If you've never needed caregivers for your loved one, you may not know the specifics of what home care can offer. Visiting Angels can help. Your family member's personal caregiver will be responsible for all of the following Activities of Daily Living. You can utilize as few or as many services as needed. The only limiting factor is the number of hours of service you select each week. |

Hygiene Assistance is one of our cornerstone in-home care services. Elderly individuals often require assistance, but are embarrassed to request it of family members. Your parent or spouse can have access to improved hygiene, and improved health, without losing privacy or dignity. Hygiene Assistance may include: |
Meal Preparation is important to good health. Frequently seniors who attempt to live independently have difficulty maintaining a healthy diet, which can lead to a variety of other issues. While our caregivers won't persuade with undue influence, simply having the capability to obtain and prepare balanced meals will allow your loved one to make better dietary decisions. |
Light Housekeeping is often one of the primary responsibilities of caregivers. Maintaining a healthy environment can be as important as maintaining a healthy body. The physical body, mental and emotional health are all influenced by our surroundings. Caregivers may be asked to do any of the following: |

Joyful Companionship is often the simplest, yet most valuable service caregivers provide. Your loved one will have a regular companion focused on their interests. Some examples include: |

Hospital Bedside Sitting services can also be provided by your caregivers. Your loved one doesn't stop being a client just because they experience illness. If your parent or spouse requires facility based medical care, your caregivers can continue serving at your pleasure. The caregiver can be a familiar personal assistant while your loved one recovers, and will be a blessing when they are needed most. All of our in-home services are also available while in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, or even skilled nursing facilities. |

the most able and dedicated family caregivers need a break occasionally.
Sometimes those breaks are simply needed to allow busy people options
regarding life activities. Other times, the emotional and physical
strain of daily life prevents the caregivers from providing the
best quality of care. If your life is too busy, or even if you are
just becoming exhausted, Respite Care Services
are designed around your needs.

needs exactly. We've cared for respite clients from three days to
three weeks.
