You are on a horse, galloping at a constant speed.  
 
On your right side is a sharp drop off, and on your left side is an elephant traveling at the same speed as you.  
 
Directly in front of you is another galloping horse but your horse is unable to overtake it.
 
Behind you is a lion running at the same speed as you and the horse in front of you.  
 
What must you do to safely get out of this highly dangerous situation?  
 
Get yourself off the carnival's merry-go-round!

A Satisfied Client's Review:

"We have been using Visiting Angels for my mother...We are very satisfied with the process and the situation. They are helping my mom with her personal maintenance. They help her dress, they keep her clean, and they make sure that she walks properly and that she doesn't fall. They do light housekeeping in the house, in the kitchen, and in her bedroom. They feed her, they make her meals, and they make sure that she takes her medicines. Also, they take her to the church and they take her to the hairdresser. My mom is very comfortable with them. Billing is on time and scheduling is good."

Angels Who Soar: Celebrating Our Hardworking Employees    
 
We are so proud of our wonderful, hard-working employees who go beyond the call of duty. Read why our Angels are so special...
 
Felicia P. is a friendly Angel who has greatly improved her performance over the past year. She is focused, reliable, and accommodating to schedule changes. She consistently clocks in and out on time, and completes/returns duty sheets to the office, as required by all caregiver employees. She cares for one of our treasured clients, who happily reports he can't do without her assistance!

Shawna W. has been with Visiting Angels for over 4 years. She demonstrates patience and a calm demeanor, which is invaluable when assisting clients. She gently encourages clients to participate in activities they may not otherwise have done on their own. She's hardworking and respectful to clients and staff alike. Procedure-wise, she rarely calls out, completes/returns duty sheets, and has clocked in/out regularly.

We are grateful for you and thank you for your hard work, Felicia and Shawna!

AboutOurCareAbout Our Care

Visiting Angels is a New Jersey-licensed and accredited, non-medical home care company committed to going beyond the "industry standard" to provide an exceptional level of security, comfort and peace of mind to our clients and their families. Our "Angels", all certified home health professionals , are ready to provide assistance with the activities of daily living to seniors, the disabled, those recovering from surgery, and to those who are simply frail. Our services include tasks such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, and shopping, to more personal tasks such as hygiene assistance, bathing, dressing, and grooming.
 
Visiting Angels ' in-home care helps make it possible for seniors and other adults to continue living at home safely. We understand how challenging the home care selection process can be. We're experienced in working with families, with loved ones resistant to receiving care, and with third-parties payors (such as insurance companies and the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs).

Visiting Angels' services help families spend more mutually-rewarding and meaningful time with their loved ones and also helps provide comfort and peace of mind to those who face the challenges of long-distance caregiving.
