Visiting Angels

Visiting Angels provides a wide range of senior care services right in the comfort of home, and they offer help like companion care, personal care, and even specialized services for Alzheimer's and dementia, so older adults can stay safe and comfortable where they feel best without needing to move somewhere unfamiliar, which makes a big difference for a lot of people who want to keep their independence as long as possible. Caregivers, called Angel Companions, are trained, background-checked, licensed, and insured, and they're committed to providing reliable, compassionate support whether someone's needing a little help with bathing and dressing, help with cooking, light housekeeping, reminders to take medicine, or just someone to talk to and keep them company, and families often feel a sense of peace knowing someone's there to check on their loved ones regularly, since Visiting Angels also does phone check-ins and home visits to make sure the care stays on track. The Olera Care Planner tool can help families figure out which kinds of care might be the best fit-whether it's non-medical services or home health care-since Visiting Angels offers both, sometimes coordinating with other agencies to cover everything a senior needs. There's flexibility for part-time, full-time, or even 24-hour care depending on each situation, and care plans get tailored to what the individual wants and needs, right down to the schedule, so the client gets to decide when help is needed. Families in Oakland and Alameda can expect everything from meal planning and help with errands, to fall prevention, end-of-life care, transitional care with the Ready Set Go Home program, help with personal hygiene, and even palliative and respite care if that's needed for a break. Prices vary, generally ranging from $18 up to $59 per hour, and people can choose their Angel Companions based on who matches best. Visiting Angels has served many clients as part of a franchise network called Living Assistance Services Inc., and they keep a reputation for being attentive, safe, and thorough, which the community ratings usually reflect, with a rating of 4.3 based on different factors. Everything is built around making sure seniors can stay as independent and happy as possible, living life at home where they feel most at ease.
