If your aging loved one needs home care, you may wonder if your family can afford it. Luckily, there are various payment options, but financial situations vary.
When a loved one is approaching the ending stages of life and enters hospice, it's crucial to focus on cherishing your final moments together without any distractions.
Your first step to starting professional home care services with Visiting Angels is a free, in-person consultation with a care coordinator (also known as a “care manager”). The meeting is an excellent opportunity for you and your family to ask questions and receive personalized guidance. The consultation also helps your care coordinator become acquainted with you and your loved one.
During the visit, your coordinator will review the required care, schedule, specific requests, and any other information. They'll also assess the home environment to ensure safety and discuss how to best match you with caregivers who fit your personality and care preferences.
The following home care aspects are commonly discussed:
Physical Needs
A determination of specific care assistance will be made by your coordinator and you. Personal care requests may include bathing and grooming, dressing, meals and diet, mobility, incontinence, etc.
Emotional Needs
Your loved one can receive elderly companion care that includes social interaction, activities, hobbies, conversation, appointments, and camaraderie.
Homemaking Assistance
If your loved one is unable to tend to housework or needs a little assistance, we'll develop a program that includes meal preparation, groceries, linens, laundry, and light housekeeping.
Schedules
We'll tailor a specialized program that works with your loved one's daily activities, including sleep, eating, and medication reminders.
Logistics
We'll cover everything you need to know about the home care process, such as access to the home, documentation, communication with your caregiver(s), and how to contact your local office.
