At Visiting Angels, care means more than showing up for a shift. It means making sure our clients feel supported and never forgotten.

Yesterday, Mr. Johnston had to rearrange his schedule. Since his caregiver usually prepares his supper, our office manager, Samantha, took time out of her evening to personally deliver his dinner!

Care doesn’t stop when the schedule changes. We’re grateful to serve our veterans and to have team members who go above and beyond.

Caring for an aging loved one is an important responsibility, but it can also be overwhelming. Managing their needs while focusing on other family and work obligations can potentially lead to caregiver burnout.

🔹 Irritability or anger
🔹 Persistent headaches
🔹 No longer finding joy in caregiving or other activities
🔹 Hyperfocus on caregiving responsibilities

Reduce the Risk of Caregiver Burnout:

Why is Fall Prevention Important for Seniors?🤔

Falls are the leading cause of serious injuries among seniors — often resulting in hospitalizations, long-term complications, or loss of independence.

Seniors are more vulnerable to falls due to risk factors such as:

🔹Cognitive disorders
🔹Decreased strength
🔹Hearing loss
🔹Limited mobility
🔹Poor coordination
🔹Reduced eyesight
🔹Stiff or painful joints
🔹Taking multiple medications

Visiting Angels can play a pivotal role in reducing the risk of falls for your aging loved one at home.

💙Do Something Nice Day💙

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. 😇

Make some time for your senior loved ones and plan a visit.

🔹Be Realistic and Intentional with Plans - grab a bite to eat, do a puzzle, or watch their favorite show!
🔹Choose Connection over Tasks - ditch the to-do list!
🔹Adjust for Communication Needs - reduce noise and overstimulation!

It's important to include seniors in activities, but in a way that doesn't overwhelm them.
