Personal Care

At Visiting Angels of Springfield, we help clients with essential personal home care services so they can feel and look their best. Numerous studies show how beneficial it is for seniors to have regular grooming and hygiene. For clients whose cognitive and physical locations make bathing difficult, our long-term caregivers in Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Branson, and the surrounding area are there to help. Caregivers can help with shaving, shampooing, hair brushing and styling, along with other grooming needs.

Assistance With Mobility

If your loved one has trouble getting from room to room, using the stairs, or walking with an assistive device like a cane or walker, our caregivers can provide assistance with mobility and ambulation to prevent the likelihood of tripping and falling.

Incontinence Care

Our caregivers understand the sensitive and private nature of incontinence care and toileting for our clients. Without the right help, seniors can encounter issues such as odors, skin infections, and hygiene problems. Our trained caregivers offer dignified, compassionate assistance with these highly personal activities of daily living.

Nutritional Assistance

Maintaining a nutritious, balanced diet can affect a person's overall vitality and well-being, and many seniors in Springfield and surrounding cities have meal plans they must follow for health reasons. Whether a senior needs help to stick to their diet or they need to improve their nutrition, our home care providers can help. With the companionship they provide, our long-term care providers turn mealtime into a social event.

Companionship and Conversation

Studies have proven that seniors who stay engaged and social have a greater quality of life and a lesser tendency to develop cognitive decline or depression. Our home care providers offer friendly conversation, company, and companionship, which is a good way to keep seniors upbeat and engaged.

Laundry and Light Housekeeping Help

At Visiting Angels of Springfield, our essential caregivers can help seniors with their laundry needs, whether it's at home or in a local laundromat. Such services as washing, drying, folding, and putting laundry away. Clients can also receive help with sweeping, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and other light housekeeping tasks.

Errands and Shopping Trips

It can be difficult for seniors to get around, particularly if they've given up their driving privileges. Our caregivers can assist your loved one with completing any essential errands or tasks. We can help with shopping trips and other errands, and loved ones can either stay at home or go along for the ride.

Transportation

Seniors can lose their ability to drive due to age-related issues that impact their hand-eye coordination or vision. That's why we help our clients get to their destination, like medical appointments, social gatherings, and anywhere else they need to go with incidental transportation services.

Medication Reminders

Although our long-term care providers are not permitted to administer medicines, they can help clients take them as prescribed. Caregivers can help with the opening of containers, reading of labels, and offering dosage reminders.

Overnight Monitoring and Assistance

In addition to providing long-term care for seniors in Springfield and surrounding areas during the day, we can also provide assistance and companionship at night. This is helpful for seniors who have trouble sleeping or health issues that make dark surroundings risky.

Affording Long-Term Care in Springfield, MO and Surrounding Areas

Although long-term care can be highly beneficial in many different situations, it can also be expensive. Fortunately, Visiting Angels of Springfield accepts long-term care insurance policies for seniors who need this level of in-home care. It's important for older adults to look into investing in this type of insurance policy as early as possible so they can have an easier time of getting a decent rate. If your loved one has a policy, our team can work with you to determine what it covers and how to submit claims for reimbursement.
