Our Staff
Debra Desrosiers, CSA, CADC, HCC/MC, Director
Certified Senior Advisor, Certified Alzheimer's/Dementia Coach, Home Care Certified with Memory Care Specialization
Debra is a native of Manchester NH. After graduating from Southern New Hampshire University with a degree in Business, Debra was employed as a Corporate Controller of a car rental agency servicing six locations in NH & MA for 15 years. Debra’s first priority has always been customer service and treating people with dignity and respect. Debra had a vision of how she would provide customer service to clients as well as treat employees with respect and compassion if she owned that company. After some serious thought and need for change she went on a mission searching for her own opportunity that would be personally satisfying and would give back to her community. Debra came across Visiting Angels and researched the franchise extensively before purchasing in 2004. Debra has strong family connections with Down syndrome and dementia that led her on the path of servicing families and providing them with the top notch care they deserve. Debra has walked down the path so many of our clients are experiencing themselves. Debra listened to families, often expressing frustration that they had few alternatives other than to place their loved ones in a nursing facility. Before long, Debra’s dream was realized with the families her agency began to care for and had established some great relationships.
In the spring of 2004, Debra opened the first Visiting Angels office in NH in Auburn and then a second location in the Lakes Region. Debra’s hard work, dedication, and commitment to her clients have earned her an excellent reputation in the community. Since going into business, her agency has served several thousands of families in the Southern, Central and Lakes Region New Hampshire areas and her clientele continues to expand.

Ron Desrosiers, Director
After Ron earned his business administration degree, he dedicated 15 years of his professional life to the manufacturing industry in inventory control and account management. Inspired by my wife’s vision to create a successful business to address the needs of seniors wanting to stay in their homes, Ron joined her when she opened Visiting Angels in 2004. Ron wears many important and supportive hats here at Visiting Angels. He handles all the accounting for the agency, which is an enormous task considering Visiting Angels employs over 100 caregivers as well as six full time office staff. He also handles much of the IT, all vehicle maintenance for the small fleet of Visiting Angels company cars, and maintains the building and property.
Both Debra and Ron provide a supportive and relaxed atmosphere here for the dedicated office staff at Visiting Angels. Ron enjoys the office staff here and is pleased to have created a workplace where their three dogs are welcome, well cared for, and truly loved by the team! Ron is also very active in community involvement. Ron is a volunteer for the Auburn Fire Department.
