Visiting Angels Fort Lee is an in-home senior care agency serving Fort Lee, Cliffside Park, Leonia, and surrounding areas in New Jersey. Since 2015, the locally owned, family-operated agency has been providing personalized, non-medical care that allows seniors to age in place safely within their own homes as an alternative to assisted living facilities.
The agency offers a broad range of services including personal care and companion care, memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, assistance with bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility, medication reminders, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and transportation to medical appointments. Overnight care, weekend availability, and 24-hour support are available. Specialized services include fall prevention, post-hospital transition care, and hospice support for seniors navigating end-of-life care with dignity.
Care begins with an in-home consultation to understand each client's unique needs and preferences. A care coordinator manages services and provides regular family updates. Visiting Angels emphasizes supporting independence and involving seniors in decisions about their daily routines, treating care as personal rather than transactional. All caregivers are CPR certified, first aid trained, and receive specialized training in elderly care and geriatric best practices.
The agency is accredited by the CAC and takes a careful approach to hiring, conducting reference checks, background checks, and extensive screening before matching caregivers with clients. Caregivers receive ongoing training and supervision from the nurse and office team to ensure the highest quality support.
Visiting Angels offers flexible scheduling that adapts as needs change over time, with services ranging from a few hours per week to around-the-clock supervision. The agency accepts various payment options including long-term care insurance, veterans benefits, and other insurance coverage, positioning in-home care as an often more affordable option than traditional facilities.
