What Families Look for in Senior Home Care

It can be incredibly heart wrenching to watch a loved one encounter age-related issues that make day-to-day living a challenge. Being unable to find a reliable home care service to assist with their needs only adds to this feeling of despair.

That’s why access to home care is so important for families throughout the country. Here are the specific qualities families often seek out as they compare different home care agencies in their area.

Affordbility

While families only want the very best for their loved ones, they’re typically limited to the home care options they can actually afford. By making affordability a priority, you’re making it possible for more families in your community to take advantage of your services.

One of the best ways to remain affordable is to focus on customization. Our home care franchises design personalized care plans for each and every client. This ensures they only receive the specific services they need, precisely when they need them most.

Reliability

Families need to know their loved ones are in safe hands at all times. To help clients maintain total peace of mind about our services, all our home care franchises are bonded, licensed, and insured.

In addition, we encourage franchisees to match seniors with caregivers whose personalities and scheduling availability are totally compatible, ensuring they’ll always be a reliable partner in care.

Range of Services

It’s not uncommon for seniors’ needs to change drastically over time. In order to be there throughout the ups and downs of aging, it’s important for home care agencies to offer a comprehensive range of senior care services.
Visiting Angels franchises offer a collection of specialized senior care programs called Senior Life Care Navigation™. This collection includes programs dedicated to Alzheimer’s disease, fall prevention, personal care, and other challenges elderly adults often face as they age.
