How Elder Care in Tucson Can Help Your Family Find Peace of Mind

Even though it's more common than ever, living far from loved ones is never easy. But for seniors who find themselves struggling with tasks they once completed with ease, it can be especially difficult. If you're living long-distance from a loved one who needs help to continue aging at home safely, elder care from Visiting Angels® Tucson can help.

Elder care from Visiting Angels Tucson gives seniors the compassionate, professional, individualized attention they need to live at home and enjoy their independent lifestyles. It also provides families with peace of mind about their loved one's safety and well-being, even from a distance.

How Elder Care in Tucson Helps Seniors 

When you live hours away from a senior parent or loved one, it's hard not to worry. What if they're too tired to cook a healthy meal, or they forget to take their medication? How will they get to their doctor's appointments now that they are no longer able to drive?

Elder care from Visiting Angels Tucson is the answer. Our caregivers can assist your loved one at home in a variety of ways, including: 

• Light housekeeping duties, such as vacuuming, organizing, and changing bed linens
• Preparing meals or assisting your loved one in the kitchen with chopping, measuring, and operating the stove
• Providing transportation and escorting them to appointments
• A steadying hand on walks and during favorite activities
• Reminders to take medication on time, drink fluids, and eat regularly
• Assisting your loved one with FaceTime, Skype, or text to keep in touch with you
• Joyful companionship and a listening ear
• Dignified assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting

No matter which services your loved one needs, Visiting Angels Tucson provides ongoing care. We oversee our caregivers and check in with them regularly. We contact clients via phone calls, we conduct home visits to see how they're doing and keep their families informed. 

Our Personalized Approach to In-Home Elder Care

When it comes to in-home assistance, a one-size-fits-all approach does not work. Each of our clients has their own set of needs. Our team at Visiting Angels Tucson is happy to accommodate our clients' needs. We offer care plans that are carefully designed and tailored to the specific needs of your loved one.

During our comprehensive assessment, one of our Case Managers carefully gathers detailed information regarding your loved one's needs. This includes the types of assistance they require, their daily routine, and how often they may need care. All of this information goes into the creation of their personalized care plan. We will also create a schedule of visits that meets your loved one's needs.

Our personalized home care plans are also easily changed. As your loved one’s needs change, we will update their care plan so that we can continue to provide the care they require. Limited mobility, changes in health, and illnesses will increase your loved one's need for assistance. We can make the necessary changes to their care plan at any time. Our caregivers are constantly monitoring your loved one for any changes in their health or well-being that might indicate a change of care. We are committed to working with you, your loved one, and their doctor to ensure their needs are met.

About Our Dedicated Team of Caregivers

Our caregiving team at Visiting Angels Tucson consists of local experienced caregivers who are passionate about senior care. We carefully select each caregiver on our team to meet out high standards and ensure our clients are receiving exceptional care.

We have a rigorous hiring process in place to help us select caregivers who are trustworthy, capable, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Each of our caregivers goes through interviews, reference checks, drug screens, a criminal background investigation, and our orientation program. We want you to feel comfortable working with our team and trusting us with your loved one's care.

When pairing our clients with caregivers, we make each match based on compatibility. Your loved one's needs, schedule, and personality traits will factor into pairing the right caregiver for your loved one. Our Select Your Caregiver® program allows your loved one to meet their caregiver before home care services begin. If your loved one is unsatisfied with their caregiver, we will make a new match.
