FAQ

Angels does not quote fixed rates because the fees can depend greatly on the type of service being requested and there are many factors which can affect pricing. Most services are based on an hourly rate, which will include travel time. 

You may want to arrange for Angels to check on her periodically/weekly to do some of the things you’d like to be there to do for her – make a pot of homemade soup/stew; buy groceries, clean up the household a bit, do the laundry, drive her to the doctor, and chat with her to see how she is really doing. Often parents don’t want to bother or worry their children, so they will fib over the phone about how they are really doing. Angels will carry out your specific requests in checking on your parent for you. 

Since Angels live in the same area as your dad, maybe you would like us to find some local activities which he could participate in – seniors social clubs, churches, day-trips sponsored by local organizations, classes, hobbies – things which you may not have time to find/research in his area. Angels can also provide transportation for him to get back and forth to these activities.

Or, you may just want to have Angels check in on him weekly to see if he needs help with anything around his house/apartment. We can conduct weekly visits he might look forward to an Angel's visit and a cheery ‘hello’.  

Yes, our caregivers can prepare a meal as needed. 

Yes, Angels can provide a sitter, which means that someone is present to help him if he needs help with something such as – getting to the bathroom, fixing his meals, waking him in the night to take medication, and acting as some company to alleviate his boredom. It is understandable that you do not want him to be alone, for we ourselves would not like to be at home all alone while recuperating from surgery. If he is resting well at night, you may just want someone there for a few hours each day, to make sure he eats something, does whatever exercise the doctor has prescribed, and to visit with him. 

Angels for elders opened for business in October 1999 offering full range caregiving services including, but not limited to; personal care, homemaking, transportation, and companion care. Angels For Elders and Wimberley Home Health formed a partnership on February 1, 2017. Ann Guilford, RN, and Kima Coltharp, RN, purchased Angels For Elders with the intention of offering care for those in need.

Absolutely not! We can also be “Angels For People”. We all need a bit of help sometimes with the busy lives we lead. Angels can provide personal services for anyone, but our main focus is on the elderly as their needs can be so great, and our ability/capacity to reach all markets is not that large at this time.

Yes.
