How We Personalize Our Home Care in Whitneyville

What kind of support would make your loved one's life easier from day to day? What would make your family feel more comfortable about them living at home?

We'll seek to answer these questions in order to create your own unique care plan. To get started, our care team will guide you through the following process:

• Informational call - First, make contact by calling Visiting Angels Woodbridge at (203) 298-9700. We can talk about your loved one's general needs, go over our home care services, and discuss approximate costs.
• More in-depth consultation - The next step is to meet with your loved one to find out who they are, how they live, and what they need to thrive at home. You and other family members can also bring up your own needs or concerns during this no-cost assessment.
• Care plan development - We'll use what we've learned about your loved one, your family, and the care situation as a whole to propose a personalized care plan and schedule. Once care begins, we can revisit and adapt this plan at any time if needed.
• Caregiver recommendation - Our caregivers are all kind, committed professionals. We'll recommend a care professional whose experience, temperament, and availability align with what you need.  
  All of our care plans are flexible, as are our care schedules. We can be there for your family at any time, day or night. This includes holidays, overnight, and on weekends.

• Running errands and going grocery shopping
• Bathing and using the bathroom 
• Getting dressed and ready for the day
• Walking safely and comfortably
• Transferring locations

Respite Care in Whitneyville

Home care should include the whole family. That's why we provide respite care specifically for family caregivers, who face high risk of burnout and self-neglect. If you feel rundown already, or want to take action before you reach that point, our caregivers can cover for you on a temporary basis.

Companion Care and Social Care

Many seniors in Whitneyville struggle with social isolation and loneliness. If you can't visit your loved one as frequently as you'd like, our caregivers can act as a consistent, engaging presence. They can accompany your relative to interesting events and provide the comfort of friendly conversation. Additionally, we offer social care to help seniors use technology to stay connected.

Safe & Steady Fall Prevention Program 

Falls lead to more serious injuries among seniors than any other cause. Our home care includes fall prevention recommendations to help local seniors reduce their risk. Through this program, we can establish your loved one's personal risk, suggest simple improvements to their home, and arrange walking and transferring support. 

Ready-Set-Go Home Program

Did you know that the first month home from the hospital poses the highest risk for hospital readmission among seniors? Often, this is due to a lack of vital follow-up care.

If your loved one has been or will be hospitalized, we can help reduce this risk by assisting your family at the hospital and making sure the discharge instructions are clear. We can then help your loved one recover at home, ensuring they take their medication as scheduled and attend any appointments.
