I want to thank you for our live-in Visiting Angel, Hawa. She was with my mom the last few weeks of my dad’s life and was there at his passing. She treated him with utmost respect and care, she kept him clean at all times, never left him alone, and checked on him several times during the night to make sure he was comfortable. After my father passed she felt it very important for her to caringly clean him before he was taken away. She hugged my mother, my sister and I and we could see she also was moved by his passing. I would recommend Hawa for any other care that is needed.

Upon qualifying for the VA’s [Veterans Administration] home care, I was grateful but my expectations were very low. I thought I would be assigned an impersonal aide who wouldn’t be interested in me or in my specific needs. To my great surprise, though, Visiting Angels matched me up with a caregiver who not only honors my requests and decisions every time, but who also made my transition to receiving outside help so easy. Now, my “Angel” is both my home health aide and my good companion. Thank you so much Visiting Angels!

To the Visiting Angels: You named your business after Elva because she is a living angel. I’ve always been grateful you sent her to me. I miss her so much the days she isn’t here. Her job isn’t easy putting up with my complaining about all my sicknesses and she never complains about it—not even when I beat her playing Scrabble (she wins more than I do). Thank you again for giving me one of your angels. Bless you all.

Dear Visiting Angels, Ben has been a fabulous caregiver. He keeps my husband safe, engaged and happy. We could not be getting through the recovery period without him. Please thank all of your excellent staff as well!

I am writing to inform you of my deep appreciation for Maria B, my home health aide for over 2 years. During that time I can always count on her to come when she is scheduled. I would like to tell you some of the things she does for me: She straightens the sheets on my bed and changes them as necessary. She cleans the bathroom. At least twice a week she vacuums my rugs. She steam cleans the hardwood floors. She takes my laundry to the laundromat and picks it up the next day, folds it, and puts it away. She does my grocery shopping, goes to the bank, and post office as needed. Her personal care consists of great back rubs to my shoulder and arms and helps me with my shower. My hands are so arthritic–she rubs them with lotion and helps me put on gloves. Her helping me with meals is invaluable because I have trouble swallowing. There is no one in your organization that can compare to the care she is giving me.

Visiting Angels did everything possible to keep my dad comfortable during his final days. The live in aide was absolutely wonderful, caring, gentle and respectful. He was definitely the person I would want caring for me or my family. All of the other aides were also very good. I appreciated the ethics this agency instilled in their aides and commend the owners, Rudy and Nora, for doing a great job! I also enjoyed meeting Rudy and spoke with Nora on the phone. Both are extremely caring and supportive! Their superior quality of care will definitely help ease your mind, especially during the stressful times created with care for a sick or dying family member.
