Home Care in Palmer

provider of home care in Palmer assisting elderly patient on to couchPalmer, Massachusetts, aka “The Town of Seven Railroads,” was founded in 1716. Five of the railroads are still operating today, one was built but never operated, and one was not completed. The once-busy Union Station, a magnificent Richardsonian Romanesque structure from 1884, has become a train-themed family restaurant, Steaming Tender, featuring hearty New England fare and wonderful artifacts from the railroad out in the yard. 

Palmer’s Public Library is one of the best in Western MA and has an entire room dedicated to the city’s 19th-century railroad history. On the third floor, the Quaboag Valley Historical Center has many books, maps, photos, and documents that tell the story of Palmer and the towns that surround it.

The Yankee Flea Market in Palmer is an impressive concentration of antiques with 200+ vendors over a whopping 16,000 square feet and includes an extensive array of antiques, including vintage signs, furniture, jewelry, license plates, dolls, toys, paintings, etc. Another terrific destination is the Palmer Antiques Co-Op, which has more than 100 dealers and fresh inventory on a regular basis. 

Near the bank of the Quaboag River, the Midura Conservation Area includes 222 acres of nature that are used for hunting (with permits), hiking, photography, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dog walking, nature study, and more.

Palmer is one of only thirteen municipalities in MA that have city forms of government but retain “The town of” in their official names. Composed of four separate and distinct villages, Palmer is home to a population of 12,448 as of the 2020 census, over a total area of 32 square miles, most of which is land.  

The Palmer Senior Center has a mission of promoting and encouraging activities, services, and education designed to enhance the quality of life for Palmer’s seniors, helping them to age with dignity and independence. 

Visiting Angels of Southbridge has a similar mission and is proud to provide home care services to seniors living in Palmer and the surrounding communities. 

Home Care in Palmer MA

Visiting Angels of Southbridge offers a better choice for seniors than moving into an assisted living facility. Our network includes hundreds of Visiting Angels agencies across the country, each independently owned and operated by someone with deep roots in their local community. 

Our personalized approach to home care begins with a free, comprehensive in-home assessment of your loved one’s needs. During this time, we will meet with your loved one and your family and answer all of the questions you have. We will then develop a home care plan that will help your loved one continue to live safely in their Palmer home. 

We have designed our home care services to be flexible so they can be adapted as necessary to meet the needs of your loved one and your family. For some of the specific age-related challenges of daily living, our personal care services can include a variety of activities, such as help with toileting, bathing and dressing, shopping and meal preparation, laundry and light housekeeping, transportation and errands, medication reminders, companionship, and more.

If you or your family have been shouldering the load as family caregivers, our respite care services can help you avoid burnout and give you a chance to take a much-needed break. As with all of our in-home care, our services are flexible and can be customized as needed. 

Visiting Angels of Southbridge has assembled a team of loving home care providers who have a passion for caring for our clients. Give Visiting Angels a call today and let us show you a better option, one that allows your loved one to “age in place” in the comfort of their Palmer home.
