There’s No Place Like Home!
Sometimes, nursing homes or retirement centers seem to be the
only options for care. Visiting Angels® non-medical homecare
services allow people to maintain the independence of their
daily
routines and familiar surroundings. We can help your loved
ones avoid the emotional trauma of leaving your cherished
home. We
believe that you and your family should have a choice: about
where and how to live, as well as who will provide your care.
You Choose Your Caregiver.
At Visiting Angels® we know it isn’t easy to
make the decision to invite a caregiver into your home to provide
non-medical homecare. That’s why our personalized screening
system is designed to maximize your peace of mind. You’ll
have the opportunity to interview any caregiver that we refer
to you. We let you choose the caregiver you trust.
We Recruit Experience!
You deserve to have a caregiver who is experienced in providing
the services that are needed in your home. Our caregivers have
a strong homecare employment history and provide references to
us from reliable sources (such as previous clients, agencies,
healthcare institutions, religious organizations, volunteer organizations,
etc.).
Caregivers With Character!
Visiting Angels® runs a criminal background check
on each new caregiver. However, we also emphasize intangible traits
such as a caring personality. When you meet our caregivers, you’ll
be pleasantly surprised to see that at Visiting Angels®, character
matters!
You Are In Charge.
You are in charge of everything. Because we are a non-medical,
custodial care agency and not a nursing agency, Visiting Angels®
will not dictate to you what your schedule is to be (i.e. what
time to wake up, when to bathe, meal schedules etc.). You are
the boss. It is our job to adjust to your schedule and to keep
you comfortable in your home.
Don’t Settle For Less.
Our philosophy of non-medical homecare is to never compromise
on providing high quality services to your family. Our system
allows you to afford a top quality caregiver. At Visiting Angels®,
we keep our overhead low to avoid passing high costs on to you.
In addition, we believe that our caregivers should be well paid
and treated with respect. For this reason, we can attract and
maintain the best quality caregivers available.
We’re Proactive.
You won’t get “lost in the shuffle”
with us. Some agencies are too big or simply react to calls from
clients rather than anticipating your needs in advance. We begin
by reviewing your needs through discussions with involved family
members, when necessary we consult with the care recipient’s
healthcare providers. Our service coordinator carefully selects
the caregiver with the necessary experience and personality that
is best suited to the needs of each client. Next, we arrange for
the caregiver to visit your home so that you can participate in
the selection process. After service begins, we implement our
system of ongoing personalized contacts with your family to see
to it that the care recipient is receiving the best possible care.
