When your senior loved one chooses to age in place, it’s essential to take proactive steps to keep them safe, comfortable, healthy, and happy. For many families, hiring professional in-home care services is the best solution. But how much care does your loved one need?
Visiting Angels Newton/Canton provides in-home care services with flexible schedules depending on the level of need. We offer customized hours to suit the needs of seniors and their families. Professional caregivers fill in gaps — providing care only when a senior needs it, so families don’t have to pay unnecessary home care costs. Clients and families can add, remove, or adjust hours as needed.
Popular Home Care Options
RESPITE CARE
Respite care is typically provided hourly to give family members a break from caregiving duties. It can cover evenings, weekends, holidays, and regular business hours. Respite care can be customized to unique circumstances, providing short-term, temporary care as needed, which can come in handy during a family vacation or other personal obligations and responsibilities.
HOURLY CARE
Visiting Angels Newton/Canton’s caregivers can provide support on a routine, hourly basis, enabling seniors and families to customize the length and frequency of visits. For example, your loved one may need help in the morning, assistance with their evening meals, or a bedtime routine a few days a week. Maybe they need two full days of care per week or during the weekend. Whatever their needs, an hourly plan offers flexibility.
FULL-TIME CARE
A full-time home care option is available for seniors who need 9-to-5 assistance on weekdays. This 40-hour-a-week service is ideal for multigenerational households that need senior care during the day when family members are at work or school.
24/7 CARE
Visiting Angels Newton/Canton’s caregivers provide around-the-clock support for seniors, offering a reliable alternative to nursing home care. 24/7 care is also ideal when families live far away or cannot provide consistent in-person caregiving support. Seniors receive one-on-one attention from several caregivers who work 8- or 12-hour shifts. This schedule ensures a senior’s routine is not disrupted.
OVERNIGHT CARE
Many older adults benefit from having a trusted caregiver with them overnight — particularly if they are living with dementia, insomnia, or experiencing anxiety or loneliness at night. Caregivers can assist seniors with bedtime habits, offer companionship, and provide a sense of security during the overnight hours.
Home Care Cost Savings
When considering senior care options, it’s important to remember that an in-home personal caregiver may be able to meet your loved one’s care needs for a fraction of the cost of full-time nursing home care. Visiting Angels Newton/Canton’s clients only pay for services when they need them, which provides significant savings compared to 24/7 care in a nursing or assisted-living facility.
If you think in-home personal care might be the right choice for your loved one, schedule a no-cost, no-obligation in-home care assessment. A case manager will visit you at home to learn your unique needs and then design a personalized care plan for you. We provide home care for seniors with dementia, companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, medicine reminders, dressing and grooming assistance, and much more for a loved one living alone.
