live in the comfort of their own home while receiving professional care. Q : Tell us about Visiting Angels. What does your company offer to the Rochester region? A : Home care enables older adults to age in place in their own homes while professional caregivers help them with daily tasks they need to maintain the independence they desire. A home caregiver delivers services that include: • Medication reminders • Household chores • All care team members are dementia trained Visiting Angels’ personal home care services provide companionship to seniors and assistance at home with daily activities. Unlike “home health care,” you don’t need a doctor’s prescription. Services can be provided for a few hours a day or up to 24/7 care. We can ease a family’s burden and help by: • Consulting with them about scheduling, costs, and care • Scheduling an in-home visit • Errands • Bathing • Dressing • Meal preparation • One-to-one personalized care
• Creating a personalized care plan • Adjusting the care plan or routines as needed through monitoring and ongoing, consistent communication Q: How did it start for Visiting Angels? A: While still at my previous employer, I felt the need to find a different service career where I could witness the positive impact the service has on people’s lives. I spent a lot of time looking into senior home care before finally deciding to open a Visiting Angels office in Rochester. Even today, we still hear people saying that they never realized they could have these types of services in their home. Q: Visiting Angels has been a member of the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce since 2009. What do you find valuable in your membership to the organization? A: I really appreciate the benefit of having the Chamber communicating to members on topics and current affairs that affect our community. The Chamber events have also allowed us the opportunity to have positive interactions with other businesses in the Rochester area.
