At Visiting Angels^® Newton MA, we know inviting a professional caregiver into your loved one's home for care services can be intimidating. How do you choose the right person for your loved one? 

There are several things to consider when picking a caregiver services agency to care for your loved one:

• What scheduling options are available to my loved one?
• Will we have to sign up for a set list of caregiver services?
• What if the needs of my loved one change over the course of care?
• What if my family member doesn't feel comfortable with their caregiver?

You are encouraged to add your own questions to this list so the information you gather is pertinent to your loved one.

About Our Caregiver Services

When it comes to caregiver services from Visiting Angels Newton MA, we keep our care focused on the needs of individuals. Your loved one's care schedule will be built around their existing routines so they won't be asked to make changes. The caregiver services we provided will also be based on your loved one and their particular set of health and wellness concerns. We won't force you to sign up for care you don't need. If the home care requirements of your loved one change due to illness or injury, we can adjust our services accordingly.

Some of the most common caregiver services we provide include:

• Help with bathing, dressing and grooming
• Transportation to appointments
• Help running errands and shopping
• Help around the house with light cleaning tasks
• Help preparing meals
• Walking and transferring assistance
• Medication reminders

At Visiting Angels Newton MA we want you to be involved in the caregiver selection process. When our senior care services coordinators meet with your loved one, they will gather as much information as possible regarding your loved one's non-medical needs. We can gather information from a variety of sources including family caregivers, physicians, and other parties when needed. We will use this information to create personalized services for your loved one and to match them with a compatible caregiver. Your loved one will have the final say regarding whom they work with, so if for any reason your loved one does not "click" with their caregiver, Visiting Angels Newton MA will match them with another qualified provider for senior care services.

If you are in need of compassionate caregiver services for an aging loved one, call Visiting Angels Newton MA to learn more about our caregivers and services.
