How Families in Raleigh, NC and Surrounding Areas Can Modify Care Plans from Visiting Angels

With so many options in Wake County, it might be challenging to choose the best senior home care provider for your loved one. You will still need to be involved in your parents' care even after you and your loved one have found an agency that works for them. Due to the rapid decline in health that comes with advancing age, it is important to check in with your loved one on a regular basis to see how they are doing with their care plan and if any changes would be beneficial.

There is no need for a large level of commitment on your part to make a significant difference in the care of a senior loved one. Talking to a loved one once a year or anytime you sense they are going through a tough time might accomplish a lot.

The best way to gauge whether your loved one needs to have their care plan modified is to ask them open-ended questions such as:

• How is their strength and mobility?


• Have they been experiencing a recent decline in their overall well-being?


• Do they feel as though they're socializing at a level that they're comfortable with? Do they feel lonely and need additional companionship?


• Are they satisfied with the home care services they're currently receiving?


• Are they as comfortable as they can be?


• Do they feel comfortable around their current caregiver?


• Do they feel as though the caregiver visits are long enough or would they benefit from extended visits and around-the-clock support?


• Has anything come up recently that would require additional support, like an upcoming surgery or worsening symptoms of a chronic illness?
