Your Free In-Home Consultation from Visiting Angels

Since every senior's circumstances and care needs are unique, we need to better understand your loved one's daily requirements, preferences, and schedule before we can put together a plan of care and assign a home care aide to help them age in place. Because of this, we begin each of our services with a thorough care consultation in your loved one's home.

Our care coordinators from Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach will work with you and your loved one to get an idea of your current circumstances and how our services will benefit your loved one. We'll also give you the time to ask questions you have about Visiting Angels, including the services we offer, qualifications our home care aides have, and more. By giving you a better understanding of what we do at Visiting Angels, we hope to ease any concerns you have and assure you that your loved one will be in good hands when you count on our senior care services.

When we meet with you and your loved one, some of the subjects we may touch on include:

• How often and when your loved one needs assistance
• The routines of your loved one
• Worries about cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's or dementia
• Your loved one is suffering from an ongoing illness
• Challenges brought on by physical difficulties such as mobility limitations or frailty
• Demands related to meal preparation and cleaning
• Nutritional limitations
• The hobbies and preferred pastimes of your loved one
• Concerns about logistics, such as how home care aides will get into your loved one's house
• How to plan, cancel, and book support

If you decide that Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach is the right solution for your loved one, we will introduce you to a selection of our home care aides. Although we will ensure that the caregivers we select can provide the care your loved one needs according to their schedule, your loved one will make the ultimate decision on which Angel they wish to receive care from. This helps our team form strong, long-lasting bonds with our clients and is essential to our approach to in-home senior care.

Once we've put together a care plan and your loved one has selected a home care aide, we can begin providing care.

Need to Modify Your Loved One's Care Plan? Let Us Know!

Your loved one's care needs will most likely change over time, so having a flexible care plan will allow them to get the support they need for as long as they need it. If your loved one's care plan ever needs to be adjusted, reach out to the team at Visiting Angels of Virginia Beach. Our care coordinators will work with you to make any necessary changes. For example, if you're starting out with respite care but realize that your loved one would benefit more from full-time care, we can adjust the schedule and duration of home care aide visits to ensure your loved one receives the level of support they need.

We can even connect your loved one with a specially qualified caregiver if they need a different approach to the care they're receiving, like if they need to recover at home after being discharged from the hospital or need a caregiver to help them out at night. If you feel uncomfortable with the caregiver for your loved one, let us know and we can designate a different home care aide if this occurs.
