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

A: When it comes to senior home care, the term aging in place typically refers to the ability for seniors to stay in the comfort of their own home safely and comfortably with outside assistance. This situation is the opposite of a nursing home or any other type of residential care. Other times, it may also mean the ability to stay in an assisted living facility with extra support.

Q: Do you provide services in assisted living facilities?

A:  Yes, we certainly do. Many people, both senior clients and their family members, often discover that there isn’t enough assistance being given in an assisted living facility. As this aid is insufficient to remain independent, Visiting Angels would then provide caregivers to make this possible.

Q: How quickly can care services be provided/started?

A:  Senior home care services can begin, in general, within 48 hours.

Q: Can I change the schedule if I have appointments to keep?

A:  Yes, this is certainly possible with as little as one-week advance notice. At Visiting Angels, we believe in making your loved one’s care schedule work in your favor, according to their needs and demands. As such, we strive to accommodate any requests.

Q: How do I start?

A: To start with our home health services, contact us at 937-813-6568. We can then book a free, no-obligation assessment in the comfort of your loved one’s home. At your direction, we will then identify aides with the necessary availability, personality, and skills to assist your loved one. After meeting your caregiver and giving your approval, we can then schedule senior home care services.
