STUFFING
A young boy was sitting in his grandmother's kitchen,
watching her prepare the Thanksgiving meal.
"What are you doing?" the boy asked.
"Oh, I'm just stuffing the turkey," his grandmother replied.
"That's cool!" he said. "Are you going to hang it next to the deer?"

certified home health professionals
, are ready to provide compassionate and dependable assistance with the activities of everyday living to seniors, the disabled, those recovering from surgery and to those who are simply frail. Our

We truly understand how challenging and alien the entire home care selection process can be...and we are 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) to help insure that the best interests of the family and their loved ones are met.
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 challenge of long-distance caregiving.
