We’re Delighted to Hear from Families About Our Exceptional Care!
A 5-Star Review:
"From the very first phone call to get information, they were very kind and informative. It made our choice to go with them very easy. They found the perfect live-in [caregiver] for our family. My mom and dad are very well taken care of. They love our live-in and she has become part of our family. From the very beginning if I have any concerns or questions my phone calls are always returned within an hour at the most. Michelle is very attentive to all of our needs. We are very happy with Visiting Angels and highly recommend them."

Celebrating Our Hardworking Employees
We are so proud of our wonderful, hard-working employees who go beyond the call of duty. Below is why our Angels are so special...
Lois A: Lois is a loyal Visiting Angels caregiver, having joined our team in 2018. She is an experienced professional CHHA who is an excellent communicator with our office. For example, she will regularly update us if she is running late, has schedule changes, or has concerns with our clients. We are particularly grateful for Lois' quick action in alerting us to a potential life-threatening situation with a client. Thanks to her attentiveness, the matter was successfully resolved.
Judith W: Judith has been a dedicated member of the Visiting Angels team since 2018. In her role as a floater aide, she consistently displays flexibility in accepting cases throughout our service area. Our clients through the years have often lauded Judith's skills as a caregiver, and have appreciated her polite, friendly personality. In office matters, we appreciate her regularly clocking in/out and submitting duty sheets in a timely manner.
We appreciate and thank you, Lois and Judith!

Senior Humor
CAMPING
Two campers are walking through the woods when a huge brown bear suddenly appears in the clearing about 50 feet in front of them.
The bear sees the campers and begins to head toward them.
The first guy drops his backpack, digs out a pair of sneakers, and frantically begins to put them on.
The second guy says, "What are you doing? Sneakers won’t help you outrun that bear."
"I don’t need to outrun the bear," the first guy says. "I just need to outrun you."
