Getting Started with Home Care in Des Moines

At Visiting Angels Seattle, our care professionals understand that everyone has different preferences and concerns about home care — even when the need itself seems clear. Throughout the care process, we'll do everything we can to help everyone in the family adapt to this shift.

Are there specific tasks your loved one struggles with, or would you just feel more at ease to have a care professional there? Whatever your loved one's current care needs and support system, we can work with you to figure out the right approach. To start, we'll go through the following process:

• First call - Contact us to describe your situation, learn more about our services, and discuss scheduling options and rates for care.
• Assessment - We will set up a no-cost consultation where we meet with your loved one to find out more about their condition, current support, personal preferences, and other considerations. We can also answer any other questions you might have.
• Care customization - Together with your family, we can draw up a custom care plan and schedule to best support your loved one and anyone involved with their care.
• Caregiver selection - We'll recommend a care professional from our team based on their personality, availability, and experience.
• Continued communication - A care manager will oversee your loved one's care and maintain regular contact with your family to keep you in the loop and adapt your loved one's care plan if necessary.

Our Personal Care in Des Moines

• Getting to and from appointments
• Buying groceries and preparing nutritious meals
• Providing reminders to take medications on schedule
• Doing laundry and other basic chores
• Using the restroom

Our Companion Care and Social Care Services

If your elderly loved one seems more withdrawn and isolated, we can help with our companion care. Through friendly conversations, enjoyable outings, and the comfort of a consistent presence, our caregivers can lift your loved one's spirits and improve their state of mind.

To help them engage more easily with friends and family, we can also assist with online messaging services and social media tools through our social care program.

Our Alzheimer's Care and Dementia Care Services

Stability is vital for seniors who are experiencing cognitive decline. If your loved one has been diagnosed with any form of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, we can provide the support they need to maintain a familiar routine. This includes wandering prevention, medication and appointment reminders, mental engagement, and frequent check-ins.

Our Safe & Steady Fall Prevention Program

For seniors, falls can lead to serious injuries that severely restrict their independence. To help your loved one retain their independence for as long as possible, we've made fall prevention a key part of our care.

Our care team can identify sources of risk based on your loved one's condition and living situation. Then, we can make personalized recommendations to help counter these risks.

Our Ready-Set-Go Home Transitional Care Program

Hospital readmission is a significant health concern among seniors. The first month home after a hospital stay poses the greatest risk of readmission, which is why we offer transitional assistance as part of our home care in Des Moines.

Through our Ready-Set-Go Home program, we can help your family ask the right questions at the hospital, create a detailed discharge plan, and help physically transport your loved one home. There, we can help your loved one with their day-to-day needs and keep them on track with their follow-up care. With our assistance, your loved one can focus on recovery.

Our Palliative Care Service

Through our Palliative Care service, we promote the comfort and quality of life for individuals living with serious health issues. This service includes emotional and spiritual support.

Our End of Life Care Service

If someone dear to you has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, it can send a shockwave through the entire family. At Visiting Angels Seattle, we provide compassionate end of life care for clients who have reached this final stage. As part of this care, we can make your loved one as comfortable as possible and support your family through the emotional and logistical challenges ahead.
