How do I start services?

Call us today. We will have our staff come to your home and conduct a free, no obligation assessment. We will then, at your direction, identify caregivers who have the skills, personality and availability to assist you. You then will be able to meet the caregiver and if you approve, they will begin working for you.

​​

What if I need specific requirements that are out of the ordinary?

At Senior Homecare by Angels, we listen to your needs. We customize the care plan to meet your needs, whether it is for respite (as needed), regular daily/weekly schedule, overnight/day shifts or 24 hour care. We provide services wherever you need them, including private residences, nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living, etc.

​

Are your caregivers PSW's?

Many of our caregivers are PSWs (Personal Support Workers) or have other credentials. However, we feel that it is even more important that all of our caregivers are experienced. We make every effort to focus on maturity and personality, as well as credentials.

Can I use my Long-Term Insurance plan?

​

Do I sign a contract?

Senior Homecare by Angels does not use contracts. We use a Client Services Agreement, which details contact information, services desired, and an assessment of your needs.

​

Wouldn't it be better to find a caregiver on my own?

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.

Senior Homecare by Angels takes care of each caregiver's payroll taxes, tax reports, worker's compensation insurance, etc. These details and responsibilities can be overwhelming if you are considering finding and hiring a caregiver on you own.
