How Elder Care in Santa Barbara Can Help Your Family Find Peace of Mind

When our family members start to face the many and complex challenges of aging, it can be hard for us to stand by and watch. That's particularly true if you don't live near your loved ones. At Visiting Angels^® Santa Barbara, we offer a compassionate alternative for seniors and their families, with long-distance elder care services. 

In-home care and support can significantly improve the well-being of seniors struggling with age-related difficulties. At our agency, we take great pride in delivering responsive and wide-ranging care to seniors living in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Buellton, Santa Maria, Lompoc, Solvang, Carpinteria, Ojai, and Santa Ynez Valley. 

Our long-distance care allows families to participate in conversations and decisions about elder care. We can connect to you over email and by phone, so you can help your loved one in Santa Barbara make sure they're getting the support that's right for them. 

Our Comprehensive Elder Care in Santa Barbara 

When you consider home care services from Visiting Angels Santa Barbara, you'll find that we offer extensive options that can be further customized based on your loved one's needs. You, your loved one, and your family will have the ability to weigh in on every aspect of care: 

• The schedule of care. Our customized plans always take into account the existing routines, preferences, and care needs of each client. 
• Your caregiver of choice. The Select Your Caregiver^® program allows you and your family member to veto any caregiver that's selected to provide care. 
• Updates in the plan. We make it very easy for families to update your loved one's schedule of care, so it can fit their evolving needs. 

The Benefits of Aging in Place

Helping your loved one stay at home may be more important than you realize. While life in a care facility can provide security and safety, it comes at a huge cost. Giving up the privacy and familiarity of home is a big deal, and we believe that it's beneficial for seniors to live at home for as long as safely possible. With our support, Visiting Angels Santa Barbara is committed to helping you keep your loved one where they belong. The benefits of aging in place with our elder care support include:

• Safety. We work hard to reduce safety hazards and prevent household falls. Your loved one will have customized support to meet their specific needs and protect them from dangerous tasks. 
• Comfort. Living at home provides levels of comfort that cannot be replaced by a care facility. We will help to ensure that your loved one can enjoy these comforts for as long as possible. 
• Privacy. When dealing with the struggles of aging, it really helps to have a private setting where your loved one can maintain their dignity. 
• Routine. Remaining at home means keeping up with their daily life and establishing a normal routine. This can really help those with memory-based disorders by reducing confusion and stress. 
• Connection. Living in a care facility can be isolating for many seniors, so by living at home, your loved one will have a better chance at remaining connected with friends, family, and the outside world. 

Honest and Dependable Caregivers To Set Your Mind at Ease

As a home care provider, we fully understand how uneasy many families feel about bringing a stranger into their loved one's home. We recognize that this is a huge responsibility, which is why we only hire people who are worthy of the role. When selecting caregivers to join our team, we rely on extensive background and reference checks to find people who are loving, trustworthy, and dependable.

You can always count on our caregivers to provide respectful and reliable care that keeps your loved one safe, happy, and comfortable. We also work hard to make sure they feel a sense of companionship, as many seniors struggle with loneliness and isolation. Your relative will have a helpful, compassionate, and likable person around to chat with and share their daily life.
