Companion Care in Pagosa Springs

At Visiting Angels Southwest Colorado, we consider the social and emotional needs of seniors along with their physical ones. We're proud to provide companion care to support their well-being and bring more joy into their everyday life. 

Many seniors start to feel isolated and alone, especially when they can't get around as freely as before.

Our caregivers can assist with everyday tasks while putting your loved one at ease and helping them re-engage with the activities they enjoy. 

Respite Care in Pagosa Springs

Being able to support your loved one as a family caregiver is the ultimate gift. However, the demands of caregiving are often too much for anyone to cope with on their own. Between your loved one's changing needs and the demands of your own everyday life, you may risk burning out unless you have the right support.

Whether you need time off to deal with a personal emergency, or simply to rest and feel more like yourself, our temporary respite care can help. We’ll connect you with a dedicated caregiver who can take on your caregiving duties for an afternoon, a day, or a week — whatever you need. We can also make respite care a regular part of your loved one's care plan.

Alzheimer's Care and Dementia Care in Pagosa Springs

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting millions of American families. If your loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they may feel lost, confused, or agitated. Your family may also worry about whether they're still safe on their own.

We understand how devastating and disorienting dementia can be for seniors and their families. Our home care services in Pagosa Springs include specialized Alzheimer's care and dementia care to help address memory loss, confusion, and other symptoms.

We can create the calming environment your loved one needs while ensuring they're eating well, taking their medications, attending their appointments, and staying mentally engaged. Our caregivers can also monitor your loved one's condition, prevent wandering, and provide whatever help they need to stay in a familiar setting.

Hospital Discharge Support in Pagosa Springs

For seniors and other individuals who have just gotten home from the hospital, the first few weeks can be challenging.

Through this transitional care program, our caregivers can help your loved one adhere to their discharge instructions and provide the support they need to recover safely and fully at home.

Fall Prevention Support in Pagosa Springs

Falling is one of the biggest health risks for seniors. A fall can cause significant injuries that prevent many seniors from living independently. Unfortunately, many age-related health issues like arthritis and impaired eyesight can increase the risk of a fall.

As part of our Safe and Steady Fall Prevention program, we can address your loved one's fall risk by making recommendations for improving safety in their home and lending a supportive hand when they walk, getting in and out of cars, and generally navigate their homes.
