Our Home Care Services Team

Larry Michel and Karen Woodrow, a husband and wife team, acquired Visiting Angels Newton/Canton in March of 2020. Larry and Karen also own and manage the Visiting Angels Chelmsford/Burlington office.
Larry spent 25+ years as a business consultant to the U.S. government and other international agencies working in developing countries before working in-home care. He managed multi-million-dollar projects covering healthcare infrastructure, microfinance, and privatization. Larry is happy to be helping local area seniors age in place safely and comfortably.
Karen has over 25 years of experience in consumer marketing. She ran the first Coca-Cola promotion in post-war Bosnia and developed social health programs in Southeast Asia. Karen understands the importance of having support from qualified and compassionate caregivers through her own experience with aging parents. Not only does it provide peace of mind, but it also allows families to spend better quality time with their loved ones.

Barney and Eileen Freiberg-Dale became franchise owners of Visiting Angels Newton/Canton in January 2004. They devoted their professional careers to human services before venturing into the home care industry. They share the same belief with Larry and Karen in valuing their employees while providing essential care to adults with disabilities and seniors aging in place.

Kudos From Our Clients
"They have caring people. They do what they say they will. First of all, they cared for my father at his home. They were very flexible and worked with my sister. They were also flexible and able to take care of my mother at a nursing home. They gave us the same caregiver who helped my father who worked well with him." ~Frank H. in Newton, MA
"The caregiver and I are a match made in heaven. She just seems to know exactly what I need without even asking me. I haven't had any problems because Visiting Angels is so efficient. The impact that Visiting Angels has had on my quality of life is tremendous. Visiting Angels does exactly what I wanted. There are things that they do that I didn't even know I wanted! I am really very pleased." ~Helen, client in Norwood, MA
