How Families in San Marcos and Surrounding Areas Can Get Started with Visiting Angels of North County

For over 20 years, Visiting Angels has provided trustworthy in-home elder care to families in San Marcos, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Rancho Bernardo, and other North County cities. Our mission is to give local seniors the assistance, companionship, and support they need to age in place at home while remaining safe, comfortable, and content. We urge you to contact our office to schedule a free in-home consultation, whether you and your loved ones are ready to begin receiving in-home care immediately or if you still have concerns that need to be addressed.

Visiting Angels® of North County provides free in-home consultations to families who are interested in learning more about our home care services. These discussions also allow our care coordinators to explain how we personalize care plans for seniors who wish to age in place. During the meeting, we will discuss the services your loved one needs, a prospective schedule of care, and your family's individual preferences and concerns.

Here is what we often discuss with North County families during consultations:

Physical Care Needs

If you tell us what your senior loved one has trouble with on a daily basis, we can help you figure out what kind of home care services will help. Our caregivers may provide hands-on assistance with daily tasks including getting dressed, grooming, and moving about the home.

Emotional Support and Socialization

At Visiting Angels of North County, we understand a senior's emotional needs are just as important as their physical needs. Because of the detrimental effects isolation may have on the health of seniors, we make social engagement and emotional support integral parts of our care plans. We'll find out more about your loved one's preferences in this regard, such as their preferred activities and social conventions.

Assistance with Household Tasks

In-home care services, such as assistance with light chores and food preparation, may be included in the care plan if your loved one has difficulty completing these tasks on their own or just need a helping hand.

Scheduling Preferences

Your family's schedule and your loved one's everyday routines, such as when they tend to eat meals and when they need medication reminders, will be taken into account while developing a care plan.

Logistical Details

If you have any concerns or questions concerning the planning and execution of your loved one's care, necessary paperwork, or how to stay in touch with our office, our care coordinators can address them during the consultation.

Caregiver Selection

Your loved one deserves the best in-home care possible, and we can assist you in finding the right caregiver during the in-home consultation. Visiting Angels of North County has a staff of trained senior care specialists from which we will choose a caregiver based on your loved one's requirements, schedule, and personality. Your loved one will ultimately have the choice of which caregiver they like to work with. We've found that this allows our Angels to develop meaningful relationships with their clients, which in turn improves the quality of in-home care they can provide. If things aren't going as planned, you may always ask for a different caregiver.
