not hesitate. Give our Manassas office a call today. We are a compassionate bunch and can help answer any questions you may be having about senior care services.
