Services include assistance with hygiene tasks, bathing and grooming, oral hygiene, light housekeeping, medication reminders, help with transfers, and transportation to medical appointments, pharmacies, and grocery stores.
Visiting Angels provides specialized dementia care with trained caregivers who offer daily reminders for medications and hydration, support with activities of daily living, and cognitive activities like board games and companionship. The agency also serves veterans living with service-related disabilities or chronic illnesses, helping clients navigate VA Aid and Attendance or Community Care Network programs. Care for individuals with disabilities includes assistance for those with vision impairments, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.
All caregivers are background-checked, bonded, and undergo drug screens and driving record checks. The agency maintains a team-based approach to care, with quality assurance checks and 24-hour phone support available. If a scheduled caregiver becomes unavailable due to illness or emergency, backup care is provided immediately by another professional caregiver.
Prospective clients begin with a free assessment conducted by a Care Coordinator to understand their needs and preferences, followed by the creation of a customized care plan.
