Getting the Most Out of Home Care
Seniors and their loved ones turn to home care for various reasons, from maintaining independence and a need for companionship, to more comprehensive needs like hands-on assistance with the activities of a day. However, senior home care isn’t as one-dimensional as it may seem. Instead, clients can choose from different types of senior home care scheduling options to get the most value. And regardless of your family’s scheduling needs and decision, there are other great options to expand the assistance you receive.
With Visiting Angels Matawan, there are two distinct services that can help a family get the most out of their senior home care decision – both financially and from a convenience standpoint. We focus here on two examples: our Live-In Care option and our Visiting Angels Concierge Service (VACS).
While live-in care can provide your aging loved one with a hands-on, round-the-clock caregiver presence, the VACS allows you to tailor the services to your needs. VACS goes beyond traditional in-home care services to ensure you get the most from your home care experience. Keep reading to learn more about these unique services.
Visiting Angels Matawan Live-In Home Care

Visiting Angels Concierge Service (VACS)
The Visiting Angels Concierge Service provides seniors with a comprehensive solution that can be utilized as an a la carte or as a full-scale solution. It combines well for live-in clients, reducing some of the isolation and limitations experienced by home-bound clients. The included services extend well beyond what’s traditionally included in senior home care to provide for all your aging loved one’s needs. For example, here are some of the most valuable services included in VACS:
- RN on-call visits
- Medical and podiatry house calls

- Medication pill box set-up
- Incidental transportation
- Home safety advice and guidance
- Hairstylist or barber services

The VACS is available to all Visiting Angels Matawan clients (both hourly and live-in). VACS services are available as a discounted package or on an as-needed basis. The VACS is particularly helpful if you live a great distance from your aging loved one or struggle to find time to visit.
