How We Personalize Our Home Care in Old Bridge

Understanding your loved one's care needs — and the wider context of their care — is key to providing the best possible support.

At Visiting Angels Matawan, we personalize all our home care services in the Old Bridge area by guiding each client through the following steps:

1. An introductory conversation where we discuss the client's general situation and go over our services and rates
2. An in-home assessment where we ask for further details about each client's needs, routine, preferences, and goals regarding home care
3. A plan-building process where we craft a custom care plan and schedule with the client and their family members
4. A caregiver recommendation where we suggest one of our care professionals based on their abilities, availability, and personality
5. An ongoing dialogue with our clients and their families to ensure everyone's needs are met once care begins

Our Personal Care Services

For many families, the first sign that an elderly loved one needs home care is that they avoid or neglect some basic day-to-day activities. If you've noticed that your relative isn't as put together as usual, or you've already stepped in to tackle basic chores, our caregivers can help.

Our personal care includes support with routine tasks such as:

• Bathing and dressing
• Cooking and grocery shopping
• Running errands and arranging transport
• Providing medication reminders
• Doing basic chores like laundry
• Walking safely outside and around the home
• Going to the bathroom

Alzheimer's and Dementia Care Services

If your family member has been diagnosed with any form of dementia, it can be even more difficult to take care of themselves without regular support. Our care professionals in the Old Bridge area offer specialized assistance to help seniors with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, including appointment and medication reminders, meal planning and prep, and engaging company.

Companion Care and Social Care 

Social engagement can play an important role in your loved one's physical, cognitive, and emotional health. If your loved one, like many seniors, seems more isolated than before, our friendly caregivers can help them re-engage with the world. In addition to uplifting conversation and activities, our caregivers can help tech-adverse seniors with online tools. 

Palliative Care

Our palliative care includes physical, spiritual, emotional, and social support for people with serious health concerns, whatever their age or where they are in terms of treatment. 

End of Life Care

Through our compassionate end of life care, we help our clients feel as comfortable as possible as they approach their end of life transition. Additionally, our care team supports families logistically and emotionally throughout this period.

Respite Care

As a family caregiver, you may feel you have no choice but to push your own wants and needs to the wayside. However, neglecting your mental and physical well-being isn't sustainable long-term.

With our as-needed respite care, you can entrust your loved one's needs to our competent care professionals while you take care of yourself for a change.

Safe & Steady Fall Prevention Program

For your seniors, a bad fall can mean the difference between living independently and needing more hands-on assistance. To help reduce the risk of falls at home, we can assess your loved one's home and individual risk factors, suggest fall-proofing measures, and make sure they have the physical support they need at home. 

Ready-Set-Go Home Program

If your loved one will soon be returning home from the hospital, our transitional care program can help reduce their risk of readmission. Hospital readmission rates are especially high within the first month of returning home.

We can advocate for your family at the hospital, make sure you know what questions to ask, and help your loved one stay on track with their discharge instructions at home.
