It’s not uncommon for adult children to find themselves searching for assisted living for an elderly parent or loved one. The process can seem daunting when trying to find care for a family member who lives far away. Please be assured that reliable, affordable elder care does exist, and you can find it at Visiting Angels^® Chicago.

When you don’t live close enough to drop by a loved one’s home frequently, it’s hard to know whether they’re taking their medications at the correct time and dosage. You may have concerns about their ability to perform household tasks such as laundry and vacuuming. Personal care may become an issue as it gets more difficult to bathe independently. These are all normal and valid concerns. Thankfully, you have access to elder care for your loved one through Visiting Angels Chicago.

At Home Elder Care

The compassionate caregivers at Visiting Angels Chicago provide a wealth of at-home elder care for our clients. We can help with the activities of daily living that often become cumbersome as people age. We also provide personal care, palliative care, transitional care, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease care, and end-of-life care. Our customized plans allow your input regarding which type of care would be most beneficial to your loved one.

Most of our care revolves around the effort of making daily life easier and more fulfilling for our clients. Here are some of the ways our elder care at Visiting Angels Chicago can assist your loved one:

• Light housekeeping and laundry assistance
• Meal planning and preparation
• Running errands
• Mobility assistance
• Transportation for appointments
• Medication reminders
• Friendly companionship

Our clients often find companion care particularly helpful when an aging parent doesn’t have family members nearby. Our team of caregivers engage your loved one in conversations and friendly games and share their favorite pastimes. Social care is also valuable because it helps connect aging clients with family and friends via the use of online media such as Facebook and Skype. Feeling connected to others can help combat depression that can be common in the elderly population. Assisted living at home from Visiting Angels Chicago can offer your loved one various benefits.

No matter what level of care your loved one requires, we can provide the care they need. We can create both part-time and full-time schedules.

The personalized nature of our care also makes it easy to alter. Over time, your loved one may experience injuries, illnesses, and changes in overall health.
