Our Character

Character matters at every business, but it is of paramount importance when it comes to the people providing services for older populations in their homes. We take the character of our people seriously at Visiting Angels in Crystal Lake, from our owners to our care team and our Angel caregivers. We want you to be fully comfortable with your experience, so we take every measure to ensure that we are delivering the highest quality of services around—employing only thoroughly vetted, compassionate people.

Entrusting Us with the Care of a Loved One in Their Home

At Visiting Angels Crystal Lake, we understand well some of the emotional barriers you may confront in allowing an unfamiliar care provider in the home of a loved one. We live in this community too, and we have the same concerns that our clientele have. When entrusting someone with the care of an older friend or family member—particularly if no one else is present in the home—people often have a whole range of concerns that should be addressed upfront:

1. Safety and Well-being: We examine the home for safety hazards and train our caregivers so they know how to prevent falls and other accidents. They may also provide appointment and medication reminders when appropriate.
2. Trustworthiness: We are extremely careful in who we hire, with thorough background checks and conversations with references and past employers.
3. Competence and Experience: We ensure that any caregiver you're matched with has been trained to handle conditions relevant to your situation, such as dementia or mobility issues.
4. Companionship and Respect: We aren’t happy unless you are. Any professional in the home knows to treat the person in their care with dignity and kindness. Their presence should also be a source of meaningful social interaction.
5. Communication and Customer Service: You deserve to expect regular, honest updates on your loved one’s condition and any concerns that arise.

A History of Delivering Trustworthy, At-Home Senior Care

People throughout the Crystal Lake community have been discovering the benefits of having an “Angel” to assist with their older loved ones for more than 15 years. While getting to know countless families in the surrounding area, our team has also built a reputation for crafting highly customized care plans to help their older loved ones remain comfortably in their homes as they age, with dignity and safety.

We encourage anyone considering partnering with us to explore our history, including the awards we have received in more recent years. We are honored to receive recognition for qualities such as our commitment to our staff and clients, because it means we are focused on the things that really matter.

A Community-Focused Team That Is Always Learning

We have learned a lot along the way, as well. We like to get involved in local organizations so we can get to know you and vice versa. Our community involvement ranges from engaging with a local task force on aging and participating in senior-friendly activities ourselves to getting involved in church groups.

Because we have a history here, our clientele has witnessed the ongoing education of our staff, as well as numerous awards we have received over the years for our high quality of service and people. We don’t just assist with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and transferring, but we are also a source of information that we believe can help seniors live more fulfilling lives.
