In Home Care in Richland

Where To Start

When a family member needs in home care services, it can be difficult to know where to start. How often do you need to set up care? What type of care is suitable? For families in Richland, Visiting Angels^® in the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla can alleviate the pressure involved in making these decisions. 

Let's take a look at a few big questions to ask before you set up any care services. 

4 Questions To Ask Before You Choose Care Options 

When you need to set up care services, we always recommend getting in touch with our agency. We can set up a consultation, assess how your loved one's doing, and personalize care options accordingly. 

You may want to check in with your family member first, to see how they're doing and what they're struggling with. Here are a few questions to be thinking about: 

• Can they drive? For many seniors, driving is no longer an option for various reasons. In these cases, they may need help with groceries, errands, getting to doctors' appointments, and going to social events. Our companion care services are well-suited to seniors who are active but can't drive. 
• What level of mobility do they have? It's worthwhile to visit your loved one in their home and to see if they're struggling. Are they having difficulty with the stairs? Do they need assistance with getting out of bed, bathing, or moving around? For more advanced mobility concerns, personal care can make a big difference right away. 
• How often do they need in home care? For families in Richland, home care visits can be scheduled as often or infrequently as needed. If your family member is struggling with tasks like bathing, they may need services every day. For more active seniors who only need light assistance, less frequent visits may be preferred. 
• Do they have any serious health concerns? If your loved one has recently experienced an injury, gone through surgery, or been diagnosed with dementia, these are health concerns which may require a more specialized level of care. In addition to personal and companion care, we offer other care options for these situations.
