We know that many seniors can find a caregiver visiting their home a nervous occasion. That's why we put you in control of your caregiver selection process. We will help you identify your loved one's needs and match them with a group of compassionate in-home care providers on our Registry serving USF, which you can then speak with before selecting your preferred caregiver. We know that no matter how much family members love and care for their elderly relatives, sometimes work demands and schedules prevent them from being able to give their full attention. That's why our caregivers pride themselves on showing compassion and friendliness. The safety of seniors is a high priority for us; each referred caregiver as well as our office staff member's background is thoroughly checked by state officials, the FBI and local agencies. We are licensed, bonded and insured with the appropriate insurance.

USF Respite Care

Caring for a loved one is one of the most generous things a friend or family member can do. It requires dedication, patience and a generous amount of time to carry out care properly. We know it's tough though and sometimes, you need a break. We can help you if you need to focus on other things or simply need a rest. We can refer your loved one a trained caregiver who can visit your loved one's home for just a few hours a day, or several days a week. Whatever your needs are, it can be beneficial to have someone remove the workload and help with certain tasks. By simply stepping away for a few hours, you can remove the pressure and anxiety from yourself. Whether your loved one needs some company during the day or more extensive home-care tasks, a Visiting Angel referred caregiver can help.

Alzheimer’s Care in USF

Alzheimer's sadly can be one of the most devastating and heartbreaking diseases a loved can suffer with. The fatal brain disease causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. It is estimated that around 5.1 million American may have it. We know how much it can hurt to put a suffering Alzheimer's relative in a care home. An appropriate caregiver is exceptionally important for anyone who has Alzheimer’s and that's why we offer our caregiver matching program to help find the caregiver who can provide comfort and bring as full a life as possible.

Reducing Hospital Readmissions

Reducing hospital readmissions is crucial to a full recovery. Roughly 20% of discharged USF patients return to the hospital within 30 days, after being sent home.

We pride ourselves on never overlooking any aspects that can make this journey hard. At Visiting Angels, we offer a comforting presence to relieve feelings of loneliness, fear, and anxiety.

Fall Prevention

Falls are the most common cause of seniors losing their independence. As we all naturally lose our balance and reaction speed with age, the risk of a fall becomes a serious concern. A simple trip can cause lasting emotional and physical impacts. Arthritis, poor eyesight, multiple medications, dehydration, and lack of grab bars can all be causes of a fall, which could easily be prevented. Our USF Visiting Angels referred caregivers can provide a helping hand and companion for seniors, while they're walking, moving from cars or moving around the house.

They will provide you with detailed updates on the wellbeing of their senior client and address any concerns you have. We strive to make sure communication is clear and we won't leave you in the dark or delayed with any news.
