Q. What kind of non-medical home care services do you provide in Adrian and throughout South Central Michigan?

A: At Visiting Angels South Central Michigan, we provide an array of non-medical elder care services designed to help seniors with a variety of tasks and enable them to continue living safely and independently at home. Our services usually include fall prevention, assistance with personal hygiene, toileting, medication and fluid reminders, light housekeeping, meal planning and meal preparation, accompaniment, respite care for family caregivers, grocery shopping and/or running errands and more.

Q: What does the term "aging in place" mean?

A: The term is widely used in the caregiving industry to describe the ability of an individual to remain living in their own home or the home of a family member through the entirety of their golden years. Aging in place is the opposite of institutional care provided in nursing homes, but in some cases, it may also mean the ability to stay in an assisted living facility.

Q: Do you provide elder care services in assisted living facilities?

A:  Yes, we do that as well. Sometimes seniors come to the conclusion that the assistance provided in assisted living facilities is not adequate or sufficient enough for them to remain independent. When this is the case, Visiting Angels South Central Michigan can provide additional senior care inside an assisted living facility to provide an additional level of support for aging adults.

A: In general, our services are provided within a 48-hour time frame, but in the majority of cases, we can start working on the same day we receive your request.
