In-Home Care

Our In-Home caregivers are compassionate professional VNA staff members who come to your house to help you with day-to-day activities. In-home health care services can vary from dressing, bathing, and bathroom help to homemaking and fun and engaging life enrichment activities. Consider in-home care if you or a loved one is experiencing:

• Health, strength, mobility, or post-hospitalization concerns
• Alzheimer’s or dementia
• Loneliness
• Living apart from busy or distant relatives

Services are provided to seniors in their homes up to 24 hours per day, seven days per week throughout the Fox Valley area, including Oshkosh, New London, Hortonville and Greenville.

Personal Care

Valley VNA personal caregivers have specialized training, similar to that of certified nursing assistants. Each personal care plan is flexible, from the number of hours of care per day to short- or long-term arrangements. Our caregivers can help you or your loved one with:

• Dressing
• Bathing and grooming of hair and nails
• Bathroom assistance
• Exercise, walking, and wheelchair transfers
• Meal preparation
• Light housekeeping duties
  • Dishwashing
  • Tidying up (dust, sweep, vacuum)
  • Laundry
  • Shopping and errands
• Transportation to appointments and social activities
• Life Enrichment activities (card games, social outings, hobby and craft projects, and more)

Your needs are changing.

What are your options? There comes a time for a little extra help as we age. If you’re noticing some changes and starting to wonder what help is available, it may be time to explore your Options & Solutions, a free program of Valley VNA. A nurse comes to your house to talk with you about information and services in the community that will help in your individual situation.
