How To Start Home Care For a Loved One
Support your aging loved one’s dignity, happiness, and safety at home with Visiting Angels. We make it easy to get started with home care, giving you guidance and reassurance every step of the way.
Easy, Personalized Home Care Onboarding
Your first step to starting professional home care services with Visiting Angels is a free, in-person consultation with a care coordinator (also known as a “care manager”). The meeting is an excellent opportunity for you and your family to ask questions and receive personalized guidance. The consultation also helps your care coordinator become acquainted with you and your loved one.
During the visit, your coordinator will review the required care, schedule, specific requests, and any other information.
The following home care aspects are commonly discussed:
- Physical needs
A determination of specific care assistance will be made by your coordinator and you. Personal care requests may include bathing and grooming, dressing, meals and diet, mobility, incontinence, etc. - Emotional needs
Your loved one can receive elderly companion care that includes social interaction, activities, hobbies, conversation, appointments, and camaraderie. - Homemaking assistance
If your loved one is unable to tend to housework or needs a little assistance, we’ll develop a program that includes meal preparation, groceries, linens, laundry, and light housekeeping. - Schedules
We’ll tailor a specialized program that works with your loved one’s daily activities, including sleep, eating, and medication reminders. - Logistics
We’ll cover everything you need to know about the home care process, such as access to the home, documentation, communication with your caregiver(s), and how to contact your local office.
Customized Care Planning
After the initial consultation, we'll create a schedule, finalize a care plan, and match your loved one with a caregiver who best fits their needs.
