Visiting Angels

Visiting Angels is a homecare agency serving Warwick, Rhode Island and surrounding areas. Homecare agencies provide non-medical personal care services that allow individuals to remain safely in their homes while receiving assistance with daily activities.

Services provided by homecare agencies typically include personal care assistance (bathing, dressing, grooming), companionship, meal preparation, light housekeeping, medication reminders, transportation to appointments, and respite care for family caregivers.

In Rhode Island, homecare agencies are typically regulated by the Rhode Island Department of Health and generally must maintain a Home Nursing Care Provider License. Rhode Island requires licensure for home care providers.

Payment Options: In Rhode Island, Medicaid may help pay for homecare services through programs like Rhode Island HCBS Waivers. These Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers help eligible individuals receive care at home instead of in an institutional setting. Contact Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services or visit https://eohhs.ri.gov/consumer/long-term-care-services to learn about eligibility and how to apply.

When selecting a homecare agency, consider factors such as caregiver screening procedures, training requirements, supervision practices, and the agency's responsiveness to client needs and concerns. Visit Rhode Island Department of Health for more information about homecare services in Rhode Island.

Licensing requirements and regulations may change. We recommend verifying current requirements directly with your state's licensing agency.
