Why Home Life Matters

Whether you're old or young, odds are, you enjoy the comforts of home. Having our own private space to relax and unwind is an essential part of human life, but for many seniors, remaining at home without outside help can be difficult. At Visiting Angels Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula, we believe that remaining at home can be very beneficial for seniors, and we work hard to help more people enjoy this quality of life. 

Here are five reasons to help your loved one age in place and avoid the move to a care facility. 

• Comfort. Living at home is more comfortable, as seniors can enjoy their own personal space and remain in the place they've lived in for years. 
• Privacy. The privacy of living at home cannot be matched. For seniors struggling with various physical, mental, and emotional issues, this extra privacy can help them maintain more dignity as they get older. 
• Familiarity. For those with Alzheimer's or dementia, staying in their familiar home can reduce confusion and create a more relaxed living situation. We offer memory support and other assistance to make a safe home life possible for those with memory-based disorders. 
• Routine. Life at home comes with the comfort and familiarity of their normal daily routine, which is a great way to reduce mental and emotional health issues. 
• Social connection. Social isolation is a normal part of life for many seniors, but it doesn't have to be that way! By living at home with our support, your loved one will have a better chance at remaining connected to friends and family. We provide transportation, memory reminders, mobility aid, and other support to facilitate an active social life. 

Our Process for Finding The Right Caregivers

To make sure every caregiver we hire is worthy of this important role, we rely on both background and reference checks to vet these people before they join our team. This allows us to select only the most competent, reliable and kindhearted people to support local seniors. When you sign up for our elder care, you can count on attentive and kindhearted support that enhances your loved one's quality of life and provides you with peace of mind.
