Your loved one wants to live in the place they’ve always called home, but they’re beginning to have difficulty with doing basic tasks on their own. Rather than wondering what types of care can help make their dream of aging in place a reality, your first thought may be to move them to an assisted living facility or senior care center. At Visiting Angels^® of Saratoga, we’re here to show you the path to a more comfortable care solution for your loved one that enables them to stay where they feel they belong.

The Importance of Aging in Place

Aging in place gives seniors the opportunity to live life on their own terms throughout their golden years. Chances are, your loved one has built a life for themselves and envisioned spending their future in the comfort of their home and local community. Fulfilling this vision would not only give them the chance to remain in familiar surroundings, it would also provide the sense of purpose they need to truly thrive.

In-Home Care vs. Assisted Living

Assisted living is often seen as the main alternative to in-home care. However, there major differences between the two. Living in a senior care community or retirement center often limits seniors’ choices for daily activities and requires an emotionally traumatic move away from home. Furthermore, there are health-related consequences to consider. Studies have shown older adults who receive care in a shared setting may be at a greater risk of exposure to contagious illnesses.

How Visiting Angels of Saratoga Helps Families 

Our services help older individuals live at home no matter their circumstances. We match them with professional caregivers who can assist with a wide range of activities, including physically demanding tasks like bathing, getting dressed, and completing household chores.

We always strive to help seniors preserve the highest possible level of independence. As we design personalized service plans for our care recipients, we can easily take into account different lifestyle preferences, age-related care needs, and required forms of support. These plans can be modified over time whenever new needs arise or circumstances change.
