Visiting Angels Venice is a home care referral service operating in Venice, Florida, connecting seniors with in-home caregivers to help them age in place rather than moving to a facility. The service operates throughout southern Sarasota County and northwest Charlotte County, serving communities including Rotonda West, Venice Gardens, Osprey, and Plantation.
The caregivers referred through Visiting Angels provide personal care assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, grooming, and toileting. They also offer medication reminders, hygiene care, meal planning and preparation tailored to dietary needs, and assistance with errands and transportation to appointments or local activities.
Visiting Angels offers specialized referrals for seniors with specific health needs, including memory care at home for those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, transitional care following hospitalization or surgery, fall prevention assistance, care for seniors with Parkinson's disease, and respite care to support family caregivers. The service emphasizes combating loneliness and isolation through caregiver companionship, conversation, and social activities.
Each client receives a customized care plan developed during an initial in-home consultation with a service coordinator who assesses the senior's specific needs. Care plans can be adjusted as circumstances change. Visiting Angels also provides information about local support groups in the Venice area for caregivers and seniors dealing with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and general caregiver challenges.
