At VISITING ANGELS, we know that it isn't easy to make the decision to
invite a caregiver into your home to provide homecare for loved ones
who can no longer be safely left alone.
Select Your Caregiver!
You'll have the opportunity to interview and select any caregiver who
we refer to you. You'll only accept a caregiver that you feel totally
comfortable with. When you meet our caregivers, you're going to be
pleasantly surprised to see that at VISITING ANGELS, character matters!
Personalized Background Screening
Our personalized caregiver background screening system is designed to
maximize your peace of mind. However, we place most emphasis on the
intangible traits in a caregiver which will mean so much in your day to
day experience in working with them. These traits include: a caring
loving personality, a strong desire to help people and a family
experience of caring for a loved one.
We Recruit Experience!
Common traits of our caregivers include prior experience in home care
giving, experience with volunteer organizations and/or affiliations
with religious organizations. Most importantly, our caregivers provide
references to us from sources we can trust (other agencies, nursing
homes, religious organizations, charities, hospices, assisted living
communities etc.). It is most important to us to put your needs
first! We will only refer a caregiver to you who has the necessary
experience to fulfill your individual needs.
Benefits
What this means for you... Is that we're here to support you, not change your life - YOU ARE IN CHARGE!
Continuity of Care
You are in charge of everything. Because we strive to maintain
“continuity of care” (we keep the same caregiver you select with you as
long as possible), VISITING ANGELS will not dictate to you what your
schedule is to be (i.e. what time to get up, when to bathe, meal
schedules etc.), as do some agencies that continually send new,
unfamiliar staff. We also do not require you to adjust your schedule
to accommodate the needs of our staff. You are the boss. It is our
job to adjust to your schedule and to see to it that you remain
comfortable in your own home.
You Can Afford the Best
Our philosophy of home care 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 to you. In addition, we believe our
caregivers should be well paid and treated with respect. For this
reason, we can attract and maintain the best quality caregivers
available.
