About Our Home Care Services in Siouxland

If you're providing home care options for a loved one in Siouxland, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. It can be difficult to adjust to this new dynamic with a relative. In addition, the scope of care can change a lot from one day to the next. Our dedicated caregivers are here to support your own caregiving efforts and ensure your loved one gets the help they need to thrive.

Depending on your loved one's health and care needs, our home care can include the following:

• Transport to appointments
• Handling errands and groceries
• Prepping and preparing meals
• Aiding with walking and transferring
• Doing basic household chores
• Providing companionship
• Helping with dressing, bathing, and using the bathroom
• Taking over for family caregivers
• Providing medication reminders

Since your loved one's needs aren't confined to weekdays or office hours, our home care services aren't either. Our caregivers are available at any time, including weekends, holidays, evenings, and overnight.

How We Approach Home Care in Siouxland

At Visiting Angels Siouxland, our mission is to improve every client's quality of life however we can. To help your loved one live as comfortably and contentedly as possible at home, we need to find out what they need.

To begin our home care process, we'll guide you through the following:

• An initial conversation - When you call (712) 212-9246, we can tell you about our services and rates, discuss your general situation, and set up a no-cost assessment for your loved one.
• An in-depth evaluation and plan creation - We'll meet with your loved one and any other family members who are involved in their care to go into more detail about your situation. We'll ask your loved one about their routine, what they find stressful or challenging, and what they hope that home care can help with. We'll ask your family these questions, too. Then, together, we can put together a custom care plan and schedule that suits everyone.
• Caregiver selection and approval - With a care plan in hand, we can choose a care professional who we believe could work well with your loved one and your family as a whole. We can also arrange a face-to-face meeting, so you can all approve of our recommendation.

Personal Care in Siouxland

Personal care is the backbone of our home care services. If your loved one can no longer meet their day-to-day needs because routine tasks are getting too difficult, our caregivers can help. The tasks they can perform for or with your relative include:

• Running their errands
• Picking up their groceries
• Helping them get dressed, use the bathroom, and bathe
• Reminding them to take their medications on schedule
• Driving them to appointments and outings
• Planning and cooking their meals
• Helping them walk and change locations more safely

Respite Care in Siouxland

Caring for a loved one is a huge responsibility that can easily take over other areas of your life. However, it's important for both you and your loved one that you take time to rest and address your own needs too. Our caregivers can look after your relative temporarily, so you can focus on your own well-being and other areas of your life.

Companion Care and Social Care Services

For seniors who live far from their loved ones or who can't venture out with friends and family as easily, social isolation and a lack of stimulation are all too common. As well as limiting your loved one's quality of life, these issues can also put their physical and cognitive health at risk.

We prioritize emotional and cognitive well-being as part of our home care by providing companionship, planning interesting activities, and helping our clients use online tools and technology to stay more connected.

Alzheimer's Care and Dementia Care Services

Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia can make it even more challenging for seniors to age in place. Our care professionals can address many of the most troubling symptoms in the following ways:

• Checking in regularly
• Providing mental stimulation
• Keeping seniors on track with appointments and medications
• Monitoring their state of mind
• Preventing wandering
• Making sure they eat fresh, filling meals

End of Life Care and Palliative Care Services

Our care professionals can be there to make your loved one comfortable as they near the end of their life, or as they undergo treatment for a serious condition.

We offer end of life care to give our clients the chance to spend their remaining time with family in a peaceful setting. Our palliative care is an option for anyone with a critical illness. It prioritizes emotional, spiritual, and social well-being as well as physical comfort.

Ready-Set-Go Home Program

We developed this program to reduce hospital readmission rates among seniors, which are especially high within a month after discharge. Our care team can assist your family at the hospital and at home, ensuring your loved one receives the follow-up care and support they need to recover.

Safe & Steady Fall Prevention Program

A fall can be a life-altering event for seniors. We can help reduce your loved one's fall risk at home by identifying hazards, recommending basic alterations, and helping them with tasks that might be difficult or dangerous.
