Visiting Angels in New Port Richey, Florida is an in-home senior care referral service that connects seniors with independent professional caregivers to help them remain independent at home. The service is locally owned and operated and serves New Port Richey, Port Richey, Hudson, Bayonet Point, Land O'Lakes, and surrounding communities in Pasco County.
Visiting Angels offers referral services for all levels of in-home assistance, from respite care a few hours per week to full-time or overnight care. Caregivers are available 24/7/365 to assist with a range of tasks including personal care, grooming, meal preparation, and other daily living activities. The service employs a network of pre-screened and thoroughly vetted professional caregivers, including Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) and Home Health Aides (HHAs) who have been background checked at local, state, and national levels and verified through the Florida Board of Nursing.
The referral process begins with a free in-home consultation with a Referral Specialist who assesses the senior's care needs. Clients then review a group of qualified caregivers and have the final say in selecting their caregiver. Seniors maintain control over their care schedule, deciding when services are provided, what time to wake up, when to bathe, meal schedules, and all other aspects of their routine. Once a caregiver is selected, the senior and caregiver work together to develop a customized care plan.
Visiting Angels emphasizes that clients determine the duration of care, whether short-term or long-term, and can request additional caregiver referrals at any time. The service aims to customize care to each individual's preferences and needs without requiring changes to existing routines or demands.
