Question:
|
What is the cost of your services? |
|
Answer:
|
In our
service areas our rates are
the most affordable. Hourly rates vary based on the level of service
provided and caregiver qualifications that meet your specific needs.
We believe that 'flat rates' do not work for everyone.
Some of our clients simply need a little help on occasion, while others
require full time companionship while convalescing.
Please call us first! We will
determine the best rate for your particular needs. We also offer a
free in-home consultation to discuss our
services and rates.

Question:
|
Wouldn’t it be better to find a caregiver
on my own? |
|
Answer:
|
We offer our caregivers long-term, stable employment without the hassles
of constantly seeking work opportunities. We offer you the benefits of screened and qualified caregivers
backed by our agency. Additionally, Visiting Angels handles any
unexpected caregiver problems that may arise. You never have to deal
with the burden of finding substitutes or scheduling conflicts. Importantly;
Visiting Angels takes care of each caregiver's payroll taxes, tax reports, background checks,
retirement plan opportunities, worker’s compensation insurance, etc. These
details can be overwhelming if you are considering finding and hiring a
caregiver on you own.

Question:
|
What if we’re not happy with a caregiver?
|
|
Answer:
|
Just call us. We will provide a new caregiver. Agencies can charge a fee
for such changes. . . We do not. We monitor our caregiver/client relationships.
In most cases we would detect potential conflicts and resolve them
before your call. |

Question:
|
Do you provide other services such as outdoor
maintenance? |
|
Answer:
|
We can provide just about any non-medical service. If we do not directly
provide a service you desire, we’ll help you to find someone who does.

Who selects the caregiver for my parent?
|
|
Answer:
|
You do. We initially visit you at home to determine your needs. On our return
visit you interview and select a caregiver. Once the caregiver is placed
in your home, we stay in close contact. We then continually monitor relationships
by making weekly telephone contact and periodic home visits as needed.
