Visiting Angels knows that providing care for your loved one requires a holistic approach. This holistic approach entails care for the individual, both inside and outside of the home. By utilizing modern technology, our social care program helps families stay connected by using platforms like Facebook, Skype, FaceTime, etc., to remain active and engaged.
Because of this program, I was able to experience two of the greatest joys in life – becoming a grandmother and seeing my son become a new father. Skyping and Facebooking with my son and his family are now a normal part of my life. It helps me feel like I’m still an important part of their lives even though I’m miles and miles away. — Kathryn

My mother in law had an accident last October and broke her pelvis. After a one month stay in a skilled nursing facility, we knew she would require assistance with daily bathing, light cooking, and help with her daily rehabilitation exercises. We contacted Visiting Angels in San Ramon and received a prompt, professional response. They sent out a registered nurse to assess her care needs and quickly following our appointment, we were assigned a wonderful care giver! She had many years of experience and jumped right in to help my mother in law get right back on her feet. She helped with daily showers, exercises and light cooking! She was a fabulous cook! Our care giver helped with errands, grocery shopping, and provided a sense of peace and security while my mother in law healed and regained her independence. During our six week time using Visiting Angels, we received weekly check in phone calls to make sure we were happy with our caregiver and anything else they could provide to make her rehabilitation success
