Visiting Angels - McKinney

Mrs. N. Adams

My husband was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in April of 2018. Soon after, it became apparent that I was unable to care for his needs without help. My husband and I moved to Frisco, TX to stay with our daughter and son-in-law so we could get the care he needed. Since my son-in-law worked the night shift, he was able to help care for my husband from 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon. My daughter’s job enabled her to help from 4:30 in the afternoon until bedtime. That left a gap of 4 hours each afternoon when I was left to care for my husband alone, and that’s when we contacted Visiting Angels. It was the best decision we made during the long, painful journey that led us to seeing my husband slowly deteriorate and succumb to this hateful disease. During that 8 month period, the Angels were such a blessing. We could never have done without their reliable, kind and loving care. Every day they came, these young ladies so full of compassion for my husband, brought joy to him. His eyes would light up when they came to his side and spoke to him. They fed him, took him to the bathroom, changed his clothing and bathed him, and helped me around the house. In addition to visiting with my husband, they talked to me and the bond we forged between those ladies and each member of our family was a tight bond of love, trust and caring for a man who was coherent in his speech only briefly, who was cogent off and on for only an hour or so each day. Yet these young women brought light and comfort, peace and love to a helpless and slowly dying man. I cannot recommend Visiting Angels highly enough. Their care enabled us to have some freedom from worry especially when it came to having care overnight and for a weekend or two. God bless these ladies for their deep commitment to give the very best loving care within their considerable abilities to my husband and our family. The Family of Laddie Adams

I am very satisfied with the professional caregivers assigned to care for my sweet mother. They are very attentive at all times and demonstrate the best ways in doing every needed task. Nothing gets overlooked and I am learning some very helpful ways of helping my Mom too. The caregivers are always punctual, professional and really make my Mom feel valued. I am so pleased with the outstanding services provided every single day.

I went with Visiting Angels. They provide personal care to my husband like getting his meals ready, getting him dressed, and taking him swimming or doing pool exercises. So far, our experience with them has been excellent. The caregivers are excellent and very eager to please.

I went through Visiting Angels and got caregivers for four hours. Some of them were excellent. Some I’m still friends with; they still call and see how my husband is. But one of the caregivers cannot speak English and I told her to get some water and she came back bringing a bottle of beer. I called Visiting Angels and I said, "Who interviewed her? Because she can’t read," and told them what she had done. And I said, "I don’t think you ought to send her anywhere because that could have been dangerous." We still used them even when my husband was in the other facility, as he was just not doing well and we were afraid to leave him alone all night because he needs to be checked, although it cost a lot more. But she was very nice.

When we realized that Mom & Dad needed more care than our family could provide on a daily basis, we started calling local home care agencies (we live in Plano).....after speaking to Theresa with Visiting Angels I knew that we had found a friend! She was so helpful and was able to set everything up quickly and efficiently. Mom & Dad were able to stay in their home; their caregiver (Cathy) has become another member of the family and now I can go to work, go to my children's events and even take a night off with my husband and not worry what is happening with my parents. Visiting Angels ...a perfect name for the Angels that come each day to visit!
