What does “aging in place” mean?

Seniors who choose to “age in place” are choosing to remain in their homes, rather than moving into a live-in facility such as assisted living or a retirement residence. Aging in place means that our clients are choosing to age independently, maintaining their lifestyle and their preferences throughout the aging process. Senior care services facilitate aging in place for many seniors, enabling clients to get help with daily tasks while remaining in their own homes.

What services do you provide?

Senior Home Care by Angels is a local agency that provides in-home senior care services to Edmonton and Surrounding Area. We offer comprehensive companion care services, end of life care, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, and respite care. Our typical companion care services include medication reminders, light housekeeping, meal planning and preparation, fall prevention, personal hygiene assistance, and transportation to medical appointments, errands, community events, and more.

Can you work with assisted living facilities, nursing homes and retirement residences?

Yes! Sometimes our clients move to a live-in facility only to realize that the care they receive there may not meet their daily needs. A Senior Home Care by Angels caregiver can be present around-the-clock or just a few hours a day, providing the personal care that may be missing in an institution. This includes assistance with daily tasks and making sure your loved one stays safe and healthy.

Can I trust the person assigned as my caregiver?

We care a lot about the people we serve, as well as the people we hire. When it comes to selecting a caregiver during the interview/selection process, we make sure that there are no reservations from either the client or the caregiver. We always use our best judgement when it comes to the recommendation, but in the end, the decision is ultimately yours -- and we want you to have the utmost confidence in your choice. In addition, all of our staff must have clean criminal record checks, three reputable character & work references, and a background of experience in the care industry. We take your safety very seriously, which is why we are rigorous in our hiring process and our matching process. We will also regularly check-in with you, to make sure you are still satisfied and happy with your chosen caregiver! And if a concern ever arises, we will find you a better match at no cost or hassle. 

How long will it take to get a caregiver?

The health care industry can have many hoops to jump through when you're attempting to get access to services. But we focus on making the process as quick and easy as possible, while still making sure that all your needs are met! When you call us, it's very likely that you could have your complimentary in-home consultation that same day, and begin care the very next day! We'll go at a pace that is comfortable for you. That means whether you need a day, a week or a month to make your choice, we'll always be ready to help you at a moments notice!

Why shouldn't I choose another home care provider with a lower cost?

If another company can fit your needs at a cheaper price, then it might make sense to choose them. But often, low costs can mean low quality, or limitations to the care provided. However, when you choose Senior Home Care by Angels, you are getting more than just the face value of our service. There is a lot of value attached to who we are and what we offer. We have an established reputation across Canada, and in Edmonton - having improved the lives of countless families within your community!

We are always flexible and communicative, and our priority is providing the best possible care to you and your loved one.
