Each of our clients has a unique set of in-home care needs and preferences. In order to age in place safely and comfortably, these needs and preferences need to be met. That's why we create personalized care plans for each individual. It is important to cater to your loved one's needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. We will combine our services to address each area of difficulty your loved one may be experiencing.

Our care is also available at any time it is needed. We have a team of caregivers who have around-the-clock availability. Whether your loved one needs part-time assistance a few days per week or everyday care, we can meet their needs. Our care is also easily adapted to changing needs. Your loved one may begin to need more care as they continue to age in place, and we can alter their care plan accordingly.

Choosing Visiting Angels Jacksonville gives your loved one access to high-quality and compassionate in-home care. We support frequent communication with family members as well, so you can stay up-to-date about your loved one's health and well-being. Our care is designed to bring you comfort and peace of mind.

About Our Team of Local Caregivers

When selecting a care provider for your aging loved one, you want to find a local agency that is trustworthy and able to meet your needs. Visiting Angels Jacksonville is a locally owned and operated senior care agency. Our team consists of local caregivers who have been carefully selected to join our team and serve our clients.

We have a thorough hiring process in place to ensure we are working with caregivers who are trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Following in-person interviews, our potential caregivers also go through both reference and background checks. We want to hire upstanding individuals who can provide exceptional care for our clients. This brings peace of mind to our team, our clients, and their families.

If you choose to proceed with our care, we will match your loved one with a caregiver who will meet their needs. These pairings are made based on each client's needs, schedule, and personality. If your loved one is ever unsatisfied with their caregiver, they can request a new one through our Select Your Caregiver^® program. We can make a new pairing until your loved one feels safe and comfortable with their caregiver.
