Senior Humor
Senior Driving
As a senior citizen was driving down the interstate, his cell phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Vernon, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on I-95. Please be careful!"
"Heck," said Vernon, "It's not just one car. It's hundreds of them!"

Angels Who Soar: Celebrating Our Hardworking Employees
We are so proud of our wonderful, hard-working employees who go beyond the call of duty. Below is why our Angels are so special...
Aline D. celebrated her 7th anniversary with Visiting Angels in March. For the past 2 years, she's been working with one particular client. In these 2 years, she's been consistently on time and has had infrequent call-outs. Clients admire her focus and dependability; she does what is she is asked and more! She has shown loyalty and dedication with her many years of service at Visiting Angels.
Jeilyn F. has only been working for Visiting Angels less than a year, but has proven herself to be kind-spirited, driven, and hardworking. She has shown flexibility with her schedule in order to meet the needs of our client for whom she is providing care. She has gone above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable and content. Our client speaks highly of Jeilyn and that's no doubt due to her positive attitude and work ethic.
We are grateful for you and thank you for your hard work, Aline and Jeilyn!
