Caregivers for the elderly: Senior Home Care | Visiting Angels
Home Care for Seniors | Visiting Angels
Celebrating 25 Years as America’s Choice in Senior Home Care®
Home care makes aging in place possible for millions of seniors every year. Instead of moving to an assisted living facility or a nursing home, seniors can continue living where they feel happiest and most comfortable — their home.
No one understands the importance of senior care like Visiting Angels®. As one of the country’s most trusted home care agencies, Visiting Angels has made senior care possible for older adults across the nation since 1998. Professional in-home care services for the elderly can make daily living safer and more enjoyable, allowing your senior to spend their golden years in the comforts of home.
Visiting Angels’ dedicated elder care offers valuable support to help families spend more quality time together. At the same time, Visiting Angels provides much-needed respite for family caregivers, reducing their risk of caregiver burnout.
Learn how Visiting Angels has been providing the best care at home for seniors during the past 25 years.
Home Care for Seniors
Choosing the right type of home care will ensure your loved one’s safety and comfort and improve their quality of life. But if you’re unfamiliar with the different types of home care, deciding between services can be confusing.
The good news? Selecting the right home care service is simpler than you might expect. Here are some options to consider:
Companion Care
For most seniors, companion care provides the support they need for a wide range of basic caregiving tasks, including light housekeeping, help with errands, and meal preparation. This makes it a perfect choice for your loved one who needs help to live at home safely but does not require advanced assistance.
Personal Care
If your loved one has advanced needs, then personal care could be the right choice. Personal care includes the primary duties of companion care, but it also helps with tasks such as grooming, dressing, bathing, and mobility.
Personal care can also assist individuals with chronic conditions, such as diabetes, COPD, or Parkinson’s.
Respite Care
If you are the primary caregiver for an aging or disabled family member and need a break at times, respite care could be a welcomed option. Respite care can help you pursue other activities, attend to urgent obligations, and spend more time with family. Most importantly, it gives you the time you can focus on self-care, reducing the risk of caregiver burnout.
Specialized Home Care
Visiting Angels offers specialized home care services through its Life Care Navigation program. Specialized services can be combined with traditional home care to develop a tailored plan.
Senior Care That Is Personalized
Visiting Angels has a primary goal and mission to make senior care comfortable and enjoyable for individuals who want to age in place through home care services that are easy and stress-free for families.
Visiting Angels’ approach to senior care starts with a custom care plan.
Your local Visiting Angels home care agency will personalize a comprehensive plan to your loved one’s unique needs and living conditions.
A care coordinator will work closely with you and your family each step of the way. Once care starts, the coordinator will remain in close contact to update you on progress. As needs and requests evolve, Visiting Angels will ensure your loved one continues receiving the care they need and deserve.
Home Care Assistance
Visiting Angels makes it easy to get started with senior care services.
Your local Visiting Angels agency will schedule a free consultation to learn about your loved one’s needs, living conditions, and personal preferences. The information helps build a framework for a complete care plan.
Visiting Angels will consider a wide range of factors in developing the care plan that includes personal routines, a flexible schedule, and affordable home care costs. Visiting Angels will also work with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers to ensure the care plan aligns with medical directives.
The final step is to match your loved one with a caregiver (or caregivers). Visiting Angels takes pride in the compassion, dedication, and experience of its home care providers and will strive to find the perfect fit for your loved one.

“Care” at home
Nurse for an elderly person: advantages and disadvantages
Home | Useful articles | How to choose a nurse?
Elderly relatives may need constant help with household chores.
Restrictions in movement, decreased memory and intelligence develop due to strokes, Alzheimer’s disease and other reasons.
24-hour supervision, medical and domestic assistance is almost impossible to provide by the family. Many are limited by work schedule, duties to other people.
In such situations, the help of a nurse is often used. You can find home staff of this profile through the recommendations of friends or through ads on the Internet.
A nurse usually lives permanently with an elderly patient, follows the recommendations of doctors, prepares food, cleans the room, etc. If you manage to find a person with a medical education, calm character, responsible and attentive, then care for an elderly relative will be at a good level. Professional services are quite expensive.
The disadvantages of interaction with caregivers include:
- legal difficulties in drawing up an agreement, determining responsibility;
- permanent presence of a stranger in the house;
- risk of fraud, theft;
- Fuzzy compliance with standards in cooking, cleaning, performing medical procedures.
In addition, a caregiver will never be able to provide an elderly person with the necessary communication on an equal footing. Forced isolation provokes a deterioration in well-being and depression. Therefore, the choice in favor of a nurse should be made only when living in a specialized boarding house for the elderly is impossible for any reason.
