Her focus on client care is unwavering. She exudes all the qualities of an ideal caregiver including patience, resourcefulness, punctuality, and reliability. She has received 4 Perfect-10 scores in the past 2 years on the Home Care Pulse Survey. Lynda remains committed to her clients that she works with. She is able to juggle her personal commitments without sacrificing quality client care.
Lynda looks for the positive in all situations and instills hope in clients, especially if they are having a difficult day. Lynda is a great trainer for other caregivers who shadow her as she is attentive to details and explains things in a way that’s easy for others to understand.”

“Keri has a gift that cannot be taught, trained, or learned. She is a pure humanitarian…Keri has became our ‘go-to person’ for any client needs, concerns, and ideas…She has single handedly led to a committed partnership between them and Visiting Angels…Every single resident sees her as the symbol of a ‘Visiting Angels’. We often hear ‘when we need help, we call Keri!’ Other caregivers look up to her as the benchmark for service, caring, and communication with the office staff.”

He is a great mentor to his co-workers who also speak very highly of him. He shows the upmost respect to his clients, and receives the same in return. It is such a rare gift he has to walk in a room, light it up and produce a broad smile on our senior's faces!

Lisa Follin
Brian H. Bailie
“Lisa will always put the needs of her clients first. Lisa has always shown her commitment to her clients. Last winter we had a snowstorm that caused an issue with her getting to work. The client lives about 1 mile from Lisa. She walked 1 mile to his home that day. Last year Lisa had a health emergency when she was getting ready for work…Her husband called from the ER and Lisa was worried about the client! Lisa was off for 10 days and her clients were calling us regularly during that time to check on her. Lisa has always stated that she wants to be the type of caregiver that she would have for her family member if needed.”

When she is not interacting with a client directly, she is looking for ways to be useful around the house. She provides outstanding end-of-life care. Tanya went way above and beyond as a brand ambassador by volunteering to speak at the Walk to End Alzheimer's. She spoke on-stage in front of about 300 people. There wasn't a dry eye in the place as she spoke about how she compassionately cares for her primary client, who has Alzheimer's.”

“Marnie is our "go-to" Angel when we have clients onboarding who are on hospice. She has this calm compassionate energy about her that immediately makes clients and families feel at ease. When one of her clients was in their final days…she knew this client would be the most comfortable if she could provide the care. Marnie is a great evangelist of the Visiting Angels brand from leaving us great reviews to speaking about how working with Visiting Angels has changed her mindset about caregiving as a whole. She often talks about how Visiting Angels has changed
Julie Covey
Marian & Duane Karons
“Julie ensures that all aspects of her client’s daily lives are fulfilled…Because [her clients] are no longer able to be out in the world, she has brought the world to them. She represents the best of home care to all visitors to the household. Since coming to work for us Julie has grown through training and experience, and has become the number one advocate for her clients and their families. She represents the best of what home care means: keeping her clients independent, safe, clean, well-fed…and comfortable in their own home.”
