Visiting Angels - Charlottesville, VA

Caroline T

The caregivers watch a lot of TV. I am glad that there is someone there with her though. I would recommend them but there are some things that I would like them to be doing that they are not doing.

Elwood G

Helped with father-in-law's wife. Having a caregiver give less pressure on shoulders gives and more breathing room. Everyone has been friendly and convenient. They are always checking in to help.

Kirsten S_1

She is more engaged and has more social activity in her life. I like our current caregiver.

Richard M_54

We were in great need. The care they provided made my experience positive. I liked how quickly they were able to accommodate us.

Nicole G

We are very lucky to have services provided by Visiting Angels for my father in law with Alzheimer’s. Our current caregiver Frances M is exceptionally pleasant and always smiling! Frances has also taken fundamental care for other family members in the past so it has been an easy transition for her and us into this new role of caregiving for our current loved one. France’s is always willing to do whatever is needed to keep our loved one comfortable and at ease in his home. We know it’s hard on everyone dealing with Alzheimer’s but she does it with grace. We are beyond thankful for the support. Marilyn and Pat are exceptional as well! Always checking to see what they can do better to improve our situation. It’s always a pleasure to speak with anyone in the office! Thank you so much for all you do and for keeping our loved ones care at the top of your priority list!

If we didn't have them, it would be a struggle. They are prompt and reliable and they are good. We have the same caregivers.

She is a lot safer and getting regular meals. It has been working well.

I had a fall and was in the ER and sent home. I wasn't able to stand and walk to do anything. They rescued me. I liked that when I reached out to find out about services, I was contacted immediately.

Kenny S_1

The communication between the scheduler, Wanda, and myself is great. I like that they are dependable. They are very kind and considerate. Wanda takes really good care of my dad.

Lois K_6

They match the caregiver to the person that needed the care. They did an excellent job matching my mother to the caregiver, Brittney.

Pamela P_10

She is almost completely immobile, so I pull her pants up and down in the bathroom. They have such quality employees to take care of my mom.

Virginia H_15

They were there with her while she slept so I could sleep at night. I really liked the caregivers that came.

Patricia D_33

The most frustrating thing was that they took down all of the qualifications we requested and then sent someone who couldn't do the job. They were all very nice, but we were very clear about what we needed and they sent a small 70-year-old woman who couldn't help us with my mother's needs, then the next person didn't show up, so I just canceled the services.

Provider Response

It was a tremendous help because otherwise I wouldn't have been able to go away. I liked that they were nice.

Carol T_16

The caregivers were amazing to her. A thing they would need to improve the scheduling.

It helps the client, sometimes they have trouble finding an in-between caregiver when there is a changeover. They stay in touch and keep me updated.

She has been a very challenging client, and they have really partnered with trying to help her. What I like about the agency is the living program and the level of communication.

The impact of the services have been great because my father has had an improvement. I like Visiting Angels because they are very responsive and they sent us a caregiver who fit our needs.

John "Phil" M

They come and help by taking him to appointments. I am not sure what they could do better. I like that we have Kristen, she is very kind.

Anonymous_5306

The caregivers helped him with bathing and skin care. They helped with his mobility. I appreciated the schedulers concern and compassion.

Christine K_9

Visiting Angels has made my experience positive by providing companionship for the client. I like Visiting Angels because they are prompt and punctual.

Gordon " Vic " P

It has freed up time for me to go do things. He is in good hand's while I am out. I like that they are easy to reach. They are nice.

Joanne Hilty

Visiting Angels Charlottesville is a great organization with an office staff always ready to support me, the client and my care giver. They sent me the best care giver ever! And she loves doing my hair, making me feel better. She is always on time and comes in with a smile and a laugh. Wonderful companion and makes great lunches. This all in addition to caring for my needs.

Judith H_15

The few times that they were here, she had a positive experience. They are genuine and honest. The ladies were nice that I dealt with.

Mary Lee S_1

I could not function without the agency. The pleasant attitude and so above board and I don't have anything negative. I like that they are very nice, corporative and very positive.

Everything that we have asked of them so far has been good. I like that they make sure they have someone for us.

We worked with them for only a week. The first person got sick during the shift and left in an ambulance, but other than that, it was fine.

David H_45

The people that I have spoken to are very easy to talk to and receptive to our ideas and requests. My dad enjoys the companionship and it seems to have helped his alertness and awareness on day to day basis. He hasn't had skilled care. I think they made some caregiver changes that they didn't tell us about.

Francis "Milt" C

The caregiver has helped him the most with companionship, and it enables me to go out and run errands and do things I would not be able to do because of needing to take care of him. They have been really helpful. The only issue has been that there is a lack of consistency because several of the homecare aides have had issues that caused them not to continue, so we haven't had the same one all the time.

Provider Response

Shearin "Sherry" E

They will do anything we ask them to. We've only had one caregiver and she is excellent.

It is just a difficult situation. It is nothing that they are doing wrong. I have to be significantly involved when they are here because my mom is hardheaded. They are working out fine so far. The people are collaborative.

I have heart disease, diabetes, and don't hear very well. She helps me with hygiene. She fixes my breakfast and lunch. I would recommend them highly. I like the caregiver. She is very good.

There is not anything they can do to make my life easier. They help me with meal prep. They help me to get a bath and helping me get dressed. They vacuum, dust and do light cleaning. The agency is very responsive.

Someone being here with my dad was always a good thing. We needed later hours and they didn't have them.

She took care of my husband and gave me time out. They sent out the caregiver and she was an awesome all-around good person.

The caregiver was able to help my grandmother because she could not be alone. They listen to my concerns about scheduling the caregiver.

Provider Response

Richard T_13

This agency needs to improve their consistency. The caregivers had to make a phone call to clock in and clock out, which was a pain.

Provider Response

Mary W_44

My mother doesn't need in-home care, but it made me feel a lot better about leaving her when I went to work to have Visiting Angels there. Visiting Angels treated my mother very respectfully.

Provider Response

Cuthbert W

They provide socialization and keep my dad active and stimulated. I can leave him alone with the caregiver. They could assure that the caregiver is showing up on time.

Provider Response

Alice S_5

The service was very helpful. It gave my mom a routine to take her medications and eat. I liked the lady who was with my mom. She was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Provider Response

Edwin H_2

Their person is consistent in coming. They don't have any nursing staff, it is just caregivers, so they don't have a wide range of services. They were limited by the VA and in the number of hours.

Provider Response

Robert H_63

I was able to comfortably leave the house and know he's being taken care of. They had a young lady who had experience working at the nursing home. We were her first in home care and it would have been better if she had dementia training.

Provider Response

Anonymous_4506

If the caregiver they send is an experienced caregiver, they really help. The caregivers help with my daily living. I had never had any pain and when this struck me a couple months ago, I was not accustomed to having any pain. One of the caregivers I had did not know how to cook and she was quite young. She had not had a lot of training or experience when I got her.

They've made my life easier by taking the burden off of my household because everyone had changed everything to make sure my mom was okay. I would tell a friend that they get personal. They understand where you're coming from and they help you through the process.

They could have been more experienced. It depends on what they need them for. I would recommend them for short term overnight intensive care but it doesn't work for long term with the constant transition of caregivers.

Provider Response

Brenda L_12

They didn't change my daily life, but they were helpful. Generally, they were here when they said they would be here.

It makes it easier to go to work. The flexibility is good and wanting to work with the schedule if something changes. Most of the people are serious about what they do, which is good.

At this point, dementia has stopped growing rapidly so that is a concern, we might need it more now. I like that the caregiver has a good report with the client and they will do what I ask them to do, but they do not push themselves.

It's been a very stressful time for us. I had to put up with a lot of challenging things, but it had nothing to do with the agency rather just my husband's challenges. The young lady who we had was most personable, and familiar with handling dementia, she handled my husband very well.

It means that someone in the family isn't having to do all of my mother's care. I like that they're able to give us help when we need help.

I know that at least three times a week someone is there for them so it provides me peace of mind. They have been very easy to work with and we had a challenging start because my father and step-mother were a little resistant to the idea. Visiting Angels was very supportive about how to deal with that and they gave me some advice. The initial assessment put them at ease.

To begin with, they had a hard time scheduling someone to come out. They had a hard time to find someone or get someone to come out. They did very well. The caregiver was prompt and she did really good for my father.

Provider Response

It's not fair because there have been two different qualities of caregivers. A few of them were absolutely horrible. It took me a long time to get quality caregivers. It's hit or miss. I have incredible caregivers, but the office sent me people that were very bad. I met with the owner and he wouldn't listen to me. I wasn't impressed with him at all.

The service is prompt and good. I think if they vetted the people a little better, I would get better care. After going through a couple of angels, I found a very reliable and trustworthy one. I know they are capable of getting good caregivers.

They help with paperwork, for one thing, and we go through the mail I get. They make lunch, do light dusting and take me to the store. I have had very good luck with them, and when people are looking after me and doing good things, I would say they are keepers.

It seemed like they took people off the street who needed a job. It was ridiculous. They weren't reliable. When someone is ill and depends on their service, it is important that they are reliable. I didn't like the fact that they weren't consistent. One day I would have one person, and the next day I would have someone else. I hired them during a time of need to take care of us.

The biggest thing was they weren't very cost effective, and we couldn't use them for very long. There did seem to be a disconnect between the agency and the caregivers.

They need to communicate internally about patient's needs from one day to the next. They could train their staff on the patient's needs.

They helped with hygiene, eating, and all the things you need in daily life that are very difficult when you're 96. They gave him good care. We had one aide, Jane, and she was just the perfect caregiver.

They take her to appointments or to run errands. They have done a good job of matching up the caregiver with my mom and providing consistency with that.

I was using several companies so it was difficult to tell which company they were from. Overall, they did a very good job. They helped by providing physical help to her. One of the things was that one of the caregivers was not only professional, but he was extremely professional.

Provider Response

Steve O_1

Once they got the right person, and someone who was flexible with the work hours, things were good. They need to trust the caregivers more to work things out with the client and their family. I like that Visiting Angels tries hard to get someone to meet our needs; however, we had to go through 5 caregivers first. The good thing about them is that for the past year we have had the same caregiver.

Provider Response

Linda G

I was able to take my daughter to appointments, and I wouldn't have been able to unless someone was here for a few hours. It was a tough time because he was in pain and my mind was elsewhere, and it was wonderful to have them. They were friendly, prompt, and took care of my husband with whatever he needed.

Provider Response

Rick T_3

I want them to exercise her physically and mentally, they do those things, I just wish they would do them more. This last weekend was Memorial Day and there was a confusion about our caregiver. The company called to let us know that there wouldn't be a caregiver on Monday, but then they ended up sending someone to provide service.

I didn't have any problem when they were there. They stayed in contact with her, the did some light cooking, and they had to tell my father when to do her pills. They did light housework and bathing her. They could have cooked for. The only problem I ran into was that there was two or three days they couldn't have someone there.

Provider Response

Jacqueline C

They have been very cordial. I had some trouble when we first started up with some communication errors, but now we have a great caregiver that both me and my dad really like! I did not have anybody to take care of my dad, it almost felt like I was in jail! Now I have a day or two during the week where I can get out.

Their lack in caregivers for our area is an issue. They take care of my mother during the day, so we are able to work.

They are still getting their feet wet to find people to do the services for us. They have done a good job learning about my mother. We have been able to find two caregivers for my mom. It helps me because I am not in town, and I am the only child of hers that is alive. It brings me peace of mind that they are there for her.

Provider Response

We have had some caregivers that were not so good, but the last two that we have had have been very good. They help him to get to the bathroom, are there from dinner until he goes to bed, make sure that he has water, and makes sure that his needs are met for dinner.

I would tell others that Visiting Angels is responsive, flexible, and professional. They make daily efforts to accommodate our needs. My father has Alzheimer's so he gets cranky but he usually perks up when his caregiver shows up.

Visiting Angels had very nice and helpful caregivers. Visiting Angels made life easier by helping me and my loved one with things we can't do ourselves.

Provider Response

Joseph F

I'm less likely to recommend Visiting Angels because many of the caregivers don't show up, so there's that lack of consistency. I didn't like that the caregiver we had for a while was here last Friday, and she knew she was leaving but didn't say goodbye before she quit. I thought that was rude, although they said that was policy. However, they did get someone right away for me who seems to be okay. The impact Visiting Angels' services has on my husband's life is tremendous. It also makes a huge impact for me because I need their help so much.

Provider Response

Susan L_11

I would recommend Visiting Angels because they'e just been very thoughtful and careful from the beginning, explaining things to us carefully. We've had now two people who've come and they've both been terrific. The service has helped because I'm able to go out and do things on my own, so I don't have to worry about leaving my husband and the two people who've come have taken him over to the fitness center so he has something to do while I'm not here, and then also giving him a shower.

My loved one really needed Visiting Angels, and I couldn't always be there. Visiting Angels gave me a lot of peace of mind.

I would tell someone that everything was satisfactory with Visiting Angels, that they were helpful and informative, and that I have nothing but good to say about them. The most helpful thing about the services was that someone was checking up on my uncle when we couldn't be there.
