Our home care services are custom designed to meet the unique needs of seniors in the Gloucester area. At Visiting Angels^® Northern Neck-Middle Peninsula, our compassionate caregiving team is dedicated to supporting elderly adults with their daily activities. With the assistance of our home care professionals, seniors who want to age in place can comfortably and safely go about their day-to-day lives with the benefit of a helping hand.

How Home Care Works

We can arrange for services according to the schedule of the care recipient and their family caregivers. For example, a caregiver can assist your loved one for a few hours per day while you run errands, or they can provide 24/7 monitoring and dedicated care. It all depends on the forms of support your family needs at the moment.

Our caregivers are equipped to deliver a wide range of home care services in the Gloucester area, such as:

• Reminders about medication schedules
• Changing linens and taking care of household chores
• Assisting seniors with bathing and getting dressed
• Grocery shopping and making healthy meals
• Being a patient and engaging conversation partner

If you feel overwhelmed as a family caregiver, don’t wait to seek help. Burnout can have tremendous consequences for both you and your loved one, affecting your own well-being and the quality of care you’re able to provide. Reaching out for help with your caregiving duties can enable you to find balance in your life without having to resort to moving your loved one to a shared living facility.

The Core Values of Our Home Care Support

We know that securing outside assistance is a difficult step for many families to take. After all, the caregiver we send will provide help for your loved one in their most vulnerable moments, so you need to be absolutely certain that this is a person you can trust. For this reason, we conduct detailed background and reference checks on every caregiver before they join our team. We select people who are kind, qualified, and eager to uphold our core values. These values include:

• Compassion. The most important thing is to provide a kind, loving, and safe space for every senior where their needs are always met. 
• Comfort. We also strive to make life easier for every senior, so our caregiver will take care of household chores, errands, meal prep, and more to simplify daily life.
• Transparency. We value transparency in our services, so family members can expect to be fully informed at all times. 
• Positivity. Part of our role is to create a positive and happy living environment where your loved one will have wonderful companionship from someone they like and trust. 
• Respect. We are committed to treating each senior like a member of our own family, so you can expect warm, loving, and respectful support at all times. 
• Resourcefulness. Caring for seniors means adjusting to their changing needs, so we select caregivers who are highly resourceful and ready to take on this challenge.
