Getting Started with Senior Home Care in Newton, MA and Nearby Areas
Begin non-medical homecare with Visiting Angels Newton/Canton by speaking with one of our knowledgeable case managers about the type of service you or your loved one requires. The case manager will schedule an assessment visit with you. This meeting includes a detailed review of care needed, schedule options, special care requests by family or client, and caregiver qualities and experience desired. Your case manager will answer any questions you may have about home care. We will walk you through the process, that at times can feel overwhelming, and give you the support you need to ensure a successful transition to home care. Our goal is to assist in allowing our clients to age comfortably at home.
