Visiting Angels® Southwest Michigan provides flexible home care services for Oshtemo area residents. It is our goal to help our local seniors “age in place” in their own homes rather than having to be moved to a facility.

Located just west of Kalamazoo, Oshtemo is an “urban-suburban” charter township located in southwest Michigan. With low crime, quality public schools, community parks, historic buildings, and a predominantly residential community with a strong commercial downtown area, Oshtemo is considered one of the best places to live in Michigan.

The historic Oshtemo Community Center, originally a fire station, is a popular venue for everything from baby showers and birthday parties to wedding receptions and other special events. It is also used as a gathering place for seniors to meet and participate in various activities that are hosted by residents and co-sponsored by Oshtemo Friends of the Parks.

How We Care For Seniors in Oshtemo

We are proud to offer the customizable care services many seniors need to live safely in their own homes and enjoy a higher quality of life.

Our compassionate caregivers can assist with medication reminders, fall prevention, light housework, bathing and grooming assistance, and much more while providing warm, loving companionship and friendship to those under our care.

All of our caregivers are carefully vetted with background and reference checks, and each person must live up to our specific criteria for the role, which includes compassion, patience, and the ability to provide a high level of care to our clients.

 

"I appreciate so much the help and care that Visiting Angels of Kalamazoo has given my sister. They truly care about their patients. I am most impressed with how well they listen and try to find the best solutions to difficult situations."

It is our belief that remaining at home provides seniors with the privacy and independence they crave as well the comfort that familiarity brings, something that is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from memory-related problems such as Alzheimer's Disease or dementia.

We know there is no one-size-fits-all formula and that each day can look different for someone living with Alzheimer’s or dementia; that’s why our Alzheimer’s and dementia care services are adaptable and can be changed as often as needed. These services are offered as a part of our Life Care Navigation™ program, which also includes personal care, companion care, palliative care, social care, and more.

Respite care is another way that we can help. We know that family caregivers can suffer from intense stress and guilt, which can lead to caregiver burnout. Our respite care plan provides a flexible way to relieve family members, giving them a chance to rest, guilt-free.

Another service we offer is the Visiting Angels’ Safe and Steady® fall prevention program. This program can help reduce your elderly loved one’s risk of slips, trips, and falls at home, which will decrease the chance of serious injuries that could result in hospitalization, loss of independence, permanent disability, or even death.

Last, but certainly not least, our professional, non-medical end-of-life care can help provide the support needed during the final stages of life so that families can spend meaningful time with their loved one without having to worry about housekeeping tasks, laundry, shopping, or running errands.

At Visiting Angels, it is our goal to focus on meeting the physical, mental, and emotional needs of our clients as well as to bring peace of mind to their families when they need it the most.
