She started out needing someone to drive her places and help her with things at home. As she got older, she needed more care. It was a situation where they were available to do everything that she was not able to do herself. They were very easy to work with as far as getting help started. As my mother got older, we added extra hours to her schedule with them and they did their best to schedule those hours. The care she got was excellent.

It's probably for the best. I have some other medical issues. I'm a level 2 diabetic, and the right side of my heart is degenerating, so I have some strength left.

My mom has dementia, so sometimes she isn't as independent as she would like, but sometimes she seems intimidated by the caregivers, and she doesn't let them know.

They have helped the most by being able to schedule and have people available without me having to do all of the work. They have every kind of care that they have under the same pay scale. I would suggest a tier based on service with an applicable fee. If they are just sitting, they shouldn't charge as much.

They did everything that needed to be done. I was able to rest some, and that was a plus. They came in the evening and stayed all night. We were both asleep most of the time, and there was not a lot required. They were fine, and they were good at calling me if he ever woke up.

My loved one's 90 and he has poor balance, so those things can't be helped much. My dad can't prepare meals for himself. He's never cooked and he doesn't know how to cook, so they provide him with his nutrition, which is important. They also help him if he needs to get to the doctor's appointment or a hair cut. I think that they have been dependable, which is important to my dad. The only negative has been the turn over in caregivers because he gets somebody that he likes that he feels like he can talk to, and then that person has to go or they move on to a different company.

I am 2,000 miles away and have a huge company, so I couldn't just drop everything and go there. Having them be so responsive and quick was huge for me. I learned about needing care on Monday night and I contacted a bunch of different caregivers the next morning. Most would take 24 to 48 hours, but Visiting Angels was able to get someone the same day.

They help by providing her with company, reducing her stress, reducing her worries, and by winning her trust. The communication is not always what it needs to be, especially when a caregiver can't come. I don't always get a call to let me know that. The less I know, the harder it is for my loved one.

It provides the comfort of knowing that my dad is in good hands, and I don't have to worry about if he's eating, getting dressed, or cleaned, and someone is there if he falls. We have an outstanding caregiver, and there is a comfort in knowing that their people are trained and certified. If anything happens, they will send a replacement.

They have a crazy system because an aide comes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I have a different aide come Tuesday and Thursday. After I discussed the different caregivers with the owner and told them I was going to leave their agency, they were able to provide one aide for the whole week, which has been fantastic. The caregiver I have from Visiting Angels is proficient; however, they aren't all good and there seems to be a large turnover.

The administrative staff has been quick to respond to any concerns that I've had. Usually the staff is prompt and I haven't had any issues with the staff not being prompt.

Visiting Angels has been a long process and I feel like we have educated them on how they are supposed to run their company. There were times where if I hadn't happened to be in town, then my loved one would have had no one there. My loved one depends on Visiting Angels, I know that Visiting Angels does go out of their way to provide people for them.

I've already recommended Visiting Angels a number of times. We've had them for over 10 years and found them to be open and responsive. They provide quality caregivers and work with us to make changes as needed. Their price is reasonable. Visiting Angels is there to try to help my mother. They do what needs to be done and sometimes go over and above. Some of the caregivers are more comfortable working with dementia patients than others, but they all try.

I like that Visiting Angels offers compassionate care and that the caregivers treat their client like a person. Visiting Angels is one of the best agencies out there. They hire kind, compassionate people who are able to handle older clients. My mother has said her caregivers from Visiting Angels are her friends. My mother does not see them as people that come to work, but people who come to help her because they love her. I think that is incredible. It is really helpful that the caregivers show they care about the client.

Very disappointed in visiting angels, mostly the management. Made us feel like our 100 year old loved one was not important enough. Often Did not call back when we requested additional help in the last few days. Never updated the ladies on the worsened condition of the client. Then send a new, very young girl, without any experience that was kind but of no help whatsoever. They send a lot of different people, which was not what they initially told us. They said they would try to send mostly the same 2 or so people. There were 3 people that were really good and kind. One moved away after only one visit. When we requested extra help, we were told they did not have anyone available, even though one of the ladies was not accepting any other jobs, just in case we needed her.

Do not use this agency. I had s horrible experience. The quality of their staff is poor. My in laws had valuables stolen from them. Another staff member came to their home to find a wheelchair and a step ladder blocking the entrance to their bedroom so they couldn't get out. Yeah I know unbelievable. I am a RN so you can imagine the fury I was experiencing. Owner of agency was rude, no compassion and basically told me I was a liar. I had to post this review in hopes that no other family has to go through what my family went through. My father in law had Parkinson's and my mother in law had severe dementia so I could not gets good information from them on details. I quit my very good nursing job to care for them myself.

Visiting Angels was referred to me because they're a national organization. At that time, I found a way that my father could be given companion care. My dad was able to live independently but he needed help. I've had some really good experiences with them for the most part. The girls that they send me are great. I have my chosen ones. Those are the girls that I've gotten to know very well. It started out as companion care but it's been total care now for two and half years. It kinda changed the level of our needs. So I wanted to get people that I could know and trust. So I worked with just a few girls. I'm not implying that I couldn't trust the other girls but it just makes it easier when you know them. They're like family. I have Visiting Angels for a total of 4 years now.

I watch my mom 4 months of each year being fortunate enough to share this role with my sisters in another state. I knew it would be necessary, for me to retain some sense of balance and relief, to have in-home care at times. I chose Visiting Angels who were wonderful work with in every way. They have a seamless interview process and were able to make a perfect match of providers for my mom's care during the times I needed it. What's the saying, "When mamas happy, everybody's happy." That works in this case. I will continue to use Visiting Angels as long as I am a caregiver. Stress free and mom likes the people they send!
