Incidental Transportation from Richmond-Area In-Home Care Providers
When you have a family of your own and you need to juggle personal obligations with providing care for your elderly loved one, driving them someplace every time they need transportation is sometimes simply impossible.

How Our In-Home Care Providers Help Seniors in Richmond, VA and Surrounding Areas Reach Their Destination
Even though your senior loved one is retired and is enjoying their golden years in the comfort of their own home, they most likely have a robust routine that involves going to certain places. For example, they may need to go to the Bremo Pharmacy to pick up medication refills, return books at the Richmond Public Library or want to attend weekly Lunch & Life lectures at The Shepherd's Center Of Richmond. However, if your parent is disabled or struggles with mobility issues, they may need your help in getting to wherever they need to go throughout the day. You naturally want what's best for your loved one and making sure they're able to go out is important because isolation caused by a lack of physical freedom often leads to depression and anxiety. However, you may not always have the means to transport your loved one, especially if you have a time-consuming career or you live outside the Richmond area.
If your parent is in need of transportation and other in-home senior care services, you can count on Visiting Angels Richmond. We've been helping our clients get where they need to go safely since 2007. Because our care plans are fully personalized, you can schedule caregiver visits whenever they're most convenient for your loved one. So whether they need to shop for groceries, get a haircut or go to a doctor's appointment, you can have peace of mind knowing they're in the capable and caring hands of our in-home care providers.

Providing Support for Seniors Before, During and After the Trip
While our Angels can take you senior loved one anywhere they need to go, they can also do so much more. As part of our senior care services, our in-home care providers will help your parent with getting dressed and prepare them for the trip. Whenever needed, a caregiver can take notes during medical appointments, report back to you or other family members and keep your loved one company until they are ready to head back home. If your loved one plans on going out for most of the day, our caregivers can also prepare a light snack or bring a water bottle so they can keep their strength up throughout the day.
When they arrive back home, our in-home care providers can ensure your parent stays safe and comfortable until their full-time care providers arrive.
What Other Senior Care Services Does Visiting Angels Offer in the Richmond Area?
Incidental transportation is just one of the many senior care services we offer to our clients in the Richmond area. In addition to incidental transportation, your loved one’s care plan can include other services they may need in order to maintain their independence. For example, after a trip to the grocery store, our in-home care providers can prepare nutritious meals for your loved one or assist them with vacuuming or other light housekeeping tasks.
While calling a taxi service might seem like a good idea if your parent needs to go to reoccurring medical appointments, attend family gatherings or go shopping, counting on in-home care providers from Visiting Angels Richmond can provide a more comprehensive and personalized solution to helping them age in place.
With our personalized in-home senior care services, your loved one can remain safe, comfortable and content at home for as long as possible.
