Home Sweet Home with Our Trusted Home Care Team
As the tail-end of the baby boomers enter their 60s, where they want to live out their golden years, they'll be in the same place where they’ve made decades of memories: their own homes. Research indicates that many older adults prefer to age in place for as long as possible, with 75% of adults age 50 and above preferring to remain in their own communities and 87% of older adults age 65 and above wanting to stay in their own homes. Less than ten percent of older adults foresee themselves moving in the next five to ten years.
While it’s admirable that the majority of seniors desire to age in place, the fact of the matter is that not every senior will be able to do so successfully. The number of seniors requiring additional care as a result of facing at least one chronic health condition is on the rise and is projected to jump from 14% in 2010 to 21% by 2050. This means that more and more seniors are going to require extra care and support in order to achieve their goal of aging in place.
The good news is that there is help available to seniors who need additional support in order to remain safely and independently in the comfort of their own homes. Visiting Angels Sheboygan is here to offer older adults the opportunity to age in place with dignity and grace. Below are four ways our home care services ensure comfort and security so that older adults can continue to thrive in their own homes.
Personalized Care Plans
At Visiting Angels Sheboygan, we recognize the unique characteristics that shape the lives of each of our clients. We also value our clients’ personal preferences and coordinate care around their preferred routines. We treat each client as an individual; our clients never receive a cookie-cutter care plan because no two clients are the same. Instead, we work with each client and their family to develop a personalized care plan that is tailored to meet their individual needs and preferences. This ensures a comfortable and secure environment and allows seniors to remain in control of their most precious years ahead.
Companion Care
Although many seniors face physical hardships as they age, an often overlooked component of aging is loneliness. When seniors choose Visiting Angels Sheboygan, they are choosing a company that values the emotional and mental well-being of seniors, in addition to their physical health. Our compassionate caregivers support our clients by offering companionship. Our caregivers don’t just assist with personal care and other tasks; they work hard to establish a relationship with each client and engage them in meaningful activities that aim to enhance their overall quality of life. Our caregivers also offer transportation to places like Uptown Social, where seniors can participate in a vibrant community for older adults. Our companion care services aim to reduce feelings of loneliness and prevent social isolation that many seniors face as they strive to age in place.
Safety Monitoring
In addition to receiving personalized care and companionship, seniors who choose Visiting Angels Sheboygan also receive safety monitoring. Our caregivers undergo specialized training and know what signs to look for that might indicate a problem. For example, if you’ve started a new medication and have lost your appetite or are feeling dizzy, our caregivers recognize that these symptoms may be side effects of your new prescription. They can alert your family and keep them informed about any concerns. Many family members experience peace of mind when their aging loved one receives our home care services because they know their loved one is receiving regular check-ins. At Visiting Angels Sheboygan, our flexible scheduling and availability means that we can provide care whenever it’s needed, including emergency support and overnight care.
Local Ownership
Lastly, Visiting Angels Sheboygan is a locally owned and operated franchise. Because of this, our clients have great comfort and security when they choose us, knowing we are well-known and respected in the Sheboygan community. We offer a personalized approach to senior home care that comes with a deep understanding of our local community’s needs. We are also familiar with other exceptional local resources and programs available to seniors and their families, such as the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Sheboygan County and the Family Caregivers Coalition in Sheboygan County. We’re familiar with services like Fresh Meals on Wheels, where disabled and homebound seniors can sign up to receive healthy home-delivered meals, and Metro Connection, where seniors can schedule door-to-door transportation. We care deeply about seniors and make it our goal to help seniors and their families receive care and support, preserving their independence and dignity.
These are just a few of the ways Visiting Angels Sheboygan ensures the comfort and security of seniors in and around the local area. Our comprehensive and thoughtful approach allows us to provide exceptional care when it is needed most. Our professional caregivers are ready and eager to help you age in place safely and independently. Getting started is as easy as contacting us today by calling 920-221-1000.
