Visiting Angels is a non-medical in-home care service for anyone who needs assistance or support. Although we mostly care for seniors, we can work with individuals of all ages.

Our service provides a holistic approach to support those living with chronic conditions, pain or serious illnesses, such as:

• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Lung disease, including emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Heart failure
• Liver or kidney failure
• Neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's, dementia, Parkinson's, and Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS)
• Transitional care, helping to readjust to being at home after a hospital stay

As non-medical caregivers, we do not give medicines, but we can give reminders about medication schedules. Our care aims to improve the quality of life and engender dignity, hope and peace for your loved one, your family and caregivers.

Many of our PCAs receive additional training in special services for older adults, including fall prevention, Alzheimer's care, personal care, including bathing, grooming, dressing and toileting, and companion care, providing emotional and social support.
