Berkshire In-Home Senior Care Near You
Due to declining abilities, many seniors struggle to keep up with daily life. For some, this can lead to a move to an assisted care facility. Our service is designed to prevent such a move by providing crucial in-home support from professional caregivers. We can keep your loved one safe and happy at home, allowing them to enjoy a level of comfort and privacy they won't find in a care facility.

Why Choose Berkshires Home Care for Your Loved One?
Living at home provides many amazing benefits. Seniors can stay connected to their normal routine, maintain some level of control over their daily life and have a stronger chance of avoiding serious emotional issues such as loneliness and isolation. With our help, you can give them all the support they need to feel safe, while providing yourself with peace of mind. We are proud to cooperate with families to build customized care plans for local seniors.
Here's why families choose Visiting Angels for our Berkshire senior care:
- Cost Savings. Wondering the cost of Berkshire home care for seniors? Compared to assisted living or nursing home residences, senior care in Berkshire County can be a significant savings. Even having up to eight hours a day of one-on-one personalized in-home care that we provide is still less of an expense than the alternatives.
- Personalization. Having a customized plan from a qualified and dedicated caregiver ensures your loved one is always getting the personalized care they deserve. We match your loved one with a caregiver who meets their exact needs but who also is a great fit for their unique personality and temperament.
- Safety. Having a professional caregiver assisting and watching over your loved one when you can’t be there is priceless. An experienced set of eyes that are trained to spot small but possibly important changes in mood, mobility, or health ensures any potential issues are brought to your attention right away.
- Reduced Anxiety. Aging adults often worry that they are burdening their children or family members. Knowing that there is someone else to help can relieve that anxiety. Additionally, our professional caregivers can take over personal tasks like bathing, grooming, dressing, or incontinence issues that your loved one may not feel comfortable having you involved in.
