Elder Care for Families Separated by Long Distances

Today, many adult children live at a distance from their aging parents. In most circumstances, regular phone calls, video chats, and holiday visits can bridge this gap. However, when age-related challenges start taking over an elderly adult's life, they typically require more assistance. If you've found yourself in this situation and need to set up elder care for a parent or relative living in South Shore, know that we're ready to help.

At Visiting Angels® South Shore, we aim to make it as easy as possible for long-distance families to arrange care that they can trust. The personalized approach of our caregiving process can help ensure your loved one is given the care they require and that you are able to maintain peace of mind. You can trust our caregivers to go above and beyond to keep your loved one safe and comfortable and to treat them with kindness and warmth.

Our Approach to Elder Care

We understand the unique challenges of long-distance caregiving, and we've built our approach to overcome any obstacles that may prevent families from setting up the care they need.

Here are some of the ways Visiting Angels South Shore makes it easy to set up long-distance care:

• We offer long-distance consultations. We can coordinate an in-depth consultation at a distance so that all of your family members can be involved. Whether you choose to take part over the phone, through email, or using a video application, you'll be able to have all of your questions answered.
• We offer customized care planning and scheduling. A care coordinator will help draft a comprehensive plan of care and schedule of care visits for your loved one while communicating with you to gather your input.
• We have an ongoing process for communication. After the implementation of your loved one's care plan, you'll receive regular updates and notes about their situation.
• We offer additional monitoring. If you would feel better knowing someone is checking in on your loved one between care visits, we can arrange for this through drop-in visits or check-in calls. Furthermore, you can always reach us using our after-hours phone line if there's an emergency.
